Question
An ac generator provides emf to a resistive load in a remote factory over a two-cable transmission line. At the factory a stepdown transformer reduces the voltage from its (rms) transmission value Vt to a much lower value that is safe and convenient for use in the factory. The transmission line resistance is 0.30 "/cable, and the power of the generator is 250 kW. If Vt ! 80 kV, what are (a) the voltage decrease )V along the transmission line and (b) the rate Pd at which energy is dissipated in the line as thermal energy? If Vt ! 8.0 kV, what are (c) )V and (d) Pd? If Vt ! 0.80 kV, what are (e) )V and (f) Pd?
