4. A single core cable is graded by using three dielectrics with relative permittivity 5,4,3 respectively. The diameter of the conductor is 2cm and the overall diameter is 8 cm. If the three dielectric work at the same maximum stress of 40kV/cm, then the safe working rms voltage of cable is ______ kV
a) 57.72
b) 81.63
c) 84.67
d) 71.63
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: d=2cm, d1 = ?, d2= ?, D = 8cm
Ԑ1 = 5; Ԑ2 = 4; Ԑ3 = 3
gmax =40 kV/cm
Ԑ1d1 = Ԑ2d2 = Ԑ3d3
d1 = 2.5cm, d2 = 3.33 cm

Rms value of the peak voltage = 81.63/√2 = 57.72 kV.

5. A generator delivers power of 1 pu to an infinite bus through a purely reactive network. The maximum power that could be delivered by generator is 2 pu. A three phase fault occurs at the generator which reduces the generator output to zero. The fault is restored after ‘tc’ seconds. The maximum swing of rotor angle is found to be δmax = 110o electrical. The rotor angle at ‘tc’ is ________ electrical deg.
a) 69.14^o
b) 159.14^o
c) 63.08^o
d) 65.7^o
