Electric power is generated by a power plant and transmitted to a distribution station using very high

Question:

Electric power is generated by a power plant and transmitted to a distribution station using very high voltage power lines to significantly reduce power line i2R losses. From the distribution station, the electricity is reduced to lower, but still high, voltages for final distribution to commercial and residential users. A new home is being constructed that requires a 240-V ðrmsÞ voltage supply with a 200-AðrmsÞ maximum service to the home power distribution panel. The local power arriving from the distribution station is at 13:8 kV ðrmsÞ with an effective series line resistance of 5 Ω. It is necessary to design a step-down transformer to provide the necessary power. Determine the equivalent minimum home-load resistance that will ensure that the maximum current is not exceeded. Validate the design using Multisim.
