According to the Overhead Line Design Standard for Transmission & Distribution
Systems TS-107 of South Australia Power Networks, a minimum clearance of 255mm
between 11kV phase-phase conductors shall be maintained under all conditions. This
rated voltage is allowed to vary up to 10%. A range of conductors with diameter of
8.3mm, 14.3mm or 29.3mm are available for use. Calculate the worst-case electric stress
and comment on the result. Note that the breakdown strength of air is 3kV/mm
Hint: Consider two bare conductors (representing two phases) of radius a, separated by
distance d, with a voltage V between them. Figure 1 shows the resultant electric field
intensity in the air space.
