5. IAn insulator for 66 kV line is provided with 5 discs.

The capacitance between each joint ---- cllld


tower is one sixth of the self capacitance of each disc. Find the voltage across each disc cllld
string efficiency. [4.25 kV, 5.0 kV, 6.5 kV, 9.11 kV, 13 .3 kV, 57.3%]
5.2 Astring insulator for 66 kV line has 4 discs. The capacitance from each joint to tower is 25%
of the self capacitance of each unit. Find the voltage distribution across the units and string ef-
ficiency.
[5.53, 6.91, 10, 15.6, kV, 61%]
5.3 A string insulator has 3 units. The capacitance from each joint to tower is 12.5% of the capaci-
tance of each unit. It is desired that the voltage across any unit should not exceed 11 kV. Find
the maximum voltage for which the string can be used. [27.83 kV]
5.4 A string has 6 insulator units. The capacitance between each joint and earth is 10% of self ca-
pacitance of each unit. Find the voltage across the lowest unit as a percentage of total voltage.
Also find string efficiency. [28.5%, 58.5%]
5.5 In a string of 3 units each unit has a capacitance C. The capacitance between each joint and
tower is 0.2 C. A grading ring is also provided. The capacitance between the grading ring and
the lowest joint is 0.4 C. The capacitance between grading ring and second lowest joint is O.lC.
Find string efficiency. [100%]
5.6 In a 3-unit string insulator, the joint to tower capacitance is 20% of the capacitance of each unit.
By how much should the capacitance of the lowest unit be increased to get a string efficiency oi
90%. The remaining two units are left unchanged. [26.7%]
