One wire in a high-voltage transmission line carries 1,000 A starting at 560 kV for a distance of 270 mi. If the resistance in the wire is 0.500 Ω/mi, what is the power loss due to the resistance of the wire? MW

Step 1
Given: Resistance per unit length, R = 0.5 Ω/m Total distance of wire, D = 270 mi = 270 * 1609.34 m (1 mi = 1609.34 m) Total resistance, R_total = R * D R_total = 0.5 Ω/m * 270 * 1609.34 m R_total = 135,217.5 Ω Show more…

A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line carries electrical power a distance of $643.1 \mathrm{~km}$. The line transmits $7935 \mathrm{MW}$ of power at a potential difference of $1.177 \mathrm{MV}$. If the HVDC line consists of one copper wire of diameter $2.353 \mathrm{~cm}$, what fraction of the power is lost in transmission?
