A. True
B. False

2. If a line is considered with negligible power losses, then the real power transmitted will be proportional to ______ and the reactive power drop is proportional to ____
A. sinδ, voltage drop across line
B. cosδ, voltage drop across line
C. δ, voltage drop across line
D. voltage drop across line, sinδ

3. Choose the most feasible method for raising the power to be delivered at the reactive end.
(i)Reducing the line reactance
(ii)Raising the voltage level
A. (i)
B. (ii)
C. (i), (ii)
D. None of the methods

Answer: A
Clarification: Increasing the voltage level is not always economical and reducing the voltages at stations is easier.

A. voltage,δ
B. δ, voltage
C. voltage, sinδ
D. voltage drop, cos δ

Answer: A
Clarification: The lagging reactive power delivered by a line is proportional to the line voltage and independent of δ.

5. Assume a 275 kV transmission line having the following line constants:A = 0.8∠5° ; B = 200∠75°
For obtaining 275 kV voltage at the receiving end obtaining unity power factor, the power transmitted will be _____________
A. 124 MW
B. 117.2 MW
C. 116 MW
D. 110 MW

Answer: A
Clarification: Qr = 0
0=(275*275)/200 sin⁡(75-δ)-0.8/200 sin⁡(75-5)
0=378sin⁡(75-δ)-284.26
δ=26.23°
Pr = (275*275)/200 cos⁡(75-δ)-0.8/200 cos⁡(75-5)
= 124 MW.

6. Assume a 275 kV transmission line having the following line constants:A = 0.8∠5° ; B = 200∠75°
For obtaining 275 kV voltage at the receiving end obtaining unity power factor, the power angle required to be set as __________
A. 26.23°
B. 22°
C. 25°
D. 24°

Answer: A
Clarification: Qr = 0
0=(275*275)/200 sin⁡(75-δ)-0.8/200 sin⁡(75-5)
0=378sin⁡(75-δ)-284.26
δ=26.23°.

7. Assume a 275 kV transmission line having the following line constants:A = 0.8∠5° ; B = 200∠75°
If a load is connected at receiving end at unity power factor but maintaining the same voltage profile. Will this system now need any type of compensation?
A. Yes
B. No
C. Cannot be said
D. Never

Answer: A
Clarification: Yes this system will require a compensation system to be employed as the net reactive power will not be zero due to the load mentioned.

8. Assume a 275 kV transmission line having the following line constants:A = 0.8∠5° ; B = 200∠75°
