Problems in transmission line inductance calculation

1) One circuit of a single phase transmission line is composed of 3 solid 0.25

cm radius wires. The return circuit is composed of two 0.5 cm radius wires.
The arrangement of conductors is shown in figure. Find the inductance due
to current in each side of the line and inductance of the complete line in
henrys per meter.

2) The conductor of a single phase 60 Hz line is a solid round conductor

having a diameter of 0.412 cm. The conductor spacing is 3 m. Determine the
inductance of the line in mH/mile. How much of the inductance is due to
internal flux linkage?

3) A three phase transmission line is designed to deliver 190.5 MVA at 220

kV over a distance of 63 km. The total transmission line loss is not to exceed
2.5 % of the rated line MVA. If the resistivity of the conductor is 2.84 x 10 -8
ohm-meter, determine the required conductor diameter and the conductor
size in circular mils.

4) Find the GMR of each of the unconventional conductors shown below in

terms of the radius ‘r’ of an individual strand.

5)The distance between conductors of a single phase transmission line is 10

ft. Each of its conductors is composed of 6 strands symmetrically placed
around one center strand so that there are 7 equal strands. The diameter of
each strand is 2.177 times the radius of each strand. Find the inductance of
the line in mH/mile.

6) Calculate the per phase inductance (per meter) of the 765 kV line. The
horizontal spacing is 45 ft between phases. Assume that 4 conductors per
bundle are placed at the corners of a square (with 18 inch on a side). The
diameter of conductor is 1.424 m. GMR of the conductor is 0.0479 in.
