Question # 1:
The conductor of one phase of a three-phase transmission line operating at 345 kV, 600 MVA, has a
CT and a VT connected to it. The VT is connected between the line and ground as shown in Fig. 1.
The CT ratio is 1200:5 and the VT ratio is 3000:1. Determine the CT secondary current and VT
secondary voltage.

Question # 2:
Consider the single-phase CVT shown in Fig. 2. The open circuit voltage requirement of the CVT is
100 V, while the line voltage connected across terminal A is 100 kV. Find the values of C1 and C2
such that there is no phase displacement between the line voltage and the output of the CVT. The
leakage inductance (L) of the transformer is 1 mH and the supply frequency is 50 Hz.

Consider the circuit of Fig. 13. The open-circuit voltage across C2 is given by

Now we want 100 V at the output of the VT, which has a turns ratio of 100:1. Therefore,

Question # 3:
The current plug (tap) settings (CTS) of a GEC 5-A overcurrent relay can be varied from 1 A to 12
A and the TMS can be varied from 0.5 to 10. If the input current to the overcurrent relay is 10 A,
determine the relay operating time for the following current tap setting (CTS) and time dial setting
(TDS):
(a) CTS = 1.0 and TDS = ;
(b) CTS = 2.0 and TDS = 1.5;
(c) CTS = 2.0 and TDS = 7;
(d) CTS = 3.0 and TDS = 7; and
(e) CTS = 12.0 and TDS = 1.
Use the overcurrent relay characteristics

tp is the pickup or operating time

Ir is the ratio of |If|/|Ip|
A = 28.2, B = 0.1217 and p = 2.0

(a) CTS=1.0, then Ir=|If|/|Ip|=10. Therefore,

(b) CTS=2.0, then Ir=|If|/|Ip|=5. Therefore,

t p 1.5 2
0.1217 1.945 sec

(c) CTS=2.0, then Ir=|If|/|Ip|=5. Therefore,

(d) CTS=3.0, then Ir=|If|/|Ip|=3.33. Therefore,

(e) CTS=12.0, then Ir=|If|/|Ip|<1. Therefore, the relay does not operate.
