Solution:
Given that the transmission line is rated 500kV, 1000MVA, we will use 500kV and 1000MVA as the base values for the calculation. Please note that, since the question does not give the data about the rated MVA and rated voltage values for the generator, transformers and motor, it is assumed the given reactances for the equipment are already converted to a 500kV and ...
