Question

A 2-wire d.c distributor WX is fed from both ends. At feeding point, W, the voltage is maintained as at 240V and at X 235V. The total length of the distributor is (223 meters) and loads are tapped off as under:

50 A at 65 meters from W; 25 A at 95 meters from W

40 A at 125 meters from W; 30 A at 140 meters from W

The resistance per kilometer of per conductor is of 0.28Ω. Draw the labelled diagrams and Calculate:

(i) Currents in various sections of the distributor

(ii) Minimum voltage and the point at which it occurs
