A singlephase transmission line supplies a reactive load at
     A single-phase transmission line supplies a reactive load at a lagging power factor. The load draws 1.2 pu current at 0.6 pu voltage while drawing 0.5 pu (true) power. If the base voltage is 20 kV and the base current is 160 A, calculate the power factor and the ohmic value of the resistance of the load. Ans. 0.694; 43.375 ohm 
  
  Solution
true power(p)=0.5 pu
vpu*ipu*cosq=0.5
cosq=0.5/(1.2*0.6)=0.694
zbase=vbasse/ibase=20000/160=125 amps
zpu=vpu/ipu=0.6/1.2=0.5
zactual=zpu*zbase=125*0.5=62.5 ohms
