A string of suspension insulators consists of three units. The capacitance between each link pin and earth is one-sixth of the self-capacitance of each unit. If the maximum voltage per unit is not to exceed 35 kV, determine the maximum voltage that the string can withstand. Also calculate the string efficiency.
