A three-phase transposed line is composed of one ACSR 1,431,000 cmil, 47/7 Bobolink conductor per phase with flat horizontal spacing of 11 meters as shown in Figure (a). The conductors have a diameter of 3.625 cm and a GMR of 1.439 cm. The line is to be replaced by a three-conductor bundle of ACSR 477,000 cmil, 26/7 Hawk conductors having the same cross-sectional area of aluminum as the single-conductor line (Figure (b)). The conductors have a diameter of 2.1793 cm and a GMR of 0.8839 cm. The new line will also have a flat horizontal configuration, but it is to be operated at a higher voltage and therefore the phase spacing is increased to 14 m as measured from the center of the bundles as shown in Figure (b). The spacing between the conductors in the bundle is 45 cm. Determine the inductance and capacitance for both lines. Calculate the percentage change in the capacitance and inductance for both lines. Interpret these changes.
