(c) 2pu
(d) 3pu
Ans: 
(c)
Sol: Previous Year Questions- Power System Transients | Power Systems - Electrical Engineering (EE)If a step voltage of magnitude 'V' travels through transmission line which is terminated with a inductive load ZL = L1s then voltage transmitted (Induced) across the ZL = L1s

Q2: The insulation strength of an EHV transmission line is mainly governed by      (2005)
(a) load power factor
(b) switching over-voltages
(c) harmonics
(d) corona
Ans:
(b)
Sol: 
NOTE: At transmission line voltages upto around 230 kV, the insulation level is dictated by the requirement of protection against lighting. For voltages from 230 kV to 700 kV, both switching transients and lightning overlotages must be accounted for in deciding the insulation levels. In EHV (> 700 kV) switching surges cause overvoltages than lightning and are therefore mainly responsible for insulation level decision.  

Q3: Total instantaneous power supplied by a 3-phase ac supply to a balanced R-L load is      (2004)
(a) zero
(b) constant
(c) pulsating with zero average
(d) pulsating with the non-zero average
Ans:
(b)
Sol: Impedance of the load

Q4: A surge of 20 kV magnitude travels along a lossless cable towards its junction with two identical lossless overhead transmission lines. The inductance and the capacitance of the cable are 0.4 mH and 0.5 μF per km. The inductance and capacitance of the overhead transmission lines are 1.5 mH and 0.015 μF per km. The magnitude of the voltage at the junction due to surge is     (2003)
