1. For the given circuit diagram for the substation the voltage between the two outer conductors is
__________

Answer: B
Clarification: The maximum voltage levels between the two outer conductors is double the supply fed to it and the its rms is √2 V.

2. For the given circuit diagram for the substation fed with 315 kV, the voltage between the two outer conductors is ____________
A. 445.5 kV
