SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT ELECTRICAL SAFETY?


The coming 2 pages will explain the importance of safety in day to day use and while performing
OBJECTs in lab. Afterwards Safety Precautions are given which Must!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be
followed while using any electric circuit and performing OBJECTS In Lab.
Using Electricity and Electrical Appliances properly can help us avoid injury

01 Careless use of electric-powered appliances or tools can cause Injuries.


02 Shocks caused due to contact with electric current passing through wires, appliances or tools.
To avoid shock do not touch live wires and always wear rubber shoes.

03 Fire resulting from over-heated wires, appliances or electric fixtures. So always use wires and
electrical devices with correct specifications to avoid heating. The thicker wire is required to
carry large current.

Following are some safety measures which should always be followed while working with electric
system.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 6/69

Carefully observe all safety measures to keep yourself safe.


01 Always shut off power to a circuit or device that you will be working on. This is the first thing you
should do before working on any electrical circuit.

02 After turning a circuit OFF, it's a good idea to check it again to be sure even it is OFF. Never
assume that the circuit is OFF!

03 If any part of the device is damaged, it should not be used and get repaired immediately.
04 Never attempt electrical repairs or rewiring without proper experience. Always inform your
supervisor and consult supplier.

05 All tools and electric equipments should be unplugged when not in use and stored in dry areas.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 7/69

06 Tools and components must be clean and in good condition, with no cracks or exposed wires.
Never use a patch chord whose wires are exposed. Use of such types of patch chords can
cause shock and severe injuries.

07 Avoid direct contact with the floor. Always wear rubber sole shoes. The rubber that you're
wearing will prevent the electricity from creating complete circuit using your body as a path to the
ground.
08 Always refer user manual of the equipment under use
09 Never use electrical devices or circuits if they are wet.

10 Use three-pronged plugs instead of two-pronged ones. The third prong (below the top two)
"grounds" the appliance. When a device is grounded, if it fails, the circuit will blow out
immediately instead flowing to other places. So, whenever possible, use appliances that have
three prongs unless it is stated in user manual to use 2 Pronged Plugs or provided with the
equipment. Always refer user manual of the equipment under use. Electricity cannot travel
through rubber. So, while using equipments that are potentially faulty or not grounded (no three-
pronged plugs), wear strong rubber gloves.

11 Wires should never be run under carpets, wooden blocks, wet areas because if wire heats due
to over current, It may fuse and cause fires.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 8/69

12 Chords should be firmly plugged into outlets - if the cord is loose it can cause spark and can
damage the instrument.

13 Do not pull the cord. Always turn off the machine and then pull the plug. In this way, you keep
your electrical appliances in working order and avoid a possible short circuit.

14 It's dangerous to put too many plugs into an outlet. Most household extension cords and wall
adapters will only allow you to place up to six plugs to an outlet. If you use more than six plugs,
the risk of power overloads and fires due to the wires getting too hot increases.

Till Now we have learned to follow the safety rules while using Electrical Circuits and Power Supplies.

Now, What to do in case of Electrical Accident?


Do not endanger yourself- If the victim is still in contact with the electrical current, you must be
careful to avoid being shocked yourself.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 9/69

SELF PRECAUTIONS TO SAVE THE VICTIM


01 Do not touch the victim. The current can pass through you also and you will not be in a
position to help the victim.
02 Do not touch the source of electricity.
Immediate action to be taken
Break the current. Before you can do anything else, you must get the victim free from the current.
There are two ways to do this:

01 Shut off the current at the power box. Turn off the current at the circuit breaker or fuse box. This
is the preferred option.
02 If no shut off is immediately available, use a non-conducting item to move the victim, such as a
wooden broomstick, blanket, or rope. If they are holding onto a wire or other conductor, attempt
to knock their hand(s) free with a wooden or non conducting stick or dry towel.
IMMEDIATELY CALL AN AMBULANCE OR DOCTOR TO START THE VICTIM’S TREATMENT.

If the victim is unconscious, check to see if he is breathing and have a pulse. Electric shocks may
knock the person unconscious, halt their breathing, and stop the heart. If the victim is not breathing,
apply artificial breathing.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 10/69

Do not attempt to move the victim unless they are in further danger. Other injuries may have occurred
that you are unaware of.

