If span is increased, the sag

If span is increased, the sag:

  1. Increases
  2. Decreases
  3. Is not being affected
  4. None of above

Correct answer: 1. Increases

If string efficiency is increased, voltage across disc nearest to conductor

If string efficiency is increased, voltage across disc nearest to conductor:

  1. Increases
  2. Decreases
  3. Remains unchanged
  4. None of these

Correct answer: 2. Decreases

A string efficiency of 100% implies that

A string efficiency of 100% implies that:

  1. Shunt capacitance is maximum
  2. Shunt capacitance is zero
  3. Self-capacitance is maximum
  4. Self-capacitance is zero

Correct answer: 2. Shunt capacitance is zero Explanation: If shunt capacitance is zero, this indicates that charging current through each disc will be the same. This means that voltage across each disc is the same. This inturn implies 100% string efficiency.

With an increase in length of transmission lines, the resistance of line

With an increase in length of transmission lines, the resistance of line:

  1. Increases
  2. Decreases
  3. Remains unchanged
  4. None of these

Correct answer: 1. Increases

Explanation: Resistance of line is mathematically expressed in the form:

R= ρl/a

Since length of transmission and resistance are directly proportional, the resistance R increases.
