0. A load, situated 110 m away from its supply, draws 22 A from a 240 V supply. The maxi permissible voltage drop between the point of supply and the load must not exceed \( 5 \% \) supply voltage.

The Deep Dive
To find the diameter of the conductors, we first need to calculate the maximum permissible voltage drop. The supply voltage is 240 V, so 5% of that is \( 0.05 \times 240 = 12 \) V. Since the load draws 22 A, we can use Ohm's law to find the resistance that correlates to this voltage drop. Using the formula \( V = I \times R \), we can rearrange it to find R: \[ R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{12 \text{ V}}{22 \text{ A}} = 0.545 \, \Omega. \] Now, with a distance of 110 m, the total resistance for a single conductor would be halved, since it needs to go to and return from the load: \[ R_{total} = 2 \times R_{conductor}. \] Using the given resistivity \( 0.027 \, \mu \Omega \mathrm{~m} = 0.027 \times 10^{-6} \Omega \mathrm{~m} \), we can express the resistance of the wire as: \[ R_{conductor} = \frac{\rho \times L}{A}, \] where \( L \) is the length of one conductor (110 m) and \( A \) is the cross-sectional area. Setting \( 0.545 \, \Omega = \frac{0.027 \times 10^{-6} \times 110}{A} \) allows us to solve for \( A \): \[ A = \frac{0.027 \times 10^{-6} \times 110}{0.545} \approx 0.0054 \, m^2. \] Finally, using the area \( A \), we can find the diameter \( d \) using the formula for the area of a circle \( A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} \): \[ d = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}} \approx \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 0.0054}{\pi}} \approx 0.083 \, m \text{ or } 83 \, mm. \] Thus, the diameter of the conductors needed is approximately **83 mm**.
