Consider a three-phase. 50 Hz, 11 kV distribution system, Each of the conductors is suspended by an insulator string having two identical porcelain insulators. The self-capacitance of the insulator is 5 times the shunt capacitance between the link and the ground, as shown in the figure. The voltage across the two insulators are
Consider a three-phase. 50 Hz, 11 kV distribution system, Each of the conductors is suspended by an insulator string having two identical porcelain insulators. The self-capacitance of the insulator is 5 times the shunt capacitance between the link and the ground, as shown in the figure. The voltage across the two insulators are Correct Answer <span style="">e1 = 3.46 kV, e2 = 2.89 kV</span>
Given that
Line voltage = 11 kV
Frequency = 50 Hz
k = shunt capacitance between link and ground / self-capacitance of insulator = 1/5 = .2

And we know that,
Vph = e1 + e2
(11/√3) kV = e1 + e2 --------------- (1)
e1 = (1 + k) e2
e1 = 1.2 e2 -------------- (2)
From (1) and (2)
e1 = 3.46 kV, e2 = 2.89 kV
