Solution

To solve this problem, we will use the per unit system and the transformer ratings as base quantities.

(a) The voltage at the transformer primary terminals:

First, we need to calculate the per unit impedance of the transformer and the feeder.

The base impedance (Zbase) on the primary side of the transformer is given by Vbase^2 / Sbase, where Vbase is the base voltage and Sbase is the base power.

So, Zbase = (2400)^2 / 50000 = 115.2 ohms.

The per unit impedance of the transformer (Zpu_t) is then the transformer impedance divided by the base impedance.

So, Zpu_t = (1.0 + j2.5) / 115.2 = 0.0087 + j0.0217.

Similarly, the per unit impedance of the feeder (Zpu_f) is (1.0 + j2.0) / 115.2 = 0.0087 + j0.0174.

The total per unit impedance (Zpu_total) is the sum of Zpu_t and Zpu_f, which is 0.0174 + j0.0391.

The per unit voltage at the primary terminals of the transformer (Vpu_t) is given by 1 - Ipu * Zpu_total, where Ipu is the per unit current.

Since the transformer is delivering rated total power at 0.8 power factor lagging, Ipu = 1 * 0.8 - j1 * 0.6.

So, Vpu_t = 1 - (0.8 - j0.6) * (0.0174 + j0.0391) = 0.970 - j0.027.

The actual voltage at the transformer primary terminals is then Vpu_t * Vbase = (0.970 - j0.027) * 2400 = 2328 - j64.8 V.

(b) The voltage at the sending end of the feeder:

The per unit voltage at the sending end of the feeder (Vpu_s) is given by Vpu_t + Ipu * Zpu_f.

So, Vpu_s = (0.970 - j0.027) + (0.8 - j0.6) * (0.0087 + j0.0174) = 0.977 - j0.044.

The actual voltage at the sending end of the feeder is then Vpu_s * Vbase = (0.977 - j0.044) * 2400 = 2344.8 - j105.6 V.

(c) The real and reactive power delivered to the sending end of the feeder:

The per unit power (Spu) is given by Vpu_s * Ipu*.

So, Spu = (0.977 - j0.044) * (0.8 - j0.6) = 0.7816 - j0.5864.

The actual power is then Spu * Sbase = (0.7816 - j0.5864) * 50000 = 39080 - j29320 VA.

So, the real power is 39080 W and the reactive power is -29320 VAR.
