Math Problem Statement

(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.)

Solution

To solve for the sending end voltage VsV_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 VrV_r.

Given Data:

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

Solution:

  1. Calculate the Phase Voltage at the Receiving End Vr,ϕV_{r,\phi}:

    The line-to-line voltage VrV_r is related to the phase voltage Vr,ϕV_{r,\phi} in a 3-phase system by: Vr,ϕ=Vr3V_{r,\phi} = \frac{V_r}{\sqrt{3}} So, Vr,ϕ=13,2003=7,620.5VV_{r,\phi} = \frac{13,200}{\sqrt{3}} = 7,620.5 \, \text{V}

  2. Calculate the Line Current II:

    We know the power PP, the line-to-line voltage VrV_r, and the power factor. The current in a 3-phase system is given by: I=P3VrpfI = \frac{P}{\sqrt{3} \cdot V_r \cdot \text{pf}} Substituting the values: I=1,000,000313,2000.8=54.68AI = \frac{1,000,000}{\sqrt{3} \cdot 13,200 \cdot 0.8} = 54.68 \, \text{A}

  3. Calculate the Impedance per Phase Z=R+jXZ = R + jX:

    Given R=5ΩR = 5 \, \Omega and X=12ΩX = 12 \, \Omega, the impedance ZZ is: Z=5+j12Z = 5 + j12

  4. Calculate the Voltage Drop Across the Line ΔV\Delta V:

    The voltage drop ΔV\Delta V across the line impedance is: ΔV=IZ\Delta V = I \cdot Z This will result in a complex voltage drop. Calculating IZI \cdot Z: ΔV=54.68(5+j12)=273.4+j656.16\Delta V = 54.68 \cdot (5 + j12) = 273.4 + j656.16 Converting to polar form: ΔV=273.42+656.162=710.24V|\Delta V| = \sqrt{273.4^2 + 656.16^2} = 710.24 \, \text{V} and the angle of ΔV\Delta V: θΔV=arctan(656.16273.4)=67.38\theta_{\Delta V} = \arctan\left(\frac{656.16}{273.4}\right) = 67.38^\circ

  5. Calculate the Sending End Voltage VsV_s:

    The sending end voltage VsV_s in phasor form is: Vs,ϕ=Vr,ϕ+ΔVV_{s,\phi} = V_{r,\phi} + \Delta V We add ΔV\Delta V as a phasor to Vr,ϕV_{r,\phi}, accounting for the load's power factor angle (cos1(0.8)=36.87\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 VsV_s.
