Constants of a Transmission Line: A transmission line has resistance, inductance and capacitance uniformly distributed along the whole length of the line. Before we pass on to the methods of…
Mechanical Principles in Transmission Lines: Mechanical Principles in Transmission Lines design should depend to some extent on the importance of continuity of operation in the line under consideration. In general, the…
Types of Insulators in Transmission Lines: The overhead line conductors should be supported on the poles or towers in such a way that currents from conductors do not flow to…
Line Support: The supporting structures for overhead line conductors are various types of poles and towers called line support. In general, the line supports should have the following properties :…
Conductor Material Used for Transmission and Distribution: The conductor is one of the important items as most of the capital outlay is invested for it. Therefore, proper choice of material…
Introduction to Overhead Line: Electric power can be transmitted or distributed either by means of underground cables or by overhead line. The underground cables are rarely used for power transmission…
Economic Choice of Transmission Voltages: It has been shown earlier here that if transmission voltage is increased, the volume of conÂductor material required is reduced. This decreases the expenditure on…
Comparison of Various Systems of Transmission: Below is given the table which shows the ratio of conductor-material in any Comparison of Various Systems of Transmission with that in the corresponding…
