charging current of 0.5 A at 400 kV. Determine the series inductance required. Assume 1%
resistance of the inductor. Also determine input voltage to the transformer. Neglect dielectric
loss of the cable
Problem 4:
Derive an expression for the efficiency of the following single stage impulse generator circuit.

Problem 5:
A ten-stage impulse generator has 0.250 µF condensers. The wave front and wave tail
resistances are 75 ohms and 2600 respectively. If the load capacitance is 2.5 nF, determine the
wave front and wave tail times of the impulse wave.
Problem 6:
A 12-stage impulse generator has capacitors each rated at 0.3 µF, 150 kV. The capacitance of
the test specimen is 400 pF. Determine the wave front and wave tail resistance to produce at
1.2/50 µ-sec impulse wave. Also determine the maximum output voltage if the charging voltage
is 125 kV.
Problem 7:

field and standard atmospheric conditions. Also, determine the voltage if the atmospheric
pressure is 750 mm Hg and temperature 35ºC.

With 10 kV between the plates the pull is 5 × 10–3 N. Determine the change in capacitance
for a movement of 1 mm of movable plate.
Problem 10:
A generating voltmeter is required to measure voltage between 15 kV to 250 kV. If the
indicating meter reads a minimum current of 2 µA and maximum of 35 µA, determine the
capacitance of the generating voltmeter. Assume that the speed of driving synchronous motor
is 1500 rpm.
Problem 11:
A peak reading voltmeter is required to measure voltage up to 150 kV. The peak voltmeter
uses an RC circuit, a microammeter and a capacitance potential divider. The potential divider
has a ratio of 1200:1 and the micrometer can read up to 10 µA. Determine the value of R and
C if the time constant of RC circuit is 8 secs.
