Question

With respect to DC transmission system select the INCORRECT statement. 

A.

The DC voltage cannot be stepped up with zero spikes for transmission of power at high voltages. 

B.

It requires only two conductors as compared to three for AC transmission.

C.

Electric power can be generated at high voltage without any commutation problems

D.

There is no inductance, phase displacement and surge problems in DC transmission

Answer ( Option C)

Electric power can be generated at high voltage without any commutation problems

Solution

In DC transmission system :

Advantage :

1. Only two conductor required.

2. Absence of inductance capacitance and phase displacement.

3. No skin effect.

4. No stability problem.

5. A dc line has less corona  loss and reduced interference with communication circuit.

Disadvantage :

1. Generating of power at high DC voltages is difficult due to communication problems and cannot be usefully utilized consumer ends.

2. Step up or step down transformation of dc voltages is not possible in equipment line transformer.

Hence, the correct option is (C).
