Explanation / Answer

Total impedanc from souce to load=42.12+150.5j ohms (Adding transformer series impedance and feeder impedance

Impedance magntiude =156.2829 = abs(z)

The total active power trasnferred    (= Vs*Vr*sin(lpha) / abs(Z))   

Assuming a infinte power bus at source,

Phase at source =0

Phase at load= cosinvers(0.85) =31.7883

alpha = (31.7883-0)=relative phase difference

P=9.5*1000=Vs*2400*sin(31.7883)/156.2829

Solving for Vs =9.5*1000*156.2829/(2400*sin(31.7883)) = 1174.3 V

Here i think the power trasmitted cannot be 95 kw as the KVA rating of transormer is just 10 KVA.Assuming the load is 9.5 kw the solution is obtained

B. V.R = I*Re*Cos(alpha)/ Vs+I*Xe*sin(alpha)/Vs

I = 2400-1174.3/ abs(z)

=4.3124 A

V.R=4.3142(42*cos(31..7883)+150*sin(31.7883))/(1174.3)

=0.4214= 42.14%

C. Losses = I*I * Req= (4.3124*4.3124)*(42.12)=783.296 w

Efficiecny = o/p power/ (I/P power+ losses)=95/(95+0.7832)=0.9918

=99.182 %

Only copper losses are considered as there is no data on other losses
