3.5. Determine the capacitance and charging current per unit length of the line when the arrange-
ment of the conductor is shown in Fig. P.3.5. The line is completely transposed.

The dia of conductor is 15 mm, and operating voltage is 220 kV.
3.6. A 3-phase double circuit line is shown in Fig. P.3.6. The diameter of each conductor is 2 cm.
Determine the capacitance and charging current per km length of the line, assume that the line
is transposed and the operating voltage 220 kV.

3.7. Determine the capacitance and charging current per km length of the double circuit 3-phase line
as shown in Fig. P.2.8. The transmission line is transposed within each circuit and each circuit
remains on its own side. The dia of each conductor is 15 mm and operating voltage 220 kV.
