A large power plant generates electricity at 12.0 kV. Its old transformer once converted the voltage to 335 kV. The secondary of this transformer is being replaced so that its output can be 750 kV for more efficient cross-country transmission on upgraded transmission lines.

(a) What is the ratio of turns in the new secondary compared with the old secondary?

(b) What is the ratio of new current output to old output (at 335 kV) for the same power? (c) If the upgraded transmission lines have the same resistance, what is the ratio of new line power loss to old?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a.) Ratio of the number of turns in the new coil to that of the old coil is \(2.24\).

(b.) The ratio of new current output to old output current, for the same power, is \(0.45\).

(c.) The ratio of power loss in the two transmission lines is \(0.20\).

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

  • Input voltage:\({V_p} = 12.0\;{\rm{kV}}\)
  • Old and new Output voltages are: \({V_o} = 335\;{\rm{kV and }}{V_n} = 750\;{\rm{kV}}\)
02

Relation between the potential difference of the primary and secondary coil  

For a given number of turns in the primary and secondary coil, the ratio of voltage in the primary coil to the voltage in the secondary coil remains constant and is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the secondary coil.

03

Part- (a)

If\({V_p}\),\({N_p}\),\({I_p}\)are the input potential difference, the number of turns and the input current respectively, in the primary circuit and\({V_s}\),\({N_s}\),\({I_s}\)are the output potential difference, the number of coils and the output current respectively, in the secondary circuit. The relation between these variables is given as-

\(\frac{{{V_s}}}{{{V_p}}} = \frac{{{N_s}}}{{{N_p}}} = \frac{{{I_p}}}{{{I_s}}} \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot (1)\)

a)

For old output voltage\({V_{so}} = 335\;{\rm{kV}}\),the number of turns in the old secondary coil\(\left( {{N_{so}}} \right)\)can be calculated from equation (1) as-

\(\begin{aligned} \frac{{{V_{so}}}}{{{V_p}}} &= \frac{{{N_{so}}}}{{{N_p}}}\\\frac{{{N_{so}}}}{{{N_p}}} &= \frac{{335\;{\rm{kV}}}}{{12\;{\rm{kV}}}} \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot (2)\end{aligned}\)

For new output voltage\({V_{sn}} = 750\;{\rm{kV}}\),the number of turns in the new secondary coil\(\left( {{N_{sn}}} \right)\)can be calculated from equation (1) as-

\(\begin{aligned} \frac{{{V_{sn}}}}{{{V_p}}} &= \frac{{{N_{sn}}}}{{{N_p}}}\\\frac{{{N_{sn}}}}{{{N_p}}} &= \frac{{750\;{\rm{kV}}}}{{12\;{\rm{kV}}}} \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \left( 3 \right)\end{aligned}\)

the ratio of the number of turns in the new secondary coil\(\left( {{N_{sn}}} \right)\)to the number of turns in the old secondary coil\(\left( {{N_{so}}} \right)\)can be calculated by dividing equation (3) by equation (2).

\(\begin{aligned} \frac{{\frac{{{N_{sn}}}}{{{N_p}}}}}{{\frac{{{N_{so}}}}{{{N_p}}}}} &= \frac{{\frac{{750\;{\rm{kV}}}}{{12\;{\rm{kV}}}}}}{{\frac{{335\;{\rm{kV}}}}{{12\;{\rm{kV}}}}}}\\\frac{{{N_{sn}}}}{{{N_{so}}}} &= \frac{{750\;{\rm{kV}}}}{{335\;{\rm{kV}}}}\\ &= 2.24\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, ratio of number of turns in the new secondary coil as compared to the old secondary coil is \(2.24\).

Part- (b)

b)

For old output voltage\({V_{so}} = 335\;{\rm{kV}}\),the output current in the old secondary coil\(\left( {{I_{so}}} \right)\)can be calculated from equation (1) as-

\(\begin{aligned} \frac{{{V_{so}}}}{{{V_p}}} &= \frac{{{I_p}}}{{{I_{so}}}}\\\frac{{{I_p}}}{{{I_{so}}}} &= \frac{{335\;{\rm{kV}}}}{{12\;{\rm{kV}}}} \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot (4)\end{aligned}\)

For new output voltage\({V_{sn}} = 750\;{\rm{kV}}\),the output current in the new secondary coil\(\left( {{I_{sn}}} \right)\)can be calculated from equation (1) as-

\(\begin{aligned} \frac{{{V_{sn}}}}{{{V_p}}} &= \frac{{{I_p}}}{{{I_{sn}}}}\\\frac{{{I_p}}}{{{I_{sn}}}} &= \frac{{750\;{\rm{kV}}}}{{12\;{\rm{kV}}}} \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot (5)\end{aligned}\)

the ratio of the output current in the new secondary coil \(\left( {{I_{sn}}} \right)\) to the output current in the old secondary coil\(\left( {{I_{so}}} \right)\) can be calculated by dividing equation (4) by equation (5)\(\begin{aligned} \frac{{\frac{{{I_p}}}{{{I_{so}}}}}}{{\frac{{{I_p}}}{{{I_{sn}}}}}} &= \frac{{\frac{{335\;{\rm{kV}}}}{{12\;{\rm{kV}}}}}}{{\frac{{750\;{\rm{kV}}}}{{12\;{\rm{kV}}}}}}\\\frac{{{I_{sn}}}}{{{I_{so}}}} &= \frac{{335\;{\rm{kV}}}}{{750\;{\rm{kV}}}}\\ &= 0.45 \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \cdot \left( 6 \right)\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, ratio of output current in the new secondary coil as compared to the old secondary coil is \(0.45\).

05

Part- (c)

(c.) If the resistance of both the transmission lines, old and new, is same and is represented by\(R\), then the ratio of power loss in new line\(\left( {{P_{sn}}} \right)\)to the power loss in old line\(\left( {{P_{so}}} \right)\)is given as-

\(\begin{aligned} \frac{{{P_{sn}}}}{{{P_s}_o}} &= \frac{{{I_{sn}}^2R}}{{{I_{so}}^2R}}\\ &= \frac{{{I_{sn}}^2}}{{{I_{so}}^2}}\\ &= {\left( {\frac{{{I_{sn}}}}{{{I_{so}}}}} \right)^2}\end{aligned}\)

From equation (6), substituting the value of the ratio of currents, we get

\(\begin{aligned} \frac{{{P_{sn}}}}{{{P_s}_o}} &= {0.45^2}\\ &= 0.20\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, ratio of power loss in new line to the old line is\(0.20\).
