2.1 A Schering-bridge was used to determine the dielectric constant and loss factor of a 1 mm thick Bakelite sheet at 50 Hz using a parallel-plate electrode configuration. The electrode effective area is 100 cm2. At balance, the bridge arms are AB: test object, BC: std, capacitor = 100 pF. CD: variable capacitor in parallel with resistor 50 nF and 1000/π Ω DA: variable resistance 62.0 Ω. Determine the dielectric constant K and loss factor tan β. (10)
2.2 A lightning surge incident on an overhead transmission line of impedance 800 Ω approaches a substation through a cable of impedance 80 Ω. Determine what portion of the lightning surge voltage reaches the substation equipment. (5)
