A small town with a demand of 1 MW at 220 V is situated 20 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V. The resistance of two line wires carrying is `0.5 Omega` per km. Two step down transformers are available : 4000 V - 220 V and 100000 V - 220 V at a substationin the town for supply of power. Which one will you prefer and why?
