Course Name: EHVAC and HVDC Transmission

These questions are important but students should refer extended Question bank
that I uploaded earlier to prepare for the Examination.

1. Explain the Necessity of EHVAC transmission.


2. What is critical disruptive voltage?
3. Describe the types of MTDC system
4. List the order of harmonics of filter branches
5. What are the various types of HVDC circuit breakers?
6. Prove that the percentage power loss in EHVAC transmission line is independent of its length and it depends on
the ratio of conductor resistance to the positive sequence reactance per unit length.
7. Explain and derive cosine law of variation of surface voltage gradient of bundled conductors
8. A power of 2000mw is to be transmitted from Chandrapur thermal power station to Western part of Maharashtra
over a distance of 800km. Use 400kV and 750kV transmission system for it. Calculate number of circuits with
40% series capacitor compensation and also calculate the total power loss. Assume δ=30º and values of 'x' and
'r' as given below:
System (kv) 400 750
x Ω/km 0.327 0.272
r Ω/km 0.031 0.0136
