Q. Do the same exercise as above with the replacement of the earlier transformer by a 40,000-220 V step-down transformer (Neglect, as before, leakage losses though this may not be a good assumption any longer because of the very high voltage transmission involved).Hence, explain why high voltage transmission is preferred?

A small town with a demand of 800 kW of electric power at 220 V is situated 15 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V.The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5

Ω

per km.The town gets power from the line through a 4000-220 V step-down transformer at a sub-station in the town.
