Answer:
The answer is given below
Explanation:
A 60 Hz three-phase, three-wire overhead line has solid cylindrical conductors arranged in the form of an equilateral triangle with 4 ft conductor spacing. Conductor diameter is 0.5 in.
Given that:
The spacing between the conductors (D) = 4 ft
1 ft = 0.3048 m
D = 4 ft = 4 × 0.3048 m = 1.2192 m
The conductor diameter = 0.5 in
Radius of conductor (r) = 0.5/2 = 0.25 in = 0.00635 m
Frequency (f) = 60 Hz
The capacitance-to-neutral is given by:
[tex]C_n=\frac{2\pi \epsilon_0}{ln(\frac{D}{r} )} =\frac{2\pi *8.854*10^{-12}}{ln(1.2192/0.00635)}=1.058*10^{-11}\ F/m[/tex]
The admittance-to-neutral is given by:
[tex]Y_n=j2\pi fC_n=j*2\pi *60*1.058*10^{-11}*\frac{1000\ m}{1\ km}=j3.989*10^{-6}\ S/km[/tex]
