Question 1. An overhead 3-phase transmission line delivers 5000 kW at 22 kV at
0.8 p.f. lagging. The resistance and reactance of each conductor are 4 Ω and 6 Ω,
respectively. Determine: (i) Sending end voltage (ii) percentage regulation (iii)
transmission efficiency.
Question 2. A 3-phase, 50Hz, 150 km line has a resistance, inductive reactance and
capacitive shunt admittance of 0.1 Ω, 0.5 Ω and 3 × 10−6 S per km per phase. If the
line delivers 50 MW at 110 kV and 0.8 p.f. lagging, determine the sending end
voltage and current. Assume a nominal π circuit for the line.
Question 3. Determine the efficiency and regulation of a 3-phase, 100 km, 50 Hz
transmission line delivering 20 MW at a p.f. of 0.8 lagging and 66 kV to a balanced
load. The conductors are of copper, each having resistance 0.1 ohm per km, 1.5 cm
outside dia, spaced equilaterally 2 metres between centres. Neglect leakage
reactance and use (i) nominal-T model.
Question 4. The generalized circuit constants of a 3-phase, 220kV rated voltage,
medium-length transmission line are:
A = D = 0.936 + j0.016 = 0.9360.98
B = 35.5 + j138 =142.076.4
C = (- 5.18+ j914) 10 -6
If the load at the receiving end is 50 MW at 220 kV with a power factor of 0.9
lagging, then find the line-to-line sending end voltage.
Question 5. For a 400 km long transmission line, the series impedance is (0.0 + j
0.5) Ω / km and the shunt admittance is (0.0 + j 5.0) μmho/km. Find the magnitude
of the series impedance (in Ω) of the equivalent π circuit of the transmission line.
Question 6. A single circuit 50 Hz, 3-phase long transmission line has the following
parameters per km: R = 0.2 Ω, L = 1.3 mH and C = 0.01 µF. The voltage at the
receiving end is 132 kV. Determine the characteristic impedance, propagation
constant, attenuation and phase constants per km of the line.
