Inductance of Single Phase Two Wire System: A Inductance of Single Phase Two Wire System consists of two parallel conductors which form a rectangular loop of one turn. When an alternating current flows through such…
Flux Linkage: The inductance of a circuit is defined as the flux linkage per unit current. Therefore, in order to find the inductance of a circuit, the determination of flux linkage is of primary importance.…
Skin Effect in Transmission Lines: Skin Effect in Transmission Lines - When a conductor is carrying steady direct current (d.c.), this current is uniformly distributed over the whole X-section of the conductor. However, an alternating…
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 finding these Constants of a…
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 strength of the line should…
Sag in Overhead Transmission Lines: While erecting an Sag in Overhead Transmission Lines, it is very important that conductors are under safe tension. If the conductors are too much stretched between supports in a bid…
Corona: When an alternating potential difference is applied across two conductors whose spacing is large as compared to their diameters, there is no apparent change in the condition of atmospheric air surrounding the wires if…
String Efficiency of Insulator: As stated above, the voltage applied across the string of suspension insulators is not uniformly distributed across various units or discs. The disc nearest to the conductor has much higher potential…
Potential Distribution Over Suspension Insulator String: A string of suspension insulator consists of a number of porcelain discs connected in series through metallic links. Fig. 8.10 (i) shows 3-disc string of suspension insulator. The porcelain…
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 earth through supports i.e., line…
