Calculate the current needed to carry the 2 000 MW generated at alarge power station if the distribution voltage is kept at 22 kV, thegenerator output voltage.

Given data
*The given power is P = 2000 MW = 2000 × 10^6 W
*The given distribution voltage is V = 22 kV = 22 × 10^3 V
The formula for the current needed to carry the 2000 MW generated at a large power station is given as
[tex]I=\frac{P}{V}[/tex]Substitute the known values in the above expression as
[tex]\begin{gathered} I=\frac{2000\times10^6}{22\times10^3} \\ =90.90\times10^3\text{ A} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the current needed to carry the 2000 MW generated at a large power station is I = 90.90 × 10^3 A
