    distribution across each insulator as a percentage of line voltage to earth and the string
    efficiency. (VKM-181)

    2a) A transmission line conductor consists of hard drawn copper 240 mm2 in cross section 6
    and has a span of 160 metres, the supporting structure being level. The conductor has
    an ultimate strength of 42.2 kg/mm2 and the desired factor of safety is 5. Find the
    vertical sag with a wind pressure of 1.35 kg/metre length and an ice coating of 1.25
    cm. Take the density of hard drawn copper as 8.9 g/cc and weight of ice as 915 kg/m3.

    6 hours 3 MW @ 0.8 p.f. lagging
    The wire is used for 365 days yearly. The cost per km of wire including
    erection/laying is Rs (4000 + 1500 a) where ‘a’ is area of cross section of conductor
