(b) A transmission line conductor crossing a river is supported from two towers at
heights of 30 m and 80 m above the water level. The horizontal distance between the
towers is 450 m. If the tension in the conductor is 1500 kg and weight of conductor is 1.4
kg/m length, find the minimum clearance of the conductor and water and clearance mid-
way between the supports.

(b) A 66 kV, 3 phase system uses a single core cable of conductor diameter 2 cm
and lead sheath of diameter 5.3 cm. Two intersheaths of diameter 3.1cm and 4.2 cm are
introduced between the core and lead sheath. If the maximum stress in the layers is the
same, find the voltages on intersheaths

Que6 a) Derive the expression for Critical Disruptive Voltage and Corona Loss.
b) A 3-Phase, 220 kV, 50Hz transmission line consists of 30 mm diameter conductor
spaced 2.5 m apart in the form of an equilateral triangle. If the temperature is 38° C and
atmospheric pressure is 76 cm, calculate the corona loss per km of the line.
