Time: 3 Hours Max Marks: 60
Answer any FIVE questions
All questions carry EQUAL marks
****
1. a) Explain the central role of the computer in distribution planning with neat schematic?
b) The annual peak load input to a primary feeder is 2000 kW. A computer program
which calculates voltage drops and I2R losses shows that the total copper loss at the
time of peak load is . The total annual energy supplied to the
6
sending end of the feeder is 5.61×10 kWh. (i) Determine the annual loss factor (ii)
Calculate the total annual copper loss energy and its values at Rs.1.50/kWh.

2. a) Explain the design consideration of radial type distribution feeder?

b) Discuss the factors affecting the design loading of a feeder?
3. a) Derive the voltage drop and power loss calculations on non 3 phase line?
b) Differentiate between the three phase balanced primary lines and non three phase
primary lines?

4. a) Write about the objectives of distribution system protection?

b) Explain about the automatic circuit reclosers and breakers?

5. a) Describe the different types of power capacitors? Explain the effect of shunt capacitor
in feeder circuit with neat schematic?
b) A 3 Φ, 500 hp, 50 Hz, 11 kV star connected induction motor has a full load efficiency
of 85% at lagging p.f of 0.75 and is connected to a feeder. If it is desired to correct the
p.f of 0.9 lagging load determine
(i) the size of the capacitor bank in kVAR
(ii) the capacitance of each unit if the capacitors are connected in Y.

6. a) Define (i) diversity factor (ii) coincidence factor (iii) contribution factor
b) Explain the benefits derived through optimal location of substations?
