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%
