IV. CABLES AND INSULATORS 1. A string insulator for 66kV line has 4 discs.

The capacitance from each joint to tower is 25% of the self capacitance of each unit. Find the voltage distribution across the units and string efficiency 2. Calculate the capacitance and charging current of a single-core cable used on a three phase 66kV system. The cable is 1Km. long having a core diameter 15cm. and sheath diameter 60cm. the relative permittivity of the insulation may be taken as 3.6 and the supply frequency as 50Hz 3. A 66kV, single core metal sheathed cable is to be graded by means of a metallic inter sheath. Calculate the diameter of the inter sheath and the voltage at which it must be maintained in order to obtain minimum overall diameter. The maximum voltage gradient at which the insulating material can be worked is 60kV/cm. Derive the formulae used. 4.A single core cable working on 66Kv on 3 phase system has a conductor diameter of 2 cm and a sheath of inside diameter 5.3 cm. if two inter sheaths are used , find the best positions , maximum stress and the voltage on the inter sheaths. 5. A phase overhead Transmission lines is supported on 4 disc insulators .The voltage across the second and third discs are 13.2 kV and 18kV respectively. Calculate the line voltage and mention the nearest standard voltage.
