2. A DC distributor cable AB is fed at its ends A and B. Loads of 48A, 72A, 24A and 12A are taken from the cable at points C, D, E and F. The resistance of sections AC, CD, DE, EF and FB of the cables are 8, 6,4,10 and 5 m2 respectively (for the go and return conductors together). The voltage at points A & F is 240V. Estimate: i. the voltages at the feeding point B, the current supplied by each feeder ii. the potential differences at the loads C,D and E.

3.17. The one-line diagram of a three-phase power system is as shown in Figure 3.36. The transformer reactance is 20 percent on a base of 100 MVA, 23/115 kV and the line impedance is Z = j66.1252. The load at bus 2 is S₂ = 184.8 MW+j6.6 Mvar, and at bus 3 is S3 = 0 MW +220 Mvar. It is required to hold the voltage at bus 3 at 115/0° kV. Working in per-unit, determine the voltage at buses 2 and 1. V₁ "J₁vv 23 VV V₂. S₂ VV j66.125 FIGURE 3.36 One-line diagram for Problem 3.17 V3 S3

a.Why does power plants have high amounts of voltages? Explain. b.Is it safe for transmission lines to have high current instead of high voltage? Why? c.What phenomenon is avoided by having separations between three conductor phases? Explain this phenomenon.
Problem 3.5: From a 3-phase, 480 V generator switchboard, a feeder takes 3-phase power to two equipment at the other end via cable and trans- former with the combined series impedance Z = 0.04 + j 0.09 N per phase. The voltage at receiving end point A rises and falls as a large 3-phase, 500 kVA load at point A varies over time. The small 1 kVA load, also connected at point A, remains online continuously, and must accommodate the voltage variations at point A with the 500 kVA load fully on or fully off. Determine the voltage range that the 1 kVA load will see, over which it must perform within its specifications.
