Exercise

1. A single-phase transmission line 35 km long consists of two solid round conductors, each having a diameter
of 0.9 cm. The conductor spacing is 2.5 m. Calculate the equivalent diameter of a fictitious hollow, thin-
walled conductor having the same equivalent inductance as the original line. What is the value of the
inductance per conductor?
2. A transmission-line cable consists of 12 identical strands of aluminum, each 3 mm in diameter. The resistivity
of aluminum strand at 20 oC is 2.8 × 10−8 Ω𝑚. Find the 50 oC AC resistance per km of the cable. Assume a
skin-effect correction factor of 1.02 at 60 Hz.

3. A stranded conductor consists of seven identical strands each having a radius r as shown in figure below.
Determine the GMR of the conductor in term of r.

4. One circuit of a single-phase transmission line is composed of three solid 0.5 cm radius wires. The return
circuit is composed of two solid 2.5-cm radius wires. The arrangement of conductors is as shown in Figure 35.
Applying the concept of the GMD and GMR, find the inductance of the complete line in millihenry per
kilometer.

5. A 500 kV three-phase transposed line is composed of one ACSR 1,272,000 cmil, 45/7 Bittern conductor per
phase with horizontal conductor configuration as shown in figure. The conductors have a diameter of 1.345 in
and a GMR of 0.5328 in. Find the inductance and capacitance per phase per kilometer of the line.

6. The line in previous example is replaced by two ACSR 636,000 cmil, 24/7 Rook conductors which have the
same total cross sectional area of aluminum as one bittern conductor. The line spacing as measured from the
center of the bundle is the same as before and is shown in figure.
7. 500 kV three phase transposed line is composed of one ACSR 1,272,000 cmil, 45/7 Bittern conductor per
phase with horizontal conductor configuration as shown in figure. The conductors have a diameter of 1.345 in
and a GMR of 0.5328 in. Find the inductance and capacitance per phase per kilometer of the line.

8. A three-phase, 60-Hz transposed transmission line has a flat horizontal configuration as shown in Figure 36.
The line reactance is 0.486 Ω per kilometer. The conductor geometric mean radius is 2.0 cm. Determine the
phase spacing D in meter.

9. A three-phase transposed line is composed of one ACSR 1,431,000 cmil, 47/7 Bobolink conductor per phase
with flat horizontal spacing of 11 meters as shown in Figure 39. The conductors have a diameter of 3.625 cm
and a GMR of 1.439 cm. The line is to be replaced by a three-conductor bundle of ACSR 477,000 cmil, 26/7
Hawk conductors having the same cross-sectional area of aluminum as the single-conductor line. The
conductors have a diameter of 2.1793 cm and a GMR of 0.8839 cm. The new line will also have a flat
horizontal configuration, but it is to be operated at a higher voltage and therefore the phase spacing is
increased to 14 m as measured from the center of the bundles as shown in Figure 40. The spacing between the
conductors in the bundle is 45 cm. Determine
a. The percentage change in the inductance.
b. The percentage change in the capacitance.

10. The conductors of a double-circuit three-phase transmission line are placed on the corner of a hexagon as
shown in Figure 43. The two circuits are in parallel and are sharing the balanced load equally. The conductors
of the circuits are identical, each having a radius r. Assume that the line is symmetrically transposed. Using
the method of GMR, determine an expression for the capacitance per phase per meter of the line.
