8-Questions
1. A 60-Hz single-phase, two-wire overhead line has solid cylindrical
copper conductors with 1.5 cm diameter. The conductors are arranged in
a horizontal configuration with 0.5 m spacing. Calculate in mH/km
a. the inductance of each conductor due to internal flux linkages only,
b. the inductance of each conductor due to both internal and external
flux linkages, and
c. the total inductance of the line.

2. A single-phase overhead transmission line consists of two solid


aluminum conductors having a radius of 2.5 cm, with a spacing 3.6 m
between centers.
a. Determine the total line inductance in mH/m.
b. Given the operating frequency to be 60 Hz, find the total inductive
reactance of the line in Ω /km and in Ω/mi.
c. If the spacing is doubled to 7.2 m, how does the reactance change?

3. Determine the GMR of each of the unconventional


stranded conductors shown in Fig. 1. All strands
have the same radius r.

4. The conductor configuration of a bundled single-phase overhead


transmission line is shown in Fig. 2.
Line X has its three conductors situated at the corners of an
equilateral triangle with 10-cm spacing. Line Y has its three conductors
arranged in a horizontal configuration with 10-cm spacing.
All conductors are identical, solid cylindrical conductors, each
with a radius of 2 cm.

Determine the equivalent representation in terms of the geometric mean


radius (GMR) of each bundle and a separation that is the geometric
mean distance (GMD)

5. A three-phase transposed line is composed of one ACSR 1,431,000 cmil,


47/7 Bobolink conductor per phase with flat horizontal spacing of 11
meters as shown in Fig. 3. The conductors have a diameter of 3.625 cm
and a GMR of 1.439 cm.

Fig. 3

The line is to be replaced by a three-conductor bundle of ACSR 477,000


cmil, 26/7 Hawk conductors having the same cross-sectional area of
aluminum as the single-conductor line. The conductors have a diameter
of 2.1793 cm and a GMR of 0.8839 cm. The new line will also have a
flat horizontal configuration, but it is to be operated at a higher voltage
and therefore the phase spacing is increased to 14 m as measured from
the center of the bundles as shown in Figure 40.

Policy for Copying Homework, Plagiarism and Other Forms of


Cheating:
Individual assessments are meant to be your own work. Copying from someone else’s
work is plagiarism. (will get zero right away).

 Do not allow or give your work to anyone else to submit as their own. This is
collusion which is considered academic misconduct.
 Please BE clean and neat when writing and keep one equals sign per line and
keep track of units.
 Write your name, due date, homework set (for example HW-4) on upper right.
 You should identify the final answer when you are done solving the problem.
 Please do NOT e-mail in your assignment unless you clear it with me first. You
should submit it on the Blackboard (BB).
 Homework is due on time. When homework is due, I will post answers (one-day
after) to the class on the BB. Late homework after that won't be accepted.
 The real payoff of doing homework is learning how to do the problems, because
85-90% of your grade will be based on performance on quizzes and tests.