Cover the victim in a blanket and stay with him until help arrives. Do not leave him alone. Take steps
to prevent the severity of shock.
Read the following safety instructions carefully before operating the instrument. To avoid any
personal injury or damage to the instrument or any product connected to the instrument.
Do not operate the instrument if you suspect any damage within or the supply is not within
below specified limits

Observe input supply : To avoid any unexpected things, check whether single phase or
three phase balanced supply appears correctly.

THEORY
An electric power system is a network of electric components used to supply, transmit and use
electric power. Power system can be broadly divided into:
01 Generation system
02 Transmission system
03 Distribution system

01 Generation system:-
Electric power generating stations are used to provide bulk electric power economically. Power can
be generated using different methods. According to the method used for power generation, power
generating stations can be of following types:-
01 Steam power generation station
02 Hydro power generation station
03 Diesel power generation station
04 Nuclear power station
05 Gas turbine power station

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 12/69

Hydro power generation station

Steam power generation station

Gas turbine power station

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 13/69

Diesel power generation station

Nuclear power station


Transmission system:
Transmission system carries the power from generator centre to load centre. Electric-power
transmission is the bulk transfer of electrical energy, from generating power plants to electrical
substations located near demand centers. Transmission lines when interconnected with each other,
form transmission network. Most transmission lines use high-voltage three-phase alternating current
(AC), although single phase AC is sometimes used in railway electrification systems. Electricity is
transmitted at high Voltages (110 kV or above) to reduce the energy lost in long-distance
transmission.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 14/69

Distribution systems:-
Distribution systems feed the power to nearby homes and industries. These systems are simply
formed by the local wiring between high voltage substation and customers.

Electric power transmission line or "high voltage electric transmission" is the bulk transfer of
electrical energy, from generating power plants to substations located near to population centers.
This is distinct from the local wiring between high voltage substations and customers, which is
typically referred to as electricity distribution.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 15/69

Transmission Line

In many electric circuits, the length of the wires connecting the components can be ignored for the
most part. That is, the voltage on the wire at a given time can be assumed to be the same at all
points. However, when the voltage changes in a time interval comparable to the time it takes for the
signal to travel down the wire, the length becomes important and the wire must be treated as a
transmission line. Stated another way, the length of the wire is important when the signal includes
frequency components with corresponding wavelengths comparable to or less than the length of the
wire.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 16/69

Current carrying transmission line consist,


01 Both Electric and Magnetic fields are present in the transmission lines. These fields are
perpendicular to each other
02 Electric field is established by a potential difference between two conductors implies equivalent
circuit model must contain capacitor.
03 Magnetic field induced by current flowing on the line implies equivalent circuit model must
contain inductor.
Means transmission line can be considered as made up of four electrical constants:
L - series inductance per unit length
R - series resistance per unit length
C - shunt capacitance per unit length
G - shunt conductance per unit length

The line voltage V(x) and the current I(x) can be expressed in the frequency domain as

v(x)
= - (R+JωL) I (x)
x

i(x)
= - (G+JωC) V (x)
x

When the elements R and G are negligibly small the transmission line is considered as a lossless
structure. In this hypothetical case, the model depends only on the L and C elements which greatly
simplify the analysis. For a lossless transmission line, the second order steady-state Telegrapher's
equations are:

 2 V(x)
+ ω2 LC . V (x) = 0
x 2

2Ix
+ ω2 LC . I (x) = 0
x2
These are wave equations which have plane waves with equal propagation speed in the forward and
reverse directions as solutions. The physical significance of this is that electromagnetic waves
propagate down transmission lines and in general, there is a reflected component that interferes with
the original signal. These equations are fundamental to transmission line theory.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 17/69

If R and G are not neglected, the Telegrapher's equations become:

2 Vx
=  2 V (x)
x 2

2Ix
=  2 I (x)
x 2

Where

 = R+jL  G+jC 
And the characteristic impedance is:

R+jL
Z0 =
G+j C

The solutions for V(x) and I(x) are:

V(x) = V + e- x + V - e x

I(x) =
1
Z0 
V + e- x - V - e x 
The constants V ± and I± must be determined from boundary conditions. For a voltage pulse Vin (t),
starting at x = 0 and moving in the positive x-direction, the transmitted pulse Vout(x,t) at position x

can be obtained by computing the Fourier transform, V(ω), of Vin (t), .

