Question: ( b ) A 3 - phase transmission line 2 5 km in length supplies a balanced load of 1 0 MW with 0 .

(b) A 3-phase transmission line 25 km in length supplies a balanced load of 10 MW with 0.8 lagging power factor and 33 kV at the receiving end of the line. The resistance and reactance per km per conductor are 0.35 and 0.6 respectively. A shunt capacitor is connected at the receiving end of the line so as to maintain the sending end voltage at 33 kV .
