at equal heights tal<ing into account the wind and ice loadings also?

b)

Detennine the operating voltage of a Single core cable of diarneter 2 cm and having three
Insulating rnaterials of permittivities 5,4,3. The overall diarneter of the cable is 5 cms and
the maxirnum working stress is 4OKV/cm. Compare the operating voltage with the voltage
if the Cable were not graded and the material with sarne rvorking Stress was used? (8M)

Explain various culrent limiting reactors used in power system?

A Station operating at 33KV is divided in to Sections A and B. The section A consists of

three generators l5 MVA each having a reactance of 15% and Section B is fed frorn the
grid through a 75 MVA transformer of 8% reactance. The circuit breakers have each
rupturing capacitl ttf 750 MVA. Detertnine the reaclance of the reactor to prevent the
breakers being overloaded if a Synrnetrical Short circuit occurs on an outgoing feeder

Explain Steady state Stability. Transient Stability and Dynarnic Stability?

Explain various methods of irnproving the Stead;- state Slability?

1 a)

Explain the point bv point nrethod of Solving the Swing Equation?

(8M)

b) A generator

operating at 50 Hz delivers 1.0 PU power

to an infinite bus through

transmission circuit in which resistance is ignored. A fault takes place reducing the
maxirnurn power transferable to 0.5 PtJ rvhere as before the fault , this power was 2.0 PU
after the clearance of the fault, it is 1.5 PU. By the use of equal area criterion. detenniue