Characteristic Impedance:
Characteristic impedance of a finite length of line at a given frequency can be derived by taking two
impedance measurements, one with the open circuited end and the other with the short circuited end.
From these, Zo can be calculated as:

Zo = √ (Zoc*Zsc)
Zsc= short Circuit impedance
Zoc= open circuit impedance
Propagation Constant:

 = R+jL  G+jC =  + j

 = the attenuation (loss) factor

 = the phase (velocity) factor

We can also find it in the form of Zoc and Zsc by following formula
γ = √ (Zoc/Zsc)

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 18/69

Parameters:
ABCD Parameter:
In the model or transmission model, we assume V1 and I1 are known, and find V2 and I2 by:

Where V1 and I1 are the input voltage and current respectively and V2 and I2 are the output voltage
and current respectively
V1 = A V 2 + B I 2
I1 = C V2 + D I2
First short circuit the output terminal then V2 becomes zero i.e
B = V 1 / I2 where V2 =0.
D = I1 / I 2 where V2 =0
Now open circuit the output terminal then,
A = V1 / V2 where I2 =0
C = I1 / V 2 where I2 =0
Here A and D are dimensionless coefficients, B is impedance and C is admittance.
H- Parameter: If ABCD parameters are known, then we can easily find “H” parameters by using
following formulas:
H11 = B/D
H12 = (AD – BC)/D
H21 = - 1/D
H22 = C/D
Here H12 and H21 are dimensionless coefficients, H11 is impedance and H22 is admittance.
Z -Parameter: By using ABCD parameters, we can easily get Z parameters by using following
formulae.
Z11= A/C
Z12 = (AD – BC)/ C
Z21 = 1/C
Z22 = D/C
Where Z11, Z12, Z21, Z22 are all impedance.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 19/69

Image Parameters: The characteristic impedance Zo and the propagation constant. Z0 is the
impedance at the input terminals of the two-port network when the output terminals are matched
(terminated by load impedance Z0). The propagation constant ρ is the natural logarithm of the ratio
(I1/I2), where I1 and I2 are the matched condition terminal currents.
01 Characteristic Impedance Zo
02 Propagation Constant
Characteristic Impedance Zo = √ (Zsc * Zoc)
Propagation Constant ρ = √ (Zsc/Zoc)
Classification of line
Transmission lines are classified as short, medium and long. When the length of the line is less than
about 80Km, the effect of shunt capacitance and conductance is neglected and the line is designated
as a short transmission line.
For medium transmission lines the length of the line is in between 80km - 240km.In this case the
shunt capacitance can be assumed to be lumped at the middle of the line or half of the shunt
capacitance may be considered to be lumped at each end of the line. The two representations of
medium length lines are termed as nominal-T and nominal- π respectively.
Lines more than 240Km long are known as long transmission lines. This classification on the basis of
length is more or less arbitrary and the real criterion is the degree of accuracy required.
Short Transmission Line: Up to 80 Km

Medium Transmission Line: 80- 240 Km

Long Transmission Line: More Than 240 Km

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 20/69

Short Transmission line: As shown in fig.

In this experiment the capacitances are very small, on the order of 1μF using the equation for the
reactance of a capacitor.
Xc= 1/jwC
This gives an impedance of about 3.2 K ohm which can be considered an open since it is much
greater than any other impedances in this experiment, so the previous diagram?

Equivalent circuit
The equivalent circuit and vector diagram of a short transmission line are shown in the figure
given below? In the equivalent circuit, short transmission line is represented by the lumped
parameters R and L. R is the resistance (per phase), L is the inductance (per phase) of the entire
transmission line. Effect of shunt capacitance and conductance is not considered in the equivalent
circuit. The line is shown to have two ends: sending end (designated by the subscript S) at the
generator, and the receiving end (designated R) at the load.
Here Vs is the sending end voltage corresponding to a particular load current and power factor
condition. It can be seen from the equivalent circuit that the receiving end voltage under no load is
same as the sending end voltage under full load condition i.e. Vr (no load) = Vs.
Where R and X are the per unit values of resistance and reactance of the line, from the equivalent
circuit diagram we can observe that
Vs = Vr + Ir (R + jX) = Vr + IrZ.
Is = Ir
In a four terminal passive network the voltage and current on the receiving end and sending end are
related by following pair of equations
Vs = AVr + BIr
Is = CVr + DIr
Comparing the above two sets of equations, for a short transmission line A=1, B=Z, C=0, D=1. ABCD
constants can be used for calculation of regulation of the line as follows:

