In a two-wire distributor ABC, C passes a load of 120 A and B passes 60 A and both have a lagging power factor of 0.8. The impedance of AB is (0.04 + i 0.08)Ω and the impedance of BC is (0.08 + i 0.12)Ω. If the voltage at the receiving end C is to be maintained at 400 V, find (1)volts at A (2)volts at B.
