Long Answer Questions
Q12) Define and explain radio interference and television interference due to corona loss?
Q13) Explain the phenomenon of corona formation?
Q14) Corona loss can be reduced by increasing diameter and spacing between conductors. Why?
Q15) A3-Phase 220KV, 50Hz transmission line has conductors each 1.5cm radius and spaced 1.5 meters
from one another. Calculate using Peeks formula the corona loss, if any per Km length of line. Assume
surface irregularity factor 0.94 and relative air density 0.96. Also find the visual voltage for the system in
this ambient conditions.
Q16) For r=1cm, H= 5meters, f = 50Hz. Calculate the corona loss using peeks formula where E = 1.1E
o
and = 1. Also find corona current.

c) Occurrence of corona waves
Q20) Find the corona loss of 110KV, 50 Hz, 3 Phase transmission line, 175 Km long consisting of three
1cm diameter stranded copper conductors spaces in 3 meter delta arrangement. Temperature 26C and
barometric pressure is 74cm, mo = 0.85, m
v
for local corona = 0.72 and m
v
for general corona = 0.82.
