Q1. In a 33 kV overhead line, there are three units in the string of insulators. If the capacitance
between each insulator pin and earth is 11% of self-capacitance of each insulator, find (i) the
distribution of voltage over 3 insulators and (ii) string efficiency.
Q2. The three bus-bar conductors in an outdoor substation are supported by units of post type
insulators. Each unit consists of a stack of 3 pin type insulators fixed one on the top of the other.
The voltage across the lowest insulator is 13·1 kV and that across the next unit is 11 kV. Find the
bus-bar voltage of the station.
Q3. A string of 5 insulators is connected across a 100 kV line. If the capacitance of each disc to earth is
0·1 of the capacitance of the insulator, calculate (i) the distribution of voltage on the insulator
discs and (ii) the string efficiency.
Q4. The self capacitance of each unit in a string of three suspension insulators is C. The shunting
capacitance of the connecting metal work of each insulator to earth is 0·15 C while for line it is 0·1
C. Calculate (i) the voltage across each insulator as a percentage of the line voltage to earth and
(ii) string efficiency.
Q5. A transmission line has a span of 150 m between level supports. The conductor has a cross-
sectional area of 2 cm2. The tension in the conductor is 2000 kg. If the specific gravity of the
conductor material is 9·9 gm/cm3 and wind pressure is 1·5 kg/m length, calculate the sag. What
is the vertical sag?
Q6. A transmission line has a span of 275 m between level supports. The conductor has an effective
diameter of 1·96 cm and weighs 0·865 kg/m. Its ultimate strength is 8060 kg. If the conductor has
ice coating of radial thickness 1·27 cm and is subjected to a wind pressure of 3·9 gm/cm 2 of
projected area, calculate sag for a safety factor of 2. Weight of 1 c.c. of ice is 0·91 gm.
Q7. An overhead transmission line conductor having a parabolic configuration weighs 1·925 kg per
metre of length. The area of X-section of the conductor is 2·2 cm2 and the ultimate strength is 8000
kg/cm2. The supports are 600 m apart having 15 m difference of levels. Calculate the sag from the
taller of the two supports which must be allowed so that the factor of safety shall be 5. Assume
that ice load is 1 kg per metre run and there is no wind pressure.
