having ABCD constants.
SECTION-C
7. A single phase 50 Hz alternator supplies a load of 5000 KW at a power factor of
0.707 lag by means of an OHT line of 20 km line length. The line resistance and
inductance are 0.0195 ohm per km and 0.63 mH per km respectively. If the voltage at the
receiving end is to be kept at 10 kV. Determine :
a) Sending end voltage
b) Voltage regulation
c) Magnitude of capacitor to be placed at the load end in shunt with the load such that
regulation reduces to half of that obtained in previous part.
d) Transmission efficiency in the two cases with and without capacitor.
8. Write a short note on different types of insulators used for overhead lines and their
applications.
Deduce expression of sag for a transmission the conductor between two supports at equal
heights. What is the effect of wind on it?
9. What is reactive compensation in transmission lines? Explain various methods of series
and shunt compensation.
