or a loss less line Z C is purely resistive. Surge impedance loading (SIL) of a transmission<br />

line is defined as the power delivered by a line to purely resistive load equal in value to the<br />

surge impedance of the line. SIL is given by<br />

Example 6.7: A three phase, 50 Hz, 400 kV transmission line is 300 km long. The line inductance<br />

is 0.97 mH/km per phase and capacitance is 0.0115 m/km per phase. Assume a loss less line.<br />

Determine the line phase constant b, ZC, v and l.<br />

Solution:<br />

\ b = 0.00105 rad/km<br />
