Wavelength, λ = 2π = 2π = 4947.39 km β 0.00127 ∴ Ratio = Line length = 300 km = 0.0606 wavelangth 4947.39 km
∴ % Ratio = 6.06%Correct Option: D

- A two machine power system is shown below. Transmission line XY has positive sequence impedance of Z1 Ω and zero sequence impedance of Z0 Ω.
An ‘a’ phase to ground fault with zero fault impedance occurs at the centre of the transmission line. Bus voltage at X and line current from X to F for the phase ‘a’, are given by Va Volts and Ia Amperes, respectively. Then, the impedance measured by the ground distance relay located at the terminal X of line XY will be given by
