Problem 1
One circuit of a single-phase transmission line is composed of three solid 0.5- cm radius wires. The
return circuit is composed of two solid 2.5-cm radius wires. The arrangement of conductors is as
shown in Figure 1. Applying the concept of the GMD and GMR, find the inductance of the complete
line in millihenry per kilometer.

Problem 2
A three-phase, 60-Hz, untransposed transmission line runs in parallel with a telephone line for 20 km.
The power line carries a balanced three-phase rms current of Ia = 3206 0◦ A, Ib = 3206 −120◦ A, and Ic
= 3206 −240◦ A The line configuration is as shown in Figure 2. Assume zero current flows in the
ungrounded telephone wires. Find the magnitude of the voltage induced in the telephone line.

Problem 3
A three-phase, 765-kV, 60-Hz transposed line is composed of four ACSR 1,431,000, 45/7 Bobolink
conductors per phase with flat horizontal spacing of 14 m. The conductors have a diameter of 3.625
cm and a GMR of 1.439 cm. The bundle spacing is 45 cm. The line is 400 Km long, and for the purpose
of this problem, a lossless line is assumed.
(a) Determine the transmission line surge impedance Zc, phase constant β, wavelength λ, the surge
impedance loading SIL, and the ABCD constant.
(b) The line delivers 2000 MVA at 0.8 lagging power factor at 735 kV. Determine the sending end
quantities and voltage regulation.
(c) Determine the receiving end quantities when 1920MWand 600 Mvar are being transmitted at 765
kV at the sending end.
(d) The line is terminated in a purely resistive load. Determine the sending end quantities and voltage
regulation when the receiving end load resistance is 264.5 at 735 kV.
