Power is generated at 24 kV at a generating plant located56 km from a town that requires 55 MW of power at12 kV. Two transmission lines from the plant to the towneach have a resistance of 0.10 Ω/km What should theoutput voltage of the transformer at the generating plant befor an overall transmission efficiency of 98.5%, assuminga perfect transformer?
