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 effects on transmission lines leading to damage. Towers are giving mechanical support to the transmission lines.

Useful Electrical Articles Must Read:

Non proper design of tower leads to failure or damage to the transmission lines. Voltage level decides the size of transmission line conductors used for transfer of power.

Insulators are needed to be proper size and rating. If it is not there it leads to flashover  of and braking transmission line conductors.

Proper spacing and distance between conductors should be maintains other it leads to short circuit during operations or working.

Basic Insulation Level (BIL) should be maintained. Improper insulation co-ordination leads to failure of transmission lines in case of faults.

Larger power losses affect the efficiency and performance of transmission lines. So transmission line conductors should have low resistance.

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik...

Variable Inductance Transducer | Classification Of Variable Inductance Transducer

Variable Inductance Transducer | Classification Of Variable Inductance Transducer Variable Inductance Transducer | Classification Of Variable Inductance Transducer These are based on a change in the magnetic characteristic of an electrical circuit in response to a measurand which may be displacement, velocity, acceleration etc. Variable inductive transducer may be classified as follows: 1.Self-generating type In this type voltage is generated because of the relative motion between a conductor and a magnetic field. These may be further classified as follows: (A)Electromagnetic type (B)Electrodynamic type (C)Eddy current type 2.Passive type In this type the motion of an object results in change in the inductance of the coils of the transducer. These may be further classified as follows: (A)Variable reluctance (B)Mutual inductance (C)Differential transfer type 1.Self-generating Type (A)Eleotromagnetic t...
