A 240-kV power transmission line carrying 5.00 x 10 2 A is hung from grounded metal towers

Question:

A 240-kV power transmission line carrying 5.00 x 102 A is hung from grounded metal towers by ceramic insulators, each having a 1.00 x 109 -Ω resistance. Figure 21.49.

(a) What is the resistance to ground of 100 of these insulators?

(b) Calculate the power dissipated by 100 of them.

(c) What fraction of the power carried by the line is this? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategies for Series and Parallel Resistors.

Ground conductor Insulators each provide 1.00  10 2 Resistance 240kV, 500A Transmission Line
