Electrical Engineering MCQ on Power Transmission

The total diameter of a three-layer ACSR conductor is 5 cm. The diameter of each strand will be

  1. 1 cm
  2. 1.5 cm
  3. 5.5 cm
  4. 6.8 cm

Correct answer: 1. 1 cm

Explanation:

Mathematical formula for total diameter of an ACSR conductor D = (2x-1)*d

Where in above equation

  • D =Total diameter
  • x = Number of layers
  • d = diameter of each strand

Therefore,

5 = (2*3-1)*d

d = 1 cm
