Tutorial#1

The document contains two questions regarding transmission line calculations. Question 1 asks the reader to calculate the voltage and current in a cable junction given the line parameters and a surge entering from an overhead line. Question 2 gives the parameters of an overhead transmission line that branches into two lines, and asks the reader to calculate the voltage and current waves that will enter the branches given a travelling wave on the main line.

Question # 1
An overhead line for which L = 1.5 mH/km and C = 0.015 µF/km is connected to a cable for which L
= 0.25 mH/km and C = 0.45 µF/km. If a surge of 10 kV originates in the line and enters the cable at
the junction j, calculate the voltage and current in the cable.

V1= 10 kV

Question # 2
An overhead transmission line having a surge impedance of 450 ohms runs between two substations A
and B; at B it branches into two lines C and D, of surge impedances 400 and 50 ohms respectively. If
a travelling wave of vertical front and magnitude 25 kV travels along the line AB, calculate the
magnitude of the voltage and current waves which enter the branches at C and D.

Incident voltage = V1 =25 kV


Incident current = I1 = E1/Z1 = 25000/450 = 55.6 A
Transmitted voltage along BC and BD
Z 2  Z 3 400  50
Z 23  Z 2 // Z 3    44.44 
Z 2  Z 3 400  50
2Z 23 2  44.44
V2  V1  V1  4.5 kV
Z 1  Z 23 450  44.44
Transmitted current along BC: I2 = V2/Z2 = 4500/400 = 11.25 A
Transmitted current along BD: I3 = V2/Z3 = 4500/50 = 90 A
Thus, the current reflected back into line AB = 90 + 11.25 – 55.6 = 45.65 A
