  1. Consider a step voltage wave of magnitude 1 pu travelling along a lossless transmission line that terminates in a reactor. The voltage magnitude across the reactor at the instant the travelling wave reaches the reactor is
    1. – 1 pu
    2. 1 pu
    3. 2 pu
    4. 3 pu
Correct Option: A


E(s) = 1/S [step voltage wave having magnitude 1 p.u.]
Voltage across the inducter is,

V(s) =
E(s)
=
E(s)
LS
Zc + LSZc + LS

V(s) =
1
S +
Zc
L

Taking inverse Laplace transform, we get v(t)
v(t) = e(-zc/L)t
At
t = 0
v(t) = 1 p.u.
