Figure 2.72: (b) Solution of Problem 2.72.

Solution: Refer to Fig. P2.72(b).
z1 =

Z1 50 + j50
=
= 1 + j1
Z0
50

and is at point Z-LOAD-1.

z2 =

Z2 50 j50
=
= 1 j1
Z0
50

and is at point Z-LOAD-2. Since at the junction the lines are in parallel, it is
advantageous to solve the problem using admittances. y1 is point Y -LOAD-1, which
is at 0.412 on the WTG scale. y2 is point Y -LOAD-2, which is at 0.088 on the
WTG scale. Traveling 0.300 from Y -LOAD-1 toward the generator one obtains the

input admittance for the upper feed line, point Y -IN-1, with a value of 1.97 + j1.02.
Since traveling 0.700 is equivalent to traveling 0.200 on any transmission line,
the input admittance for the lower line feed is found at point Y -IN-2, which has a
value of 1.97 j1.02. The admittance of the two lines together is the sum of their
admittances: 1.97 + j1.02 + 1.97 j1.02 = 3.94 + j0 and is denoted Y -JUNCT .
0.300 from Y -JUNCT toward the generator is the input admittance of the entire
feed line, point Y -IN, from which Z-IN is found.
Zin = zin Z0 = (1.65 j1.79) 50 = (82.5 j89.5) .
