a.

Briefly Explain the following


i. The Ferranti effect and the proximity effect
The Ferranti Effect is the rise in the voltage at the receiving end of a long transmission line. It is
because of a very light load while the line is energized.

The proximity effect occurs an alternating flux in a conductor is induced to a nearby conductor
thus causing a eddy currents which tend to increase the resistance of the wire thus causing more
power losses.
ii. The purpose of a substation

iii. Why conductors are not fully stretched between supports.

iv. The economic choice of a transmission voltage

v. Overhead versus underground system of distribution

b. Discuss
i. The meaning of compensation of reactive power.

ii. The importance of voltage control in power systems

iii. Why it is necessary to have high string efficiency

iv. Limitation of high transmission voltage

v. Advantages of high transmission voltages


c. In a 3-phase overhead system, each line is suspended by a string of 3 insulators. The voltage
across the top unit (i.e. near the tower) and middle units are 10kV and 11kV respectively.
Calculate:
i. The ratio of shunt capacitance to self-inductance of each insulator.

ii. The string efficiency

iii. The line voltage

d. The tower of height 40m and 30m respectively support transmission line conductor of water
crossing. The horizontal distance between the towers is 300m. If the tension in the conductor
is 1590kg.
Find the clearance of a point midway between supports weight of conductor is 0.8kg/m
Bases of the towers can be at water level.
