Economic Choice Of Conductor in Transmission Line Design

Economic Choice Of Conductor in Transmission Line Design

Economic Choice Of Conductor in Transmission Line
Economic Choice Of Conductor in Transmission Line Design

Conductors used should have following electrical and physical properties:

  • Chosen conductor must have high conductivity.
  • In must have large tensile strength.
  • It must have large corrosion resistance characteristics.
  • It needs to have large melting point and good thermal stability.
  • It has good ductile property.

Following conductor material are most commonly use for transmission line :

  1. Hard drown copper
  2. Aluminium
  3. Aluminium conductors steel reinforced  (ACSR)

In india, ACSR Conductors are more commonly used. From 1990 onwards, America, Australia and few european countries starts using All aluminium alloy conductor (AAAC).

  • AAAC consists of aluminium, boron, silicates etc. As a main component material.

Size of the conductor chosen depends on following factors :

  • Length of the transmission line
  • Voltage drop
  • Load demand
  • Voltage level
  • Allowable temperature limit
  • Current carrying capacity
  • Charging current
  • Losses in the transmission line

For a reference (constant) loss of energy, cross section of  the conductor and itd weight is inversely proportional to the square of the voltage of the transmission line.

For higher voltage level, area of Cross section of conductor chosen is less.

Value of charging currents depends on the voltage level. For higher voltage level, the value of charging current required is power.

Table 1, in general provides approximate dimensions, weights, resistance and breaking strength of ACSR as per BS215: Part 2, 1956

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

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor Basic Detail Of Microprocessor The  microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using either a large scale(LSI) or very large scale integration(VLSI) technique. The microprocessor is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. In large computers, the central processing unit(CPU) performs these computing functions and it is implemented on one or more circuit boards. The microprocessor is in many ways similar to the CPU, however, the microprocessor includes all the logic circuitry(including the control unit)on one chip. The microprocessor consists of the following three segments which is shown in below diagram. Block Diagram of Microproce

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement Definition of Instrumentation The technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called “ instrumentation ". What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement When the instruments are used for the measurement and control of industrial manufacturing , conversion or treatment processes, the term process instrumentation is applied. When the measuring and controlling instruments are combined so that measurements provide impulses for remote automatic action, the result is called a control system. Modes of Measurement There are the three modes of measurement: 1. Primary Measurement 2. Secondary Measurement 3. Tertiary Measurement All the three modes are described below: (1) Primary Measurements In the primary measurement sought value of a parameter is determined by comparing it directly with reference standar
