2. You are given the 3 phase transmission line below. Assume the line is transposed. Do the following.
Line 1
Length \(=90\) miles
Height at tower \(=77\mathrm{ft}\)
Heigth at midspan \(=33\mathrm{ft}\)
Horizontal spacing between adjacent phases \(=35\mathrm{ft}\)
Number of conductors per bundle \(=4\), positioned as shown in figure
Bundle spacing \(=18\) inches
Conductor outside diameter \(=1.0\) in
AC Resistance \(=0.145\mathrm{ohm}/\mathrm{mile}\)
Conductor GMR \(=0.4260\) in
(a) Calculate the positive sequence series impedance per unit length
(b) Calculate the positive sequence shunt admittance per unit length
(c) Calculate line model parameters for the appropriate (short, medium, or long line) model. Explain your choice.
(d) If one end of the line is open circuited, and the other end is connected to a 500 kV ideal source calculate (1) the RMS phase current entering the line and (2) the line to neutral voltage at the open circuited end of the line.
(e) How does the use of bundled conductors impact the line parameters (\(\mathrm{R},\mathrm{L}\), and C )? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using bundled conductors?
