Question: ( b ) A 3 - phase transmission line, which is 2 0 km long, provides a balanced load of 1 0 MW with a

(b) A 3-phase transmission line, which is 20 km long, provides a balanced load of 10 MW with a power factor of 0.8 lagging at the receiving end, where the voltage is 33 kV . The line has a resistance of 0.5 and a reactance of j0.5 per km . To maintain the voltage at the sending end at 35 kV , a shunt capacitor is connected at the receiving end of the line.
(i) Find the load current.
(5 marks)
(ii) Find the capacitor rating that can maintain the sending end voltage at 35 kV .(5 marks)
(iii) Find the capacitor rating that can maintain the sending end voltage at 33 kV .(5 marks)
