A rural distribution line has the following characteristics.

*Partridge' ACSR conductors, 3q, 13.2 kV, 60 Hz, 3.0MVA, 10.2 miles long, 50°C operating

temperature. Conductor spacing is shown in Figure 2.

a. State the resistance and reactance as percentages of the base impedance. Are these

values within expectations?

b. Calculate and justify an appropriate set of ABCD two-port network coefficients.

c. Calculate the voltage regulation when a rated load with 0.85 lagging power factor is

attached at the receive end of the line.
