11. (). Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of HVDC transmission over HVAC 8+8
transmission.
6i). A 2-wire DC distributor cable AB is 2 km long and supplies loads of 100 A, 150
A, 200 A and 50 A situated 500 m, 1000 m, 1600 m and 2000 m from the feeding
point A. Each conductor has a resistance of 0-015 Q per 1000 m. Calculate the
potential difference at each load point if a potential difference of 300 V is
maintained at point A.
12. a)). Show that the inductance per unit length of an overhead line due to internal 8+8
flux linkage is constant and is independent of size of conductor
(i). A single phase line has two parallel conductors 2 metres apart. The diameter
of each conductor is 1.2 cm. Calculate the loop inductance per km of theline
 OR
b) A 3-phase, 50 Hz, 132 kV overhead line has conductors placed in a horizontal 16
plane 4 m apart Conductor diameter is 2 cm If the line length is 100 km, calculate
the charging current per phase assuming complete transposition
13 a) A singlephase overhead transmission line delivers 1100 KW at 33 KV at 0-8 pf 16
lagging. The total resistance and inductive reactance of the line are 10 0 and 15
respectively. Determine sending end voltage, sending end power factor and
transmission efficiency
OR
b) A 100-km long, 3-phase, 50-Hz transmission line has following line 16
constants
Resistance/phase/km =0:1 ohm
Reactance/phase/km =05 ohm
Susceptance/phase/km = 10x10 S
If the line
supplies load of 20 MN at 0-9 pf lagging at 66 kV at the receiving end
calculate sending end power factor and voltage regulation
by Nominal T method.
14 a) Each conductor of a 3-phase high-voltage transmission line is suspended by a
16
string of 4 suspension type disc insulators. If the potential difference across the
second unit from top is 13 2 kV and across the third from top is 18 kV, determine
the voltage between conductors.

OR
b) A 33 kV, 50 Hz, 3-phase underground cable, 4 km long uses three single core
16
cables. Each of the conductor has a diameter of 2-5 cm and the radial thickness
of insulation is 05 Determine
cm. capacitance of the cable/phase, charging
current/phase and total charging kVAR. The relative permittivity of insulation is 3.
15 a) An overhead transmission line at a river crossing is supported from two towers
16
at heights of 40 m and 90 m above water level, the horizontal distance between
the towers being 400 m. If the maximum allowable tension is 2000
kg, find the
clearance between the conductor and water at a point mid-way between the
towers. Weight of conductor is 1 kg/m.
OR
