Question
Q1.
Transmission and distribution lines are important components of any power system study.
(A) In relation to high voltage overhead ac transmission lines,
- Discuss the choice of materials for the conductors in terms of their electrical/
mechanical properties and the costs involved. - Discuss the factors that determine the distance (D) between phase conductors and explain the impact of the distance D on the inductance and capacitance values of the line at different voltage levels. Support your arguments with relevant equations where appropriate.
- Discuss the impact of the radius of the conductors on phase capacitance and inductance values and why bundles are used at very high voltages.
