Solution:
We ignore the LV cable impedance due to its negligible length. Since the HV cable
impedance is given in ohms and the transformer impedance is given in percent,
we must convert both either in ohms or in percent. Here we arbitrarily choose to
convert the transformer impedance in ohms based on the 120-V side. Therefore,
