Question 1
With reference to Table A.3, find the inductive reactance of ACSR Rail conductors in Ω/𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘
at 1𝑚𝑚 spacing.
Question 2
A three phase 60𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 line has its conductors arranged in a triangular formation so that two of
the distances between conductors are 25𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓 and the third distance is 42𝑓𝑓𝑓𝑓. The conductors
are ACSR Osprey. Determine the inductance and inductive reactance per phase per mile
using appropriate expressions. Verify the same by evaluating the inductive reactance from
Table A.3 and Table A.4.
Question 3
Calculate the inductive reactance in Ω/𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘 of a bundled 60𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 three phase line having three
ACSR Rail conductors per bundle with 45𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 spacing between conductors in a bundle. The
three phase line has flat horizontal spacing with 9𝑚𝑚 as distance between adjacent
conductors.
Question 4
A three phase 60𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 line has flat horizontal spacing. The conductors have an outside
diameter of 3.28𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 with 12𝑚𝑚 distance between conductors. The conductors are
horizontally placed 20𝑚𝑚 above the ground. Calculate the capacitive reactance to neutral in
Ω if line length is 125𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚.
Question 5
A 60𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 three phase transmission line is 175𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 long. It has a total series impedance of
(35 + 𝑗𝑗140)Ω and a shunt admittance of 𝑗𝑗930 × 10−6 Ω−1 . It delivers 40𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀 at 220𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘
with 90% power factor lagging. Find the voltage at the sending end by
a) short line approximation
b) nominal π approximation
