A large power plant generates electricity at 12.0 kV. Its old transformer once converted the voltage to 330 kV. The secondary of this transformer is being replaced so that its output can be 775 kV for more efficient cross-country transmission on upgraded transmission lines. If the power output is 1,000 MW and line resistance is 2.30 0, what are the old and new line power losses (in MW)? old line losses MW new line losses MW
