1.a) Derive the expression for voltage and current waves on transmissions
lines and obtain the surge impedances of the lines.
b) An overhead line has the following parameters:
Resistance= 74 × 10−6 ohms/m
Inductance= 1.212 × 10−6 H / m
Capacitance= 9.577 × 10−12 F/m
Leakage inductance=negligible
Assuming the voltage and current surge waves in the line remain
similar and in the ratio of surge impedance, calculate the distance
that the surge must travel to attenuate to half value.
4.a) What are the causes for switching and power frequency over voltages?
How are they controlled in a power system?
b) Discuss the origin and characteristics of over voltages due the to
switching surges in a power system.
