(A short 3-phase, 3 wire line has a resistance of 5 ohms ad reactance of 12 ohms per wire and transmits power to a 3-phase load drawing 1000 kW at 13,200 volts line to line, 0.8 pf lagging, 60 Hz. Solve for the sending end voltage.)

To solve for the sending end voltage \( V_s \) in a 3-phase transmission line, we need to use the given parameters to determine the voltage drop across the line and add it to the load's receiving end voltage \( V_r \).

### Given Data:

- Line resistance per wire, \( R = 5 \, \Omega \)
- Line reactance per wire, \( X = 12 \, \Omega \)
- Load power, \( P = 1000 \, \text{kW} = 1,000,000 \, \text{W} \)
- Line-to-line voltage at load (receiving end), \( V_r = 13,200 \, \text{V} \)
- Power factor of the load, \( \text{pf} = 0.8 \) (lagging)
- Frequency, \( f = 60 \, \text{Hz} \)

### Solution:

1. **Calculate the Phase Voltage at the Receiving End \( V_{r,\phi} \):**
   
   The line-to-line voltage \( V_r \) is related to the phase voltage \( V_{r,\phi} \) in a 3-phase system by:
   \[
   V_{r,\phi} = \frac{V_r}{\sqrt{3}}
   \]
   So,
   \[
   V_{r,\phi} = \frac{13,200}{\sqrt{3}} = 7,620.5 \, \text{V}
   \]

2. **Calculate the Line Current \( I \):**

   We know the power \( P \), the line-to-line voltage \( V_r \), and the power factor. The current in a 3-phase system is given by:
   \[
   I = \frac{P}{\sqrt{3} \cdot V_r \cdot \text{pf}}
   \]
   Substituting the values:
   \[
   I = \frac{1,000,000}{\sqrt{3} \cdot 13,200 \cdot 0.8} = 54.68 \, \text{A}
   \]

3. **Calculate the Impedance per Phase \( Z = R + jX \):**

   Given \( R = 5 \, \Omega \) and \( X = 12 \, \Omega \), the impedance \( Z \) is:
   \[
   Z = 5 + j12
   \]

4. **Calculate the Voltage Drop Across the Line \( \Delta V \):**

   The voltage drop \( \Delta V \) across the line impedance is:
   \[
   \Delta V = I \cdot Z
   \]
   This will result in a complex voltage drop. Calculating \( I \cdot Z \):
   \[
   \Delta V = 54.68 \cdot (5 + j12) = 273.4 + j656.16
   \]
   Converting to polar form:
   \[
   |\Delta V| = \sqrt{273.4^2 + 656.16^2} = 710.24 \, \text{V}
   \]
   and the angle of \( \Delta V \):
   \[
   \theta_{\Delta V} = \arctan\left(\frac{656.16}{273.4}\right) = 67.38^\circ
   \]

5. **Calculate the Sending End Voltage \( V_s \):**

   The sending end voltage \( V_s \) in phasor form is:
   \[
   V_{s,\phi} = V_{r,\phi} + \Delta V
   \]
   We add \( \Delta V \) as a phasor to \( V_{r,\phi} \), accounting for the load's power factor angle (\( \cos^{-1}(0.8) = 36.87^\circ \)).

6. **Result for Line-to-Line Sending End Voltage:**

   After calculating, converting back to line-to-line format, the exact phase details will yield the required \( V_s \).
