Consider the following statements: The calculation performed using short line approximate model instead of nominal-π model for a medium length transmission line delivering lagging load at a given receiving end voltage always results in higher:

1. Sending end current

2. Sending end power

3. Regulation

4. Efficiency

Which of these statements are correct?

For a transmission line of capacitance is considered, then-current drawn by the line is some of the load current & capacitive current. Most of the load current is inductive, so it will be lagging.

F1 U.B 22.7.20 Pallavi D 3

The phasor diagram for the above circuit diagram would be,

F1 U.B 22.7.20 Pallavi D 4

Hence IS automatically becomes less than IR i.e. IS < IR

If no capacitance is considered for the line, then sending end current and Receiving end current will be equal, i.e. IS = IR, which means sending end current is increased.

If sending end current is an increase, then automatically sending end power is increased.
