The square root of the ratio of line impedance and shunt admittance is called the___________?
Correct answer: A. surge impedance of the line
- A. surge impedance of the line
- B. conductance of the line
- C. regulation of the line
- D. none of the above
Explanation
The quantity √(Z/Y), where Z is series impedance and Y is shunt admittance per unit length, is the surge or characteristic impedance of a transmission line. Conductance is only the real part of shunt admittance.
