Circuit Constants of a Transmission Line

Circuit Constants of a Transmission Line: In any four terminal network, the input voltage and input current can be expressed in terms of output voltage and output current. Incidentally, a…

Long Transmission Line Voltage

Long Transmission Line Voltage: It is well known that line constants of the transmission line are uniformly distributed over the entire length of the line. However, reasonable accuracy can be…

Medium Transmission Line Voltage

Medium Transmission Line Voltage: In short transmission line calculations; the effects attic line capacitance are neglected because such lines have smaller lengths and transmit power at relatively low voltages (<20…

Line Support

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 :…

Introduction to Overhead Line

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

Economic Choice of Transmission Voltages: It has been shown earlier here that if transmission voltage is increased, the volume of con­ductor material required is reduced. This decreases the expenditure on…
