7. Explain the physical significance of the generalized ABCD constants of a transmission line.
State the units of these constants. Determine these constants for medium transmission line
with nominal-T configuration. Draw neatly corresponding vector diagram. 14
8. Write short notes on any two of the following: 7×2=14
(a) Self GMD & Mutual GMD
(b) Corona loss in transmission line.
(c) Lightning Arresters & Surge Absorber.
9. (a) A three-phase, 50 Hz, 16 Km long overhead line supplies 1000 kW at 11 kV, 0.8 p.f. lagging.
The line resistance is 0.03 ohm per phase per km and line inductance is 0.7 mH per phase per
km. Calculate the sending end voltage, voltage regulation and efficiency of transmission line.
