Homework 3
Problem 1. A 60-Hz single-phase, two-wire overhead line has solid cylindrical copper conductors with 1.5 cm di-
ameter. The conductors are arranged in a horizontal configuration with 0.5 m spacing. Calculate in mH/km:
a) The inductance of each conductor due to internal flux linkages only.
b) The inductance of each conductor due to both internal and external flux linkages.
The inductance for each conductor due to both internal and external flux linkages is given by (4.4.21):

• A 20% increase in phase spacing results in a 3.4% decrease in shunt capacitance and admittance.
• A 20% decrease in phase spacing results in a 4.4% increase in shunt capacitance and admittance.
