based on ABCD constants.
SECTION-C

2 m, 2.5 m and 4.5 m. Find the inductance per km of the line when conductors are
regularly transposed. The diameter of each conductor is 1.24 cm.
b) State and prove Kelvin?s law for size of conductor for transmission. Discuss its
limitations.

shunt admittance of 0.1 ?, 0.5 ? and 3?10
?6
S per km per phase. If the line delivers
50 MW at 110 kV and 0.8 p.f. lagging, determine the sending end voltage and
current. Assume a nominal ? circuit for the line.
