Surge Impedance Loading or SIL - Definition, Formula

Surge Impedance Loading or SIL - Definition, Formula Surge Impedance Loading or SIL - Definition, Formula What is Surge Impedance Loading? Surge Impedance Loading or SIL is the power demand or load supplied by the transmission line having no resistance by considering unity load power factor. Explanation of Surge Impedance Loading or SIL In case of transmission line surge Impedance Loading is depends on inductance and capacitance of the transmission line. Formula of Surge Impedance Loading or SIL Formula of Surge Impedance Loading or SIL Where, L - Inductance of transmission Line             C - Capacitance of transmission Line   Surge Impedance Loading is independent of the transmission line length.  In this case I^2 X of the transmission line provides charging kVA of the transmission line. SIL or Surge Impedance Loading can also be given as below formula: Formula of Surge Impedance Loading or SIL Formula of Surge Impedance Loadin

Selection and Specifications Of Transmission Line

Selection and Specifications Of Transmission Line Selection and Specifications Of Transmission Line Following factors are affecting the selection and specifications of transmission lines: ✓ Size of transmission conductors ✓ Spacing and distance between conductors ✓ Insulator types ✓ Insulation co-ordination ✓ Voltage regulation ✓ Power losses ✓ Voltage level of transmission line ✓ Tower designs ✓ Clearance levels ✓ Noise emission ✓ Corona loss ✓ Weather conditions e.g. temperature, wind etc. ✓ Mechanical strength of selected conductors ✓ Air pollution In high temperature regions, conductor material chosen for transmission line should  have higher temperature coefficient of resistance. Wind load affects the sag clearance putting more pressure on transmission lines. Mechanical strength of selected conductors should be higher to avoid breaking of conductor due  to wind pressure or increase in temperature etc. Moisturised air or polluted air causes chemical
