Tutorial 4 Solution

The document provides solutions to a tutorial on suspension insulators, detailing calculations for maximum voltage, breakdown voltage, and capacitance adjustments with guard rings. It includes specific formulas and results for a string of 5 insulator units and a string of 3 insulator units. The calculations demonstrate how to determine voltage distribution and necessary capacitance changes to equalize voltage across units.

2. Inn a string off 3 insulatorr units, the capacitance


c of each uniit is C, from
m each connnector to
3 and from each connector to line conductor is
grround is C/3 i C/5.
(i) Calculaate the voltaage across each
e unit as a percentag
ge of the tottal voltage.
(ii) To whaat value thee capacitancce between the connecctor of the bottom
b unit and the
line has to be increased by a guard ring to
t make thee voltage accross it equaal to that
across the next higgher unit.
Soluution
(i) Let the vooltages from
m bottom to top units bee e1, e2, e3 reespectively.
(ii) With guard ring
