1. A 800 kV transmission line has per phase con- ductor inductance of 1.0 mH/km and capaci tance of 10.5 nF/km. Find the following: (a) The line surge/characteristic impedance. (b) The ideal power transfer capability of the line. (c) Transient overvoltage generated when the line conductor is struck by lightning and a peak impulse current of 30 kA is injected. 2. A circuit breaker (CB) installed on the line in Q.1 opens when a fault occurs. What will be the peak values of the 'switching overvoltages' produced when: (a) The CB opens at the instant of current zero crossing of the power frequency fault current? (b) The CB interrupts a power frequency fault current at its instant magnitude of 10 kA? 1. (a) 308.6 (b) 2073.88 MW (c) 4.62 MV (peak) 2. (a) 2.26 MV (peak) (b) 4.35 MV (peak)

1. A 800 kV transmission line has per phase con-
ductor inductance of 1.0 mH/km and capaci
tance of 10.5 nF/km. Find the following:
(a) The line surge/characteristic impedance.
(b) The ideal power transfer capability of the
line.
(c) Transient overvoltage generated when the
line conductor is struck by lightning and a
peak impulse current of 30 kA is injected.
2. A circuit breaker (CB) installed on the line in
Q.1 opens when a fault occurs. What will be
the peak values of the 'switching overvoltages'
produced when:
(a) The CB opens at the instant of current
zero crossing of the power frequency fault
current?
(b) The CB interrupts a power frequency fault
current at its instant magnitude of 10 kA?
