A DC is supplied through a solid conductor cable. The fault in the cable can be determined by using Murray Loop Test. The healthy cable has the insulation resistance of 1 kilo Ohms per meter. No fault occurred till the first 10 km. The core of healthy cable has the circumference of 7.86cm. If the resistivity of insulation is 900 G Ohm-mm, what is the diameter of the cable.

Using the above example, determine the wire size needed for the 400-ampere service in accordance with the National electrical Code. Assume that the conductors have type THWH insulation. (Note: As a general rule, for each 100 feet of conductor length the wire size is increased one standard size because of voltage drop.)
With respect to conductor insulation, describe the following location ratings: a. Dry b. Damp c. Wet

A two wire DC distributor AB, 1000 meter long, is supplied from both ends, 240 V at A and 242 V at B. There is a concentrated load of 200 A at a distance of 400 meter from A and a uniformly load 1.0 A/m between the midpoint and end B. Determine (i) the current fed at points A and B (ii) the point of minimum potential and (iii) voltage and this point. Consider cable resistance as 0.005 ohm per 1000 meter each core.
5. A 2-wire DC ring distributor is 375m long and is fed with 300V at point A. At point B, 200m from A, load of 150A is taken and at point C, 100m in the opposite direction, a load of 100A is taken. If the resistance per 100m of single conductor is 0.03, find: i. Current in each section of distributor ii. Voltage at points B and C iii. Point of minimum potential
