1. (a) Discuss the concept of geometric mean distance. How this concept used to
find the inductance of composite conductor line.
(b) A 3-phase single circuit 132 KV overhead line has conductors of diameter 1.8
cm each. The spacing between conductors is 4 m, 6 m, and 9 m. Find the
inductance per phase per km. [6+10]
2. What is method of images? Derive an expression for the capacitance per unit length
of a 3-phase transposed line. What is the effect of earth on the capacitance of the
line? [4+8+4]
3. (a) Discuss why equivalent π circuit of a long line is preferred over the equivalent
T circuit.
(b) A three phase 50 Hz transmission line is 150 km long and delivers 25 MW at
0.85 power factor lagging and at 110 KV. The resistance and reactance of the
line per conductor per km are 0.3 ohms and 0.9 ohms respectively. The line
charging admittance is 0.3×10−6 mho per km per phase. Compute by applying
the nominal π method the voltage regulation and transmission efficiency.

5. An overhead line has a conductor of cross-section 2.5 cm2 hard drawn copper and a
span length of 150 metres. Determine the sag which must be allowed if the tension
is not to exceed one-fifth of the ultimate strength of 4,175 Kg/Cm2 .
