Question

Transcribed Image Text:12. A partially interconnected three-stage
network as shown in Figure 5.14 consists of
switches of size 10 x 10 and connects 1000
incoming trunks to 1000 outgoing trunks. The
outgoing trunks serve ten routes, each having
one trunk connected to each tertiary switch.
(a) (i) Compare the number of crosspoints in
the network with the number required by a
three-stage fully interconnected network
with the same number of incoming and
outgoing trunks.
(ii) What advantage would the fully
interconnected network have over that
shown in Figure 5.14?
(b) (i) Assuming that the traffic is evenly
distributed over the incoming and outgoing
trunks, determine the grade of service
when each incoming trunk originates 0.6 E
of traffic.
(ii) If the total traffic offered to the
network is unchanged but the traffic
offered to one primary switch increases by
20%, find the grade of service for these
calls.
(iii) If the total traffic offered to the
network is unchanged but the traffic
offered to one outgoing route increases by
20%, find the grade of service for calls
offered to that route.

The system nominal voltage is 138 kV, and the positive sequence impedances for the various elements are given in the figure. The transformer impedance is given in ohms as viewed from the 138 kV side. Assume that the maximum load at the relay site is 120 MVA, and select a CT ratio accordingly. The available distance relay has zone 1 and zone 2 settings from 0.2 to 10 2, and zone 3 settings from 0.5 to 40 2, in increments of 0.1 2. The angle of maximum torque can be adjusted to 75° or 80°. Remember that the zone 3 of the relay must back up the line BC, as well as the transformer. A Rab (3+j40) B (2+ j50) (0+j9) с Fu D Figure 5.26 System for problem 5.1arrow_forward
