An electric power plant generates electricity 22 kv and


An electric power plant generates electricity @ 22 kV and 100 A. The voltage is stepped up to 240 kV before being transmitted to a city 15 km away over a copper wire that has a radius of 2 mm. Energy is lost in heating the wire during transmission. If the transformer is 95% efficient, and the price of electricity is 15¢/kWh, How much money is saved per day by stepping the voltage up instead of transmitting it at the original voltage?
