1. Estimate the corona loss for a three-phase, 110 kV, 50 Hz, 150 km long transmission line consisting of
three conductors each of 10 mm diameter and spaced 2:5 m apart in an equilateral triangle formation.
The temperature of air is 30°C and the atmospheric pressure is 750 mm of mercury. Take irregularity
factor as 0-85. Ionisation of air may be assumed to take place at a maximum voltage gradient of 30 kV/
[316-8 kW]
cm.
2. Taking the dielectric strength of air to be 30 kV/cm, calculate the disruptive critical voltage for a 3-phase
line with conductors of 1 cm radius and spaced symmetrically 4 m apart.
[220 kV line voltage]
3. A 3-phase, 220 kV, 50 Hz transmission line consists of 1-2 cm radius conductors spaced 2 m at the
corners of an equilateral triangle. Calculate the corona loss per km of the line. The condition of the wire
is smoothly weathered and the weather is fair with temperature of 20°C and barometric pressure of 72-2
cm of Hg.
