Question

A town situated 20 km away from a power plant generating power at 440 V, requires 600 kW of electric power at 200 V. The resistance of the two-wire line carrying power is  /km. The town gets power from the line through a 3000-220 V step-down transformer at a sub-station in the town. Estimate the line power loss as heat.  

Solution

Correct option is

640 W

The total length of the line wire is . Therefore, the resistance of the two-wire line is

             .    

The 600 kW power is transmitted at 3000 V through the line. Thus, therms current in the line is  

        

The line power loss is  

        .
