(c) A 2 wire dc distributor AB is fed from both ends. At the feeding point A
voltage is maintained at 240 V and at feeding point B voltage 254V. The
total length of distribution is 200 meters and load are tapped off as under:
25 A at 50 meters from A; 50 A at 75 meters from A; 30 A at 100 meters
from A; 40 A at 150 meters from A. If the resistance per km of one
conductor is 0.3 ohm. Calculate (I) The current in the various sections of
the distributor. (II) The minimum voltage and the point at it occur.

OR
Q.3 (a) Explain critical disruptive voltage. 03
(b) Explain the difference between ring and radial type distribution system. 04
(c) A single AC distributor ABCD of length 400 meter, determine the voltage
drop over the distributor if various currents tapped are as under.
(1) At point B, 100 meter from A, 100 amp at 0.707 pf lagging.
(2) At point C, 250 meter from A, 125 amp at unity pf.
(3) At point D, 400 meter from A, 80 amp at 0.8 pf lagging.
Point A is feeding point and impedance is (0.25+j0.125) per km run (go
and return)
