Find the characteristics of the load at the sending end and the efficiency of a three-phase transmission line 160 km long delivering 15 MVA load at 110 kV, 50 Hz, and 0.9 power factor (lagging) having inductance 1.356 mH/km per phase, capacitance 0.0085 uF/km per phase, and resistance 40 ohms. Use nominal T-method.
Ans. Is = 70.3 20.8° Amp, Vsa.LD = 117.6 29.2 kV, power factor = 0.9898, n = 95.3%
