Question
A 2-wire d.c. distributor, 500 m long is fed at one of its ends. The cross-sectional area of each conductor is 3·4 cm2 and the resistivity of copper is 1·7 μΩcm. The distributor supplies 200 A at a distance of 300m from the feeding point and 100 A at the terminus. Calculate the voltage at the feeding end if the voltage at the terminus is to be 230 V.
![TUTORIAL PROBLEMS
1. What should be the minimum cross-sectional area of each conductor in a two-core cable 100 m long to
limit the total voltage drop to 4% of the declared voltage of 250V when the conductors cary 60A ? The
resistivity of the conductor is 2-845 µ2 cm.
2. A2-wire d.c. distributor, 500 m long is fed at one of its ends. The cross-sectional area of each conductor
is 3-4 cm and the resistivity of copper is 1-7 µ2cm. The distributor supplies 200 A at a distance of
300m from the feeding point and 100 A at the terminus. Calculate the voltage at the feeding end if the
voltage at the terminus is to be 230 V.
3. A 2-wire d.c. distributor AB 500 metres long is fed from point A and is loaded as under :

If the specific resistance of copper is 1-7× 10m, what must be the cross-section of each wire in order
that the voltage drop in the distributor shall not exceed 10 volts ?
4. A 2-wire d.c. distributor is 250 m long. It is to be loaded as shown in Fig 13.10 at 50 m intervals. If the
maximum voltage drop is not to exceed 10V and the resistivity of core material is 0-7 x 2-54 µSN cm

- The Aluminum Electrical Conductor Handbook lists a dc resistance of 0.01558 ohm per 1000 ft at 20C and a 60-Hz resistance of 0.0956 ohm per mile at 50C for the all-aluminum Marigold conductor, which has 61 strands and whose size is 1113 kcmil. Assuming an increase in resistance of 2 for spiraling, calculate and verify the dc resistance. Then calculate the dc resistance at 50C, and determine the percentage increase due to skin effect.arrow_forwardOverhead transmission-line conductors are bare with no insulating cover.
