  1. A three phase synchronous generator delivers 10 mvA, at a voltage of 10.5 kV. The line impedance is 5Ω. What is the voltage drop in the line in per unit and in volts ? Use the reference base as 12 mVA at 11 kV.
    1. 549.36A, 1.25 kV
    2. 539.46A, 2.81 kV
    3. 549.36A, 2746.8 kV
    4. 549.36A, 2.0 kV
Correct Option: C

S = √3 VL. IL VA

∴ IL =
S
3VL

Here, S = 10 mVA = 10 × 106 VA,
VL = 10.5 kV = 10.5 × 10³V
∴ IL =
10 × 106
= 549.36 amp
3 10.5 × 10³

Iph = IL = 549.36 A
Voltage drop in the line per base = Zph. Iph
= 5 × 549.36 = 2.749 k V.
