Loop Resistance of Copper Conductor

The document contains a tutorial with four problems related to electrical transmission lines. It covers calculations for loop resistance at different temperatures, capacitance and capacitive reactance for a 3-phase line, inductance for a 3-phase line, and inductive and capacitive reactance for a three-phase line with specific conductor arrangements. The problems involve the use of standard values and conversions for units.

Tutorial 2

1. A single-phase transmission line, 50 km long, is made up of a hard-drawn copper


conductor 1.27 cm in diameter. Find the loop resistance at (a) 20° C, and (b) 80
°C. Take the resistivity and temperature coefficient of the copper at 20° C to be
1.77 𝜇Ω ∙ 𝑐𝑚 and 0.00382 C-1.

2. A 3 phase 50 Hz transmission line has its conductors arranged in a triangular


formation so that two of the distances between conductors are 30 ft and the third
is 50 ft. The conductors are ACSR Osprey. Determine the capacitance to neutral
in microfarads per mile and the capacitive reactance to neutral in ohm miles. If
the line is 150 miles long, find the capacitance to neutral and capacitive reactance
of the line. From standard table, GMR=0.0284 ft (convert this into meters),
outside diameter of each conductor is 0.879 inches (convert this into meters).

3. Determine the inductance of a 3-phase line operating at 50 Hz and conductors


arranged as given in figure. The conductor’s diameter is 1 cm.

4. Find the inductive reactance per phase in ohm /m and the capacitive reactance to
neutral in ohm-m for a three-phase line that has equilaterally spaced conductors
of ACSR ‘Dove. The distance between lines of various phases is 4 m and the
operating frequency is 50 Hz. From standard table, Dove GMR = 0.00954024 m,
Dia of Conductor = 0.02354 m.
