Question:

Three ACSR Drake conductors are used for a three-phase overhead transmission line operating at \(60 \mathrm{~Hz}\). The conductor configuration is in the form of an isosceles triangle with sides of 20, 20, and \(38 \mathrm{ft}\).

(a) Find the capacitance-to-neutral and capacitive reactance-to-neutral for each 1-mile length of line.

(b) For a line length of \(175 \mathrm{mi}\) and a normal operating voltage of \(220 \mathrm{kV}\), determine the capacitive reactance-to-neutral for the entire line length as well as the charging current per mile and total three-phase reactive power supplied by the line capacitance.
