A three-phase transmission line of 160 km long has the following constants: Resistance
per km (r/km) = 0.15 Ω, inductive reactance per kilometre (x/km) = 0.6 Ω, charging
admittance per kilometre (y/km) = 8×10–6 and the receiving-end voltage = 66 kV.
Using the load-end capacitance method, calculate (i) the sending-end current (ii) the
sending-end voltage and (iii) the power factor at the sending end when the line is
delivering 15 MW at 0.8 p.f. lag.
