Question

1)

A load of 130 MW at a power factor of 0.75 lagging can be delivered by a 3-phase transmission line. The voltage at the receiving end is to be maintained at 45 kV and the loss in the transmission is 5 % of the power delivered. (Consider the line to be a short transmission line) Find

Single-phase Power delivered                                                                      

Answer for part 1

Per phase voltage                                                                                       

Answer for part 2

Current flowing through the transmission line                                                       

Answer for part 3

3 Phase Losses in the transmission line                                                                 

Answer for part 4

Per phase resistance of the transmission line                                   

 

 

2)                                 

a) Discus why the transmission systems are mostly overhead systems.

b)Discuss why all overhead lines use ACSR conductors.

c) Discuss why at 400 kV and above the transmission lines have bundled conductors.

d) How do the various devices protect the penstock?

e) Discuss why the transmission lines are 3 phase 3 wire circuits while secondary distribution lines are 3 

      phase 4 wire circuits.

 

f) At which places the diesel power stations are finding favor? Why?

g) How do voids in the insulation cause breakdown of the cable?

h) What is the function of a condenser in a steam power plant?
