Q1.	The surge resistance of cable is
A.	5 ohms [Wrong Answer]
B.	20 ohms [Wrong Answer]
C.	50 ohms [Correct Answer]
D.	100 ohms [Wrong Answer]
View Answer 12 -15 Explanation:- Answer : C Discuss it below : Satish gupta Said on 2021-08-29 01:40:13 The value of Surge resistance for underground cable is around 40 ohm. So here most appropriate answer will be option C (50 ohm). Whereas for overhead transmission line is around more than 400 ohm. For detailed and clear concept follow the very good article published by Electrical-Technology All about Surge impedance and surge impedance loading (SIL) Maheshlovelyluky Said on 2020-07-07 03:18:14 Who prepares the cost of estimation? !!
