Answer any FIVE questions All questions carry EQUAL marks

1.

a) Explain the behavior of a traveling wave when it is reflected from the terminal inductance.

b) Explain the terms attenuation and distortion of travelling waves propagated on over head lines. What is the effect of corona on the transmission lines?

2.

a) A 132 kV transmission line having a surge impedance of 450 ohms terminates at a 7.5 MVA, 132/33 kV transformer which may represented by a lumped inductor of 15 H and lumped capacitance of 0.03 F in parallel. A rectangular surge of 1500 kV travels along the line towards the transformer. Calculate the refracted voltage into the transformer when the incident wave reaches the transformer terminals.

b) What is the effect of connecting a short cable of impedance Zc (<< Zo) to a over head line of surge impedance Zo. 3. a) Briefly explain the phenomena of lightning. Discuss the lightning stroke characteristics, indicating the stroke current wave forms and stroke current magnitude distributions. b) Explain how the over voltages are produced in transmission systems due to lightning strokes. 4.
