  1. A three phase 50 Hz line consists of three conductors each of diameter 21 mm. The spacing between the conductors as follows: A – B = 3m, B – C = 5m, C – A = 3.6 m
    If the line operates at 132 kV, the reactive voltampere generatd by the line per km is _______kVAr
    1. 51703 VAr.
    2. 5.1703 VAr.
    3. 517.03 VAr.
    4. 5170.3 VAr.
