A transmission-line cable with a length of 2 km consists of 19 strands of identical copper conductors, each 1.5 mm in diameter. Because of the twist of the strands, the actual length of each conductor is increased by 5. Determine the resistance of the cable if the resistivity of copper is 1.72-cm at 20C.
PowerWorid Simulator case Problem 3_60 duplicates Example 3.13 except that a resistance term of 0.06 per unit has been added to the transformer and 0.05 per unit to the transmission line. Since the system is no longer lossless, a field showing the real power losses has also been added to the oneline. With the LTC tap fixed at 1.05, plot the real power losses as the phase shift angle is varied from 10 to +10 degrees. What value of phase shift minimizes the system losses?

1- Conductor cables are considered the active elements of a transmission line, as they carry current. Such elements must exhibit some characteristics, what are they? Is there an element that meets all these requirements? 2- Several natural processes can interfere with the proper functioning of a transmission line, such as the action of winds on the cables, which causes a fatigue process due to vibrations, mechanically limiting them. Are there any provisions capable of reducing such effects? If yes, indicate which ones. 3-We have an aerial bifilial transmission line, powered by a constant voltage source of 700 V. The values for the inductance of the conductors are 2.348x10-3 H/km and the capacitance values are 6.325x10-9 F/km. Assuming an ideal (no loss) line and its length of 130 km, determine the impedance line natural.
