For transmission of power over a distance of 200 km, the transmission voltage should be_________kv?
Correct answer: A. 132 kV
- A. 132 kV
- B. 66 kV
- C. 33 kV
- D. 11 kV
Explanation
For a transmission distance of about 200 km, 132 kV is a typical suitable voltage level. The higher voltage keeps current and I²R losses within practical limits over the long line.
