A 66 kV, 3-phase, 50 Hz, 150 km long overhead transmission line is open circuited at the receiving end. Each conductor has a resistance of 0.25$$\Omega $$/km, an inductive reactance of 0.5$$\Omega $$/km and a capacitive admittance to neutral of 0.04 $$ \times $$ 10-4 S/km.

(a) Draw the nominal π-equivalent circuit and indicate the value of each parameter.
(b) Calculate the receiving end voltage if the sending end voltage is 66 kV.
