Esau Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 A generator has a terminal voltage of 440 volts and produces 85.3 amperes. Calculate: (a) power output in watts ( power output in kilowatts © If the transmission lines to the user are 85% efficient,how much power is lost in transmission?

Guest Low Roller Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Knowing that V=IR, we get: 440V=85.3A/R, therefore R= 440/85.3= 5.16 Ohms. Also, P=V^2/R Therefore P= 440^2/5.16= 37,519W or 37.52kW If the lines are 85% efficient, then 15% is lost. 15% of 37.52kW is 5.3kW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