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 21/69

A=1
B=Z
C=0
D=1

Medium Transmission Line: The capacitance of medium transmission line is significant. When the
effect of capacitance is not negligible, it may be assume to be concentrated at one or more definite
point along the line. A number of localized model are used to make approximate line performance
calculations. The following models are commonly used.
01 Nominal T model
02 Nominal Pi Model
It should be noted that the nominal T and Pi model are not equivalent representation. They are
different representation of different line.
Nominal T model of a medium line: In nominal T model of a medium line, the total capacitance is
assumed to be concentrated at the middle point of the line, while the series impedance is split into
two equal parts. The nominal T model of medium line is shown below.

01 Short Circuit the Output Terminal:

We know that for a two port network


Vs= A*Vr + B*Ir
Is = C*Vr + D*Ir

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 22/69

Apply the KVL in first loop, we get


Vs – Is*R – XL*Is – XC*(Is - Ir) = 0 (1)
(Ir - Is)*XC – Ir*R – XL *Ir = 0 (2)
Where XL= j ωL
XC = 1/jωC
Is = input current and Ir = output current
Now by using equation (1) and (2) we can find the value of Is and Ir
B = Vs/Ir
D = Is / Ir
02 Open Circuit the Output Terminal:

Circuit can be made as follow

Apply KVL in above circuit


Vc = Vr = Vs + VL (because of inductive kickback effect)
Now we get the value of Is, Vs, Vr then
A = Vs/Vr
C = Is / Vr
Why the receiving end voltage is greater than the generator voltage can be easily understand by
inductive Kickback effect.
Inductive Kickback effect: When we apply voltage source across the series LC circuit then
capacitor start charging and the voltage across the inductor is equal to Vs-Vc, where Vs is input
voltage and Vc is capacitor voltage shown in figure. So a current begins to flow through the inductor
and charges the capacitor. During this time, current is flowing into the positive end of the inductor,
therefore power is flowing into the inductor and energy is being stored here and the capacitor voltage
gradually increases as it charges.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 23/69

When capacitor voltage becomes equal to the output voltage of the transformer, Vc =Vs, and the
voltage across the inductor is zero for an instant Vb=0. However, current is still flowing in the circuit
because the current through an inductor cannot change because property of inductor is that it
opposes the change in current.
In order to do this the voltage across the inductor changes its polarity. Current is now flowing out of
the positive end of the inductor. This current continues to charge the capacitor to a voltage in excess
of the transformer output voltage. The capacitor voltage goes higher than the transformer voltage
because the voltage across the inductor adds to the transformer voltage.

Pi Model of a medium line: The nominal pi model of a medium line assumes that one half of the
total line capacitance is concentrated at each end of the line and the total resistance and inductive
reactance are concentrated on the line. Nominal pi model is shown in figure.

01 Short Circuit the Output Terminal:

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 24/69

We can also draw it in this way

Apply the KVL in first loop


Vs – (Is – Ir) XC = 0 (3)
Applying the KVL in second loop, we get
– (Ir - Is)*XC – 2(R + XL) Ir = 0 (4)
XL = jωL
XC = 1/jωC
By using these equation (3) and (4) we have the value of Is and Ir
So the value of B and D parameters of medium transmission line by Pi model is given as
B = Vs / Ir
D = Is / Ir
02 Open Circuit the Output Terminal:

Vr = Vs + VL1 + VL2

Now we have Vr, Is, Vs then the remaining parameter can be calculated by using following formulas
A = Vs / Vr
C = Is / Vr

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 25/69

Long Transmission Line: The term long transmission line refers to the line having its length more
than 240 Km. The capacitance of long transmission line is more than the capacitance of medium and
short transmission line, 400Km long transmission line model is shown in fig.

Transmission Line Equations for a Lossy Line (sinusoidal waves)

Ferranti Effect: Long transmission line has a larger capacitance. If such line is open circuited or very
lightly loaded at the receiving end, the magnitude of the voltage at the receiving end become higher
than the voltage at the sending end. This phenomenon is called Ferranti effect. It was first noticed by
Ferranti on overhead line supplying a lightly loaded network, Ferranti effect occurs due to the
charging current of the line.

