Problem 1: 10 Marks
A 3-phase, 50 Hz, 30 km long power line has four conductors as shown in Figure 1 (1.5 cm
diameter). The phase wires a, b and c carry the currents: Ia = -30 + j24 A, Ib = -20 + j26 A and
Ic = 50 - j50 A respectively. The fourth wire n is a neutral wire and carries zero current. If the
line is transposed, calculate
(a) Flux linkages of the neutral wire
(b) Voltage induced in the neutral wire
(c) Voltage drop in each of the three-phase wires
