The line voltage of a balanced three-phase transmission line is 4200 V rms. The transmission line has an impedance of 4 6 Z j l    per phase. Assuming that the load receives a total of 1 MVA at 0.75 power factor lagging, determine (a) the complex power, (b) the power loss in the three-phase line, (c) the line voltage at the sending end of the transmission line.

    1.23MVA, 226.74kW, 5.16kV

    Explanation:

    Parameters Given

    line impedance, Zl = (4 + j6) ohms per phase

    load voltage, Vl = 4200V

    received complex power, S = 1 * 10⁶VA

    power factor, cosФ = 0.75

    Ф = 41.41°

    sinФ = 0.66

    Solution:

    S = √3 * Vl * I (that is √3 * line voltage * line current)

    1 * 10⁶ = √3 * 4200 * I

    I = 137.46A

    Vl = 4200∠0

    I = 137.46∠ - 41.41° lagging

    source voltage, Vs = load voltage, Vl + voltage drop along the line, Vd

    Vd = Zl * I where (Zl = 4 + j6, = √ (4² + 6²) ∠tan⁻¹ (6/4), = 7.21∠56.31°)

    Vd = 7.21∠56.31° * 137.46∠ - 41.41°

    = 991.22∠14.9°

    Vs = Vl + Vd

    = 4200∠0° + 991.22∠14.9°

    = 4200 (cos 0° + j sin 0°) + 991.22 (cos 14.9° + jsin 14.9°)

    = 4200 + 957.68 + j254.88

    = 5157.68 + j254.88

    or

    = 5163.97∠2.83° V (line voltage at the sending end of the transmission line)

    Sending end current, I = 137.46∠-41.41 A

    (a) Complex power = √3 * Vs * I

    = √3 * 5163.97∠2.83° * 137.46∠-41.41

    = 1229477.76∠-38.58°VA

    = 1.23∠-38.58MVA

    complex power = 1.23MVA

    (b) power loss in the three phase line, Pl = 3 * square of line current, I * line impedance, Rl

    Pl = 3 * I² * Rl where Zl = R + j X = 4 + j6 hence R = 4

    = 3 * 137.46² * 4

    = 226743.02W

    = 226.74kW

    (c) from the above, the line voltage at the sending end of the transmission line is = 5163.97V

    = 5.16kW
