Question

Suppose 2.0 MW is to arrive at a large shopping mall over two lines. Estimate how much power is saved if the voltage is stepped up from 120 V to 1200 V and then down again, rather than simply transmitting at 120 V. Assume the transformers are each 99% efficient.

Solution

Step 1 of 6

Given have given

The power arrived
