Assignment 2 Switchgear and Protection

1. Show that when a single line-to-ground fault occurs in an ungrounded system, the neutral shift
is equal to the zero-sequence voltage, and voltage of the healthy lines with respect to the
ground is equal to the line-voltage.
2. Discuss the resistance grounding principle.
3. Explain what happens if a lightning hit the ground wire of a transmission tower.
4. Discuss the importance of the low value of tower footing resistance in preventing back
flashover.
5. What do you mean by “Insulation Co-Ordination”? Explain Basic Impulse Insulation Level (BIL).
6. A 33 kV, 3 phase 50 Hz, overhead line 60 km long has a capacitance to ground of each line
equal to 0.015 mF per km. Determine the inductance and kVA rating of the Peterson coil.
7. A 50 Hz overhead line has the line to ground capacitance of 1.2 micro Farad. It is decided to
use a ground-fault neutralizer. Determine the reactance to neutralise the capacitance of (i)
100% of the length of the line, (ii) 95% of the length of the line, and (iii) 80% of the length of
the line.
8. Write short notes on Klydonograph and magnetic link.
9. Derive the expression for Restriking Voltage without any approximations.
10. Classify the CBs in terms of voltage rating.
11. How can a ZnO based Surge Arrester protects a transformer from a lightning strike to a
transmission line.
12.

Above Figure shows a step-down transformer connecting a 69 kV and a 13.8 kV bus. The transformer
has 12% reactance and 1% resistance on a 30 MVA base. Its effective capacitance on the LV. side is
11,000 pF. The impedance of the supply is negligible.

A fault on the L.V. bus is interrupted by opening the circuit breaker (CB). What will be the peak TRV of
the circuit breaker? How soon after current interruption will it occur? Assume a symmetrical fault
current. Do not waste time solve this problem formally. Use some engineering judgment.
