A generator produces 41 MW of power and sends it to town at an rms voltage of 78 kV . What is the rms current in the transmission lines?
Added by Ronald B.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the RMS current using the formula I RMS = P / V RMS, where P is the power in watts and V RMS is the RMS voltage in volts. Show more…

A generator produces 40 MW of power and sends it to town at an rms voltage of $75 \mathrm{kV}$. What is the rms current in the transmission lines?
Pritesh R.
(II) If 30 $\mathrm{MW}$ of power at 45 $\mathrm{kV}$ (rms) arrives at a town from a generator via $4.0 \Omega$ transmission lines, calculate (a) the emf at the generator end of the lines, and (b) the fraction of the power generated that is wasted in the lines.
