Question: A 3 - ph , 1 0 0 km long transmission line has resistance 0 . 0 5 / km , inductive reactance 0 .

A 3-ph,100 km long transmission line has resistance 0.05/km, inductive reactance 0.5/km, capacitive
susceptance 5.5x10-6 mho/km. The line delivers power to a Y connected 400 MW load at 0.9 lead power factor at
345 kV. Use the T model to represent the transmission line and calculate the following.
(a) The phase voltage across the shunt capacitor of the model.
(b) The current, line-to-line voltage and power factor at the sending end.
(c) Does the sending end power factor lag or lead.
(d) The transmission efficiency.
