Lecture 10b - Distributed Parameters Single Phase Ex 1&2
A surge with the characteristics shown travels down an overhead line towards a cable that has a
resistive termination. The circuit, illustrated below, has the following characteristics:
Calculate:
(a) Plot the voltage at the 200 Ohm load resistor, Point 2, as a function of time for
a time period of 10 microseconds after the disturbance hits the junction
between the overhead and underground cable.
(b) Plot the voltage at the junction of the overhead and underground cable, point 1, as
a function of time for a time period of 10 microseconds after the disturbance hits
the junction between the overhead and underground cable.
(c) Verify the results in (a) and (b) using an EMTP simulation. Include your code and
plots of the voltage at Point 1 and Point 2.

The single-phase 12.47kV (line-to-line) circuit shown below is energized at the peak of the voltage
cycle. The remote end is connected to a 500 Ohm load. The pre-insertion resistor has a value of 300
Ohms. The cables have the following characteristics:
(b) Plot the voltage at the junction of the overhead and underground cable, point B, as a
function of time for a time period of 3.0 microseconds after the switching operation occurs.
