SOLVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:
1. A single phase transmission line 90 km is made up of hard drawn copper 500 mils
in diameter. If the resistivity of the hard drawn copper at 20°C is 1.77x10¯ ⁸ ohm-
meter. Determine the loop resistance at 20°C .
2. A 345 kV transmission line has two bundled conductor per phase, spaced 18
inches horizontally. The conductor used in the bundle has a self GMD of 0.0403 ft.
If the phases are spaced 15.5 ft apart, what is the self GMR of the bundled
conductor.
3. A transmission line has a reactance of 0.486 ohm per km. GMR is 2 cm and
conductor spacing is horizontal such that D ab = D, Dbc = D and Dca = 2D. Find the
spacing D.
4. A 230 kV, 60Hz, 3-phase completely transposed overhead line has one ACSR 954-
kcmil (or 564 mm2) conductor per phase and flat horizontal phase spacing, with
8m between adjacent conductors. Determine the inductance in H/m and the
inductive reactance in ohm/km.
