- Homework Statement
- Calculate voltages on the main plant switchboard, M1 and O, power and current loads, etc.
- Relevant Equations
- I=P/sqrt(3)*U*cos(phi), Z=X*l - but I don't think this can be used here and I don't have an idea of any other equations to use
This is the first part of the problem, which I solved.
Now to the second part which I can't manage to find the equations I need to use.
Problem:
This plant is connected to a 20/0.4 kV transformer of 250 kVA power, through an XP00-A cable (4x150 mm2, IN=300 A, Z1=0.26 Ω/km).
a) Calculate voltages for the main plant switchboard and voltages on the connections to M1 and O
b) Are those voltages within the 10% tolerance?
c) Do the cables meet the real current load requirements?
d) Does the transformer meet the real power load requirement?
Cables:
Plant to transformer: 4x150 mm2, IN=300 A, Z1=0.26 Ω/km
Installation cables (M1 and O): 4x50 mm2, IN=150 A, Z2=0.705 Ω/km

This is everything I tried to do, and I don't know if any of it is right.
Do I just need to use the values I got in the first part, or what? I know of the Z=X*l equation, but I have no given length here, so I have no idea what else to use for any of this, including voltages for the switchboard and for M1 and O.
