3.2 SHORT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS UNIT 1 INTRODUCTION 1. Why all transmission and distribution systems are 3 phase systems? A 3 phase a.c circuit using the same size conductors as the single phase circuit can carry three times the power which can be carried by a 1 phase circuit and uses 3 conductors for the 2 phases and one conductor for the neutral. Thus a 3 phase circuit is more economical than a 1 phase circuit in terms of initial cost as well as the losses. Therefore all transmission and distribution systems are 3 phase systems. 2. Why the transmission systems are mostly overhead systems? Because of the cost consideration, the transmission systems are mostly overhead systems. 3. Why all overhead lines use ACSR conductors? ACSR conductors comprises of hard drawn aluminium wires stranded around a core of single or multiple strand galvanized steel wire. They provides the , necessary conductivity while the steel provides the necessary mechanical strength. Has less corona loss. The breaking load is high and has less weight. 4. Why transmission lines are 3 phase 3 wire circuits while distribution lines are 3 phase 4 wire circuits? A Balanced 3 phase circuit does not require the neutral conductor, as the instantaneous sum of the 3 line currents are zero. Therefore the transmission lines and feeders are 3 phase 3 wire circuits. The distributors are 3 phase 4 wire circuits because a neutral wire is necessary to supply the 1 phase loads of domestic and commercial consumers. 5. Why overhead line conductors are invariably stranded? They are stranded to make them flexible during erection and while in service. 6. State the advantages of interconnected systems. Any area fed from one generating station during overload hours can be fed from another power station and thus reserved capacity required is reduced, reliability of supply is increased and efficiency is increased. 7. What is a ring distributor? A ring distributor is a distributor which is arranged to form a closed circuit and is fed at one or more than one point. 8. State any two advantages of ring main system. 37

Less voltage fluctuations at consumers terminals.Less copper is required as each part of the ring carries less current than in radial system. 9. Mention the disadvantages of a 3 wire system In 3 wire system a third wire is required .The safety is partially reduced .A balancer is required and therefore cost is increased. 10. What are the advantages of a 3 wire dc distribution system over a 2 wire dc distribution system? If 3 wire system is used to transmit the same amount of power over the same distance with same efficiency with same consumer voltage we require 0.3125 times copper as required in 2 wire system. 11. State kelvins law. The annual expenditure on the variable part of the transmission system should be equal to the annual cost of energy wasted in the conductor used in that system. 12. State any two limitations of kelvins law. It is difficult to estimate accurately the annual charge on the capital outlay. It does not give the exact economical size of the conductor. 13. Define resistance of the transmission line. It is defined as the loop resistance per unit length of the line in a single phase system. In 3 phase system it is defined as the resistance per phase. 14. What are the advantages of high voltage ac transmission. The power can be generated at high voltages. The maintenance of ac substation is easy and cheaper. 15. Mention the disadvantages of high voltage ac transmission. An ac line requires more copper than a dc line. The construction of an ac line is more complicated than a dc transmission line. Due to skin effect in the ac system the effective resistance of the line is increased. 16. Mention the limitations of using very high transmission voltage. The increased cost of insulating the conductor. The increased cost of transformers ,switch gears and other terminal apparatus. 17. Mention the terminal equipments necessary in HVDC system.

The steady current when flowing through the conductor ,does not distribute uniformly, rather it has the tendency to concentrate near the surface of the conductor. This phenomenon is called skin effect. 4.Why skin effect is absent in dc system? The steady current when flowing through a conductor distributes itself uniformly over the whole cross section of the conductor .That is why skin effect is absent in dc system. 5.What is the effect of skin effect on the resistance of the line? Due to skin effect the effective area of cross section of the conductor through which current flow is reduced. Hence the resistance of the line is increased when ac current is flowing. 6.On what factors the skin effect depend? Nature of the material, Diameter of the wire , Frequency and shape of the wire.
