Chapter 29, Problem 60GP
Power is generated at 24 kV at a generating plant located 85 km from a town that requires 65 MW of power at 12 kV. Two transmission lines from the plant to the town each have a resistance of 0.10 Ω/km. What should the output voltage of the transformer at the generating plant be for an overall transmission efficiency of 98.5%, assuming a perfect transformer?
