Q1. The figure below shows the conductor configuration of a completely transposed three
phase overhead line with bundled phase conductors. All conductors have a radius of 0.74
cm with 30 cm bundle spacing. (a) Determine the inductance per phase in mH/km and
mH/mi, (b) Find the inductive line reactance per phase in /mi at 60 Hz.
Q2. A 230 kV, 60 Hz, three phase completely transposed overhead line has one ACSR,
954-kcmil conductor per phase and flat horizontal phase spacing with 8 m between
adjacent conductors. Determine:
a) The inductance in H/m and inductive reactance in /km
b) The capacitance to ground in F/m and admittance to neutral in S/km.
Q3
A three-phase transposed line is composed of one ACSR 1,431,000 cmil, 47/7 Bobolink
conductor per phase with flat horizontal spacing of 11 meters as shown in Figure 1. The
conductors have a diameter of 3.625 cm and a GMR of 1.439 cm. The line is to be
replaced by a three-conductor bundle of ACSR 477,000 cmil, 26/7 Hawk conductors
having the same cross-sectional area of aluminum as the single-conductor line. The
conductors have a diameter of 2.1793 cm and a GMR of 0.8839 cm. The new line will
also have a flat horizontal configuration, but it is to be operated at a higher voltage and
therefore the phase spacing is increased to 14 m as measured from the center of the
bundles as shown in Figure 2. The spacing between the conductors in the bundle is 45
cm. Determine:
(a) The percentage change in the inductance.
(b) The percentage change in the capacitance.

Q4.
Calculate the inductance, resistance (DC and 25o) and capacitance to ground for a
bundled 500-kV three phase completely transposed overhead line having two ACSR
1590-kcmil conductors per bundle with 1.0 m between conductors in the bundle. The
horizontal phase spacing between bundle centers are 15, 15 and 30 meters.
