A33 kV, 50 Hz, three-phase underground cable, 4 km long, uses three single core cables.
Each of the conductors has a diameter of 2.5 cm and the radial thickness of insulation is
0.5 cm. The relative permittivity of the dielectric is 3.0. If the power factor of the
unloaded cable is 0.02, the dielectric loss per phase in kW is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 4.3-4.8= In Cables MCQ Question 6 Detailed Solution
Coneept:
The capacitance a single core cable is given by
C= 2m
Where e;is the relative permittivity of the dielectric
Dis the diameter of the cable with insulation
dis the diameter of the core
Dielectric loss ina cable = V2wC tan 6
Calculation:
Given that,
Diameter of the core (d) = 2.5 em
Radial thickness of insulation = 0.5 em
The diameter of the thickness of insulation = 1 cm
Diameter of the cable = 2.5 +1 =3.5cm
‘The relative permittivity of the dielectric (€,) = 3.0
2xx8.854x1052x3) 7 -10-
The capacitance of a cable — CE = 4.96 x 10-10F/m
For klong, the capacitance s WI :
= 4.96 x 10° x 4000 = 1.984 uF
Power factor at no load = cos $ = 0.02
== 88.854"
Loss angle, 6 = 90 - = 90 - 88.854 = 1.146"
Dielectric loss per phase is,
