Now resistance of copper conductor at 20C is per metre length when the section is
58
1 mm2.
1 20 1000
Resistance = = 3.83 ohm
58 90
10 1000
The current = = 218.68 amps
3 33 0.8
Since the capacitance is to be neglected, the receiving end current is same as the sending
end and, therefore,
the loss on the line = 3 218.682 3.83 = 0.549 MW
output 10
= = = 0.9479
output + loss 10 + 0.549
To determine the voltage regulation we determine the sending end voltage
Vs = (Vr cos r + IrR) + j(Vr sin r + IrX)
= (19052 0.8 + 218.68 3.83) + j(19052 0.6 + 218.68 6.65)
= 16079 + j12885
Vs = 20605 volts
Since it is a short line, the voltage regulation will be
20605 19052
% regulation = 100 = 8.15%. Ans.

Example 4.4: A 400 V, 3-phase 4-wire service mains supplies a star connected load. The
resistance of each line is 0.1 ohm and that of neutral 0.2 ohm. The load impedances are ZR
= (6 + j9), ZY = 8 ohms and ZB = (6 j8). Calculate the voltage across each load impedance and
current in the neutral. Phase sequence RYB.
Solution: Since it is a 3-phase, 4-wire system, the current in each line can be found out
considering each phase independent of each other and then we add all the three currents to
find out the current in the neutral.
Taking phase R as reference,

231(6.3 j 9.0)

IB = = = 2.23(6.3 + j8) 120
