(a) A transmission line which is 300 miles long has a reactance of 240 ohms per phase and a line-to-neutral capacitance of 600 ohms per phase. The equivalent circuit per phase can be approximated by the circuit shown in Figure 3.If the line-to-line voltage at the sender S is 330 kV and the load is disconnected.

(b) Calculate the reactive power of the source in kVAR. Is this power supplied or absorbed by the source?
