Q17. A 2-wire distributor is 1500 m Jong and is fed at end A with 250 V d.c. and at end B with 240 V d.c. It supplies four loads: 700 A at 400 m, 600 A at 600 m, 500 A at 1000 m and 300 A at 1200 m, all distances being measured from end A. The resistance of the single conductor is 0.0 l Ω /km.

Calculate EACH of the following:

(a) The current supplied at each end of the distributor;

(b) The voltage across each load;

(c) The total power supplied.
