Concept Question: Residential Transformer If the transformer in the can looks like the picture, how is it connected? 1. House=Left, Line=Right 2. Line=Left, House=Right 3. I don t know 25
Answer: Residential Transformer Answer: 1. House on left, line on right The house needs a lower voltage, so we step down to the house (fewer turns on house side) 26
Transmission of Electric Power Power loss can be greatly reduced if transmitted at high voltage 27
Example: Transmission lines An average of 120 kw of electric power is sent from a power plant. The transmission lines have a total resistance of 0.40 Ω. Calculate the power loss if the power is sent at (a) 240 V, and (b) 24,000 V. (a) 5 I = P 1.2 10 W = V 2.4 10 2 V = 500A 83% loss!! P L = I 2 R = (500A) 2 (0.40Ω) = 100kW (b) I = P 5 V = 1.2 105 W 2.4 10 4 V = 5.0 A P L = I 2 R = (5.0 A) 2 (0.40Ω) = 10W 0.0083% loss 28
Transmission lines We just calculated that I 2 R is smaller for bigger voltages. What about V 2 /R? Isn t that bigger? Why doesn t that matter? 29
