2.5. A bundled conductor line has four conductors per bundle. The four sub-conductors are placed at the<br />

corners of square of side 25 cm. The diameter of each sub-conductor is 3.146 cm. ind GMR of this<br />

configuration.<br />

Ans. 12.826 cm<br />

2.6. A single phase 35 km long transmission line consists of two solid round conductors, each having a<br />

radius of 4.5 mm. The conductor spacing is 2.5 m. Calculate the equivalent radius of a fictitious<br />

hollow, thin-walled conductor having the same equivalent inductance as the original line. What is<br />

the value of the inductance per conductor?<br />

Ans. 3.5 mm, 46 mH.<br />

2.7. A telephone line runs parallel to an untransposed three-phase transmission line as shown in<br />

ig. 2.35. The power line carries balanced current of 400 Amp per phase. ind the mutual inductance<br />

between the circuits and calculate the voltage induced in the telephone line. Assume f = 50 Hz.<br />

ig. 2.35<br />

Ans. 4.4 × 10 –3 140° mH/km , 0.553 140° V/km .<br />

2.8. Calculate the loop inductance per km of a single phase line comprising of two parallel conductors<br />

1 m apart and 0.5 cm in radius, when the material of conductor is (i) copper and (ii) steel of relative<br />

permeability 50.<br />

Ans. (i) 2.22 mH/km; (ii) 7.12 mH/km<br />

2.9. ig. 2.36 shows a single phase double circuit<br />

transmission line. Conductors a and b are in<br />

parallel form one path while conductors a¢ and b<br />

¢ are in parallel form the return path. The current<br />

is equally shared by the two parallel lines.<br />

Compute the total inductance per km of the line.<br />

The radius of each conductor is 1.0 cm.<br />

ig. 2.36<br />

Ans. 1.42 mH/km<br />

2.10. ig. 2.37 shows a double circuit three phase transmission line. Diameter of each conductor is 4 cm.<br />

Determine the inductance per km per phase.<br />

ig. 2.37<br />

Ans. 0.617 mH/km<br />

2.11. A single overhead conductor 1.956 cm diameter is mounted 6.705 m above the ground. Derive an<br />

expression for the inductance and calculate the value per km.<br />

Ans. 1.492 mH/km<br />

2.12. A three phase transmission line having conductor radius 1.25 cm and spaced 3 m apart in a<br />

horizontal plane. Determine the inductance of each conductor (line to neutral).<br />

Ans. LA = (1.22 – j 0.12) mH/km; LB = 1.14 mH/km<br />

LC = (1.22 + j 0.12) mH/km
