1 MW power is to be delivered from a power station to a town 10 km away. One uses a pair of Cu wires of radius 0.5 cm for this purpose. Calculate the fraction of ohmic losses to power transmitted if
- power is transmitted at 220 V. Comment on the feasibility of doing this.
- a step-up transformer is used to boost the voltage to 11000 V, power transmitted, then a step-down transfomer is used to bring voltage to 220 V. (ρCu = 1.7 × 10–8 SI unit)

उत्तर
i. When power is transmitted at 220 V.
Power lost in transmission P = I2R
| P = VI |
P = 1 MV = 106 W
V = 220 Volt
`I = P/V = 1000000/220`
`I = 50000/11 A`
| R = `ρ I/A` |
⇒ R = `(ρl)/(pir^2)`
I = 10 km × 2 = 20,000 M
∴ A = πr2
r = 0.5 cm = 0.5 cm × 10–2 = 5 × 10–3 cm
ρCu = 1.7 × 10–8 Ωm
R = `(ρI)/A`
∴ R = `(1.7 xx 10^-8 xx 20,000)/(3.14 xx 5 xx 10^-3 xx 5 xx 10^-3)`
= `(170 xx 20000 xx 10^(-8+6))/(314 xx 5 xx 5)`
= `(170 xx 20000)/(314 xx 25 xx 100)` Ω
R = `(170 xx 800)/(314 xx 100) = (170 xx 4)/157 = 680/157` ≅ 4Ω
∴ Power loss = I2R
= `50000/11 xx 50000/11 xx 4 = (100 xx 10^8)/121 = 8.26 xx 10^7`
Power loss in heating = 82.6 MW
As 82.6 MW > 1 MW
So this method cannot be used to transmit the power.
ii. When power is transmitted at 11000 V
P = 106 W
VI = 1000000
11000 I = 1000000
`I = 1000000/11000 = 1000/11`
∴ RCu = 4Ω as already calculated in part (i)
∴ Power loss = P = I2R
P = `1000/11 xx 1000/11 xx 4 = 4000/121 xx 4^4`
P = `3.3 xx 10^4` Watt
Fractional power loss = `(3.3 xx 10^4)/10^6 = 3.3/1000` = 0.033
Power loss in 3.3%

A group of students while coming from the school noticed a box marked "Danger H.T. 2200 V" at a substation in the main street. They did not understand the utility of a such a high voltage, while they argued, the supply was only 220 V. They asked their teacher this question the next day. The teacher thought it to be an important question and therefore explained to the whole class.
Answer the following questions:
(i) What device is used to bring the high voltage down to low voltage of a.c. current and what is the principle of its working ?
(ii) Is it possible to use this device for bringing down the high dc voltage to the low voltage? Explain
(iii) Write the values displayed by the students and the teacher.

Read the following paragraph and answer the question:
Long distance power transmissions
The large-scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped up. It is then transmitted over long distances to an area sub-station near the consumers. There the voltage is stepped down. It is further stepped down at distributing sub-stations and utility poles before a power supply of 240 V reaches our homes.
If the secondary coil has a greater number of turns than the primary, ______.
A transformer is essentially an a.c. device. It cannot work on d.c. It changes alternating voltages or currents. It does not affect the frequency of a.c. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction. A transformer essentially consists of two coils of insulated copper wire having different numbers of turns and wound on the same soft iron core.
The number of turns in the primary and secondary coils of an ideal transformer is 2000 and 50 respectively. The primary coil is connected to a main supply of 120 V and secondary coil is connected to a bulb of resistance 0.6 Ω.
