  1. A two conductor 1 – φ line operates at 50 Hz. The diameter of each conductor is 4cm and are spaced 6 m apart. What is the capacitive susceptance to neutral per km?
    1. 1.42 × 10–9 s/km
    2. 3.25 × 10–8 s/km
    3. 4.8 × 10–9 s/km
    4. 3.06 × 10–9 s/km
Correct Option: D

Here, D = 6m, r = 2 cm = 2 × 10-2m

∴ Cn =
2πε0
=
1
In(D/r)
18 × 109In
6
2 × 10-2

=
1
18 × 109In
3
0.01

= 9.74 × 10-9F/k m
Capacitive susceptance to netural
bc =
1
= 2π. ƒ. Cn
Xc

= 2π × 50 × 9.74 × 10-9 s/km
= 3.06 × 10-9s/k m
