AC Distribution System
AC Distribution System: A system where electrical energy is distributed among the consumers from generating stations or substations in the form of AC is an AC distribution system. In other…

Transposition of Line: The transmission line transmits a bulk amount of power at high voltages. e high power and voltage of these transmission lines give rise to electromagnetic and electrostatic fields….
Continue readingVoltage Control
Voltage Control: In power system networks, while supplying power through a transmission line, we keep the voltage constant at the sending end. The voltage at the receiving end undergoes a…
Continue readingInterconnected Power Stations
Interconnected Power Stations: In order to supply loads from two or more power stations, they are interconnected such that there is no overloading and loads are shared equally. In this…
Continue readingTypes of Cable Installation
Types of Cable Installation: Generally, the cable installation depends on the types of cable to be used and installation conditions. Here we will discuss the types of cable installation. There…
Continue readingSkin Effect
Skin Effect: Skin effect is the tendency of alternating current (AC) to flow on the outer surface of the conductor. It especially takes place at a higher frequency. Skin refers…
Continue readingFerranti Effect
Ferranti Effect: Ferranti effect is prominent in medium or long transmission lines. When these lines are open-circuited at the receiving end or are under lightly loaded conditions then the receiving…
Continue readingSurge Impedance Loading
Surge Impedance Loading: Surge impedance loading or the natural loading of the line is defined as the load that can be delivered by a line having no resistance (loss-less line)….

Transmission lines having lengths between 80 km and 200 km are medium transmission lines. They operate between 20 kV and 100 kV. The overhead transmission lines are classified as short,…
Continue readingWhat is Short Transmission Line?
Short transmission lines have lengths lesser than 80 km and operate on a voltage level lower than 20 kV. The overhead transmission lines are classified as short, medium, and long…