Charging Current: The value of current at the sending end at no load and normal operating
voltage applied at the sending end is called charging current-?
Proof: Ferranti effect can be explain by considering a normal pi model of the line. Following diagram
OE represent the receiving end voltage, OH represent the current Ic1 through the capacitor C/2 and
voltage Ic1*R across the resistor R as shown by EF. It is in phase with Ic1. The voltage drop across X
is (Ic1*X). It is represented by phasor FG which leads the phasor Ic1 by 90 degree. The phasor OG
represent the sending end voltage Vs under no-load condition. It is seen from the phasor diagram that
Vs<Vr. In other words, the voltage at the receiving end is greater than the voltage at the sending end
when the line is at no load.
In practice the capacitance of the line is not concentrate at some definite points. It is distributed
uniformly along the whole line.

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 26/69

For a nominal Pi model of line:.


Vs= [1 + ZY/2]Vr + ZIr

At no load, Ir = 0
Vs = [1 +ZY/2]Vr
Vs-Vr = ZY/2Vr
Z = (r + j ω L)S , Y= j ωCS
If the resistance of the line is neglected,
Z=j ωLS
Vs – Vr = [(j ω LS) (j ωCS) Vr]/2
= - [(ω 2 * S2) LC *Vr]/2……. (1)
Equation (1) shows that Vs -Vr is negative. That is Vr>Vs, this equation also shows that Ferranti
effect depends on frequency and electrical length of the line.
01 Open Circuit the Output Terminal:

If we measure the voltage at output terminal, then we get more voltage than the sending voltage. This
is because of Ferranti effect.
Now measure the input voltage, input current and output voltage Vs, Is, Vr. By using these values, we
can calculate
A = Vs / Vr
C = Is / Vr
02 Short Circuit the Output Terminal:

By measuring the input current, input voltage and output current (Vs, Is, Ir)
By using these values we can find B and D parameter of transmission line
B = Vs / Ir
D = Is / Ir

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 27/69

Performance of transmission line under different loads: Performance of transmission line can be
determined by calculating the power factor of transmission line under different load.
What is Power Factor? To understand power factor, we will first start with the definition of some
basic terms:
KW is Working Power (also called Actual Power or Active Power or Real Power). It is the power that
actually powers the equipment and performs useful work.
KVAR is Reactive Power. It is the power that magnetic equipment (transformer, motor and relay)
needs to produce the magnetizing flux.
KVA is Apparent Power. It is the vector sum of KVAR and KW.
For example Mac here is dragging a heavy load. Mac's Working Power (or Actual Power) in the
forward direction, where he most wants his load to travel, is KW. Unfortunately, Mac can't drag his
load on a perfect horizontal (he would get a tremendous backache), so his shoulder height adds a
little Reactive Power, or KVAR. The Apparent Power Mac is dragging, KVA, is this vector summation
of KVAR and KW.

The Power Triangle (next figure) illustrates this relationship between KW, KVA, KVAR,

P.F = KW / KVA = COS Ø


KVAR / KVA = SIN Ø
KVA = √ (KW 2 + KVAR2) = KV * I * √3
How and why Should we Improve Power Factor?
We have seen that sources of Reactive Power (inductive loads) decrease power factor:
01 Transformers
02 Induction motors
03 Induction generators (wind mill generators)
04 High intensity discharge (HID) lighting

Tesca Technologies Pvt. Ltd. www.tesca.in


46585 – Electrical Transmission Line Trainer 28/69

Similarly, consumers of Reactive Power increase power factor:


01 Capacitors
02 Synchronous generators (utility and emergency)
03 Synchronous motors
Thus, it comes as no surprise that one way to increase power factor is to add capacitors to the
system.
Installing capacitors (KVAR Generators)
Installing capacitors decreases the magnitude of reactive power (KVAR or foam), thus increase the
power factor. How it works is shown in figure. Reactive power (KVARS), caused by inductive loads,
always act at a 90-degree angle to working power (KW).

25 Induced Voltage: A voltage produced in a circuit from a nearby electric field.
26 Inductance: the characteristic of an electric circuit by which a voltage is induced in it by a
variation of current. This can be a variation of the current in the circuit itself (self-inductance) or
in a nearby circuit (mutual inductance). The magnitude of the characteristic is measured in the
units of Henries.
