SECTION-B
2. What is a composite conductor? Derive the expression of inductance of 1-phase
transmission line with composite conductors.
3. What do you understand by the term ?String Efficiency?? What are the various methods
of improving string efficiency of insulators? Discuss these methods.
4. State Kelvin?s law. What are the limitations of this law?
5. Compare : Overhead lines and Underground cables.
6. A transmission line conductor at a river crossing is supported from two towers at height
of 50 and 75 metres above water level. The horizontal distance between the towers is
280m. If the tension in the conductor is 2000kg, find the clearance between the conductor
and water at a point midway between the towers. Weight of conductor per metre
= 0.844kg. Assume that the conductor takes the shape of parabolic curve.
SECTION-C
7. Derive the expression of capacitance of 3-phase double circuit line with conductors
placed at the corners of a regular hexagon of side D. Assume conductor. Radius as r.
What is the effect of earth on the capacitance? Justify.
8. Compare the following :
a) Overhead and Underground distribution systems.
b) Synchronous phase modifier and Capacitor.
9. a) What are the various methods of laying the cables? Discuss these methods, in detail.
b) A 220km long 3 phase overhead line has a resistance of 42 Ohms/phase, inductive
reactance of 80 Ohms/phase and capacitance (line to neutral) 8.2nF/km. It supplies a
load of 12MW at a voltage of 66kV and power factor 0.95 lagging. Using Nominal-T
circuit, find : (a) the sending end voltage, (b) current, (c) regulation, (d) efficiency
and (e) power angle.
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
