Question-1: An overhead 3-phase transmission line delivers 5000 kW at 22 kV at 0.8 p.f. lagging. The resistance
and reactance of each conductor are 4 Ω and 6 Ω, respectively. Determine: (i) Sending end voltage
(ii) percentage regulation (iii) transmission efficiency.
Question-2: A 3-phase, 50Hz, 150 km line has a resistance, inductive reactance and capacitive shunt
admittance of 0.1 Ω, 0.5 Ω and 3 × 10−6 S per km per phase. If the line delivers 50 MW at 110 kV
and 0.8 p.f. lagging, determine the sending end voltage and current. Assume a nominal π circuit
for the line.
Question-3: Determine the efficiency and regulation of a 3-phase, 100 km, 50 Hz transmission line delivering
20 MW at a p.f. of 0.8 lagging and 66 kV to a balanced load. The conductors are of copper, each
having resistance 0.1 ohm per km, 1.5 cm outside dia, spaced equilaterally 2 metres between
centres. Neglect leakage reactance and use (i) nominal-T model.
Question-4: The generalized circuit constants of a 3-phase, 220kV rated voltage, medium-length transmission
line are:
A = D = 0.936 + j0.016 = 0.9360.98
B = 35.5 + j138 =142.076.4
C = (- 5.18+ j914) 10 -6
If the load at the receiving end is 50 MW at 220 kV with a power factor of 0.9 lagging, then find
the line-to-line sending end voltage.
Question-5: For a 400 km long transmission line, the series impedance is (0.0 + j 0.5) Ω / km and the shunt
admittance is (0.0 + j 5.0) μmho/km. Find the magnitude of the series impedance (in Ω) of the
equivalent π circuit of the transmission line.
Question-6: A single circuit 50 Hz, 3-phase long transmission line has the following parameters per km: R = 0.2
Ω, L = 1.3 mH and C = 0.01 µF. The voltage at the receiving end is 132 kV. Determine the
characteristic impedance, propagation constant, attenuation and phase constants per km of the
line.
