SECOND YEAR (SPRING SEMESTER)
TUTORIAL-4

Part-A

Question-1: Calculate the capacitance of a conductor to neutral in a single-phase transmission line having
two parallel conductors spaced 3 m apart. The diameter of each conductor is 1.2 cm

Question-2: Calculate the capacitance per phase of a three-phase three wire transposed system as shown
in Fig. when the conductors are arranged at the corners of a triangle with sides measuring 1.5
m, 2.0 m, and 2.5 m. Diameter of each conductor is 1.2 cm.

Question-3 A three-phase, three-wire 50 kV, 50 Hz overhead line conductor is placed in horizontal plane as
shown in fig The conductor diameter is 1.5 cm. If the length of the line is 100 km, calculate (i) capacitance
per phase per meter, (ii) charging current per phase.

Question-4: Calculate the capacitance per phase of a three-phase, double circuit line as shown in Fig. The
diameter of each conductor is 1.5 cm.

Question-5: Calculate the capacitance of a conductor to neutral in a single-phase transmission line having
two parallel conductors spaced 3 m apart, by considering the earth effect on capacitance, when conductors
are placed 5 m above the ground level as shown in the Fig. The diameter of each conductor is 1.2 cm.

Question-6:Calculate the capacitance per phase of a three-phase, three wire system by considering earth
effect, when the conductors are arranged in a horizontal plane with spacing 𝑫𝟏𝟐 = 𝑫𝟐𝟑 = 3.5 m , and 𝑫𝟑𝟏 =
𝟕 𝐦 as shown in the Fig. The conductors are transposed and each has a diameter of 2.0 cm. Assume that the
transmission line is 4 m above the ground level.
