OBJECTIVES
On the completion of this lesson the you would
be able to
• Solve problems on A.C. radial distributor.
4. EE 504.75 4
PROBLEM:
1)The loading on a distributor is shown in fig.1 the distributor
is a two- core cable for which the resistance and
reactance are 0.25Ώ and 0.125 Ώper 1000 meters of
cable run respectively. what should be the voltage at the
point A to maintain 400Vat the point D?
13. EE 504.75 13
• Assuming all power factors referred to far end voltage
VD
voltage at D,
VD=400+j0
14. EE 504.75 14
• taking VD as reference vector
voltage at C, VC=VD+I3Z3
=(400+j0)+(40-j0)(0.0375+j0.01875)
=(401.5+j0.75)V
15. EE 504.75 15
• voltage at B, VB=Vc+(I2+I3)Z2
=(401.5+j0.75)[(10-j17.32)+(40-j0)](0.01875)
=(401.5+j0.75)+(50-j17.32)(0.0375+j0.01875)
=(403.7+j1.0380)volts
16. EE 504.75 16
• Voltage at A,VA=VB+(I1+I2+I3)Z1
=(403.7+j1.038)+[(40-j30)+(10-j17.32)
+(40-](0.025+j0.0125)
=(403.7+j0.038)+(90-j47.32)(0.025+j0.0125)
=(406.542+j0.980)
=406.542<0.14° volts

1. A two wire AC feeder is loaded as shown in fig-1.
the power factors are lagging and are referred to the
voltage at the respective load points.
The section impedance FA=0.03+j0.05 and
AB=0.05+j0.08 ohm. If the voltage at the far and is to
be maintained at 230 volt. calculate the voltage at the
supply end. (MARCH/APRIL-2005)

2. A two wire distributor 1200 meters long is loaded as
shown in fig-2. B-is the mid point .The power factors at
the two load points refer to the voltage at ’C’. The
impedances of each line is (0.15+j0.2)Ώfor 1200m.
Calculate the sending end voltage and current. the
voltage at point C is 220volts
