Chapter 4: Q2MCQ (page 220)

Question:Overhead transmission-line conductors are bare with no insulating cover.

(a)True

(b)False

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The correct option is (a) True.

Step by step solution

01

Explain the purpose of insulating cover 

The overhead transmission-line conductors are heated continuously as it conducts the current. This makes conductor vulnerable to get damage if the heat is not allowed to dissipate through this conductor.

02

Draw the conclusion

Thus the transmission-line conductors are bare and has no insulating cover so as it can dissipate heat easily and can be saved from damaging.

Thus, the insulating cover let the heat generated in the core of the conductor to dissipate. Hence the given statement is true.

Consider a symmetrical with sub conductors arrange in a Circle of radiusA. The inductance of a single-phase symmetrical bundle-conductor line is given by
L=2×10-7InGMDGMRHm

Where is given by[Nr'(A)N-1]1N,r'=(e14r),rconductor radius, anGMDis approximately the distanceDbetween the bundle centers. Note thatAis related to the sub conductor spacingSin the bundle circle byS=2Asin(πN)

Now consider a965kV, single-phase, bundle-conductor line with eight sub conductors per phase, phase spacingD=20m, and the sub conductor spacingS=45.72cm. Each sub conductor has a diameter of4.572cm. Determine the line inductance inHm.

The Aluminum Electrical Conductor Handbooklists a dc resistance of 0.01558Ω per1000ft at 20°C and a 60Hz resistance of role="math" localid="1655275109672" 0.0956Ω per mile at 50°C for the all-aluminum Marigold conductor, which has 61 strands and whose size is1113kcmil . Assuming an increase in resistance of 2% for spiraling, calculate and verify the dc resistance. Then calculate the dc resistance at 50°C, and determine the percentage increase due to skin effect.

Considering lines with neutral conductors and earth return, the effect of earth plane is accounted for by the method of _______ with a perfectly conducting earth plane.

(b) Only (i)

(c) Only (ii)

(d) None

A transmission-line cable with a length of 2kmconsists of 19 strandsof identical copper conductors, each 1.5mm in diameter. Because of thetwist of the strands, the actual length of each conductor is increased by 5%. Determine the resistance of the cable if the resistivity of copper is1.72μΩ-cm at data-custom-editor="chemistry" 20°C.
