Problem 1. Consider the diagram of a balanced three phase system in Fig. 1, with the
following equipment ratings: Note that the generators are connected to the primary of the
Generator G1 50 MVA, 13.2 kV, x=0.15 p.u.
Generator G2 20 MVA, 13.2 kV, x=0.1 p.u.
3 − φ ∆ − Y transformer T1 80 MVA, 13.2/165 kV, x=0.08 p.u.
3 − φ ∆ − Y transformer T2 40 MVA, 13.2/165 kV, x=0.1 p.u.

transformers. Choose a base power of 100 MVA. Draw the per-phase equivalent circuit of
the system showing all impedance and load in per unit systems.

Problem 3. Figure 2 shows the one-line diagram of a three phase power system. We select
the power base to be 100 MVA. Draw the diagram showing all impedances in per-unit. The
data are given below: Line 1 and line 2 have series reactances of 48.4 and 65.4 Ω, respectively.
Problem 5. A single phase line is 70 km long. It should not exceed a loss of 65 kW while
carrying 100 A of current. Compute required conductor diameter if the resistivity of the
material is 1.72 µΩ − cm.
Problem 6. A single-phase overhead transmission line consists of two solid conductors hav-
ing a radius of 3 cm, with a spacing 3.5 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 m, how does
the reactance change? The value of µ0 is 4π · 10−7 H/m.
