Distribution System Connection: All Distribution System Connection of electrical energy is done by constant voltage system. In practice, the following distribution circuits are generally used 1.Radial System: In this system,…
Overhead vs Underground System: The distribution system can be Overhead vs Underground System. Overhead lines are generally mounted on wooden, concrete or steel poles which are arranged to carry distribution…
DC Distribution System: It is a common knowledge that electric power is almost exclusively generated, transmitted and distributed as a.c. However, for certain applications, d.c. supply is absolutely necessary. For…
Performance of Three Phase Short Transmission Line: For reasons associated with economy, transmission of electric power is done by Three Phase Short Transmission Line. This system may be regarded as…
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…
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…
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 :…
Comparison of AC Transmission and DC Transmission: The electric power can be transmitted either by means of d.c. or a.c. Each system has its own merits and demerits. It is,…
