portions of the power system, indicating the number, voltage
Details submitted with Annexure-I,
1.1 ratings, capacities, etc. of the various power apparatus. Indicate
enclosed herewith
also by dotted lines the extension proposed ultimately or
through the current Five Year Plan.

Note: By relevant is meant all the power stations, which under normal operating conditions will feed into a
fault occurring within or outside the parallelism section as well as all lines on which such fault current
would flow.

Data on the characteristics of equipment, viz. generators,

transformers, reactors, synchronous condensers, earthing
Details submitted with Annexure-II,
1.2 transformers, etc. installed in the system as per enclosed
enclosed herewith
annexure (transient reactance figures should be given for all
rotating machines).

Please state if the neutral points of the power system are (i)
insulated, or (ii) earthed. If the latter, please indicate the type
1.3 of earthing, e.g. solidly earthed, earthed through Peterson coils,
eathed through resistance or reactance. Give also full
particulars.

2.0 Please supply the following data in respect of the particular power line for which approval is sought.

2.1 Name of proposed EHV line.

2.2 Operating voltage and number of circuits.

(i) Length.
(ii) Conductor & Earth wire size and material.

If it is a tap or spur or LILO line, the length of the tap/LILO point

2.4 and the distance of the tapping/LILO point from the end sub-
stations should be clearly indicated.

Is the power line bussed at any intermediate sub-stations? If so,

2.5
please give details.

2.6 Will the power line initially be charged at some lower voltage?

similar route map of the existing line, should also be
supplied along with the route map of proposed line.

A copy of the route map with telecom circuits marked be

also sent to local DOT authorities and Railway authorities,
Note2: requesting them to confirm the telecom circuit and also
indicate the points of discontinuity in the telecom circuits
to both the Joint Secretaries of the committee.

Number and date of the route map showing the proposed

3.1
alignment.

Sketch or sketches of supports showing the conductor and group

Details submitted with Annexure-III,
4.0 wire arrangements of the transmission line together with an
enclosed herewith
indication of the sizes and materials of the various wires.

Please indicate the protective device adopted for the line. In respect
of lines protected by circuit breakers, please furnish also the type of
5.0 the lines and relaying proposed and the total time (Breaker and
Relay) for clearance of ground faults on the line with normal relay
settings.

Please indicate the soil resistivity in the area covered by the line. The
soil resistivity should be measured by the four electrode method
Details submitted with Annexure-IV,
6.0 using an inter electrode spacing of 50 meters (150 feet). The
enclosed herewith
measurements may be made at every 2 or 3 kms .along the length of
the line.
