What is Transmission line?
Transmission lines are the conductor lines that are used to transfer electricity from one place to another. It carries the high voltage current from one substation to another according to different voltage levels. There are different types of transmission lines according to various factors like voltage drop, transmission efficiency, power loss, conductor type, and many more. They are very important in our life as they deliver power to our houses and many more areas.
Main Functions of Transmission Lines
- Power Transmission: Here high voltage AC lines are used to carry electricity from power plants to substations.
- Signal Transmission: Here high frequency cables are used to transport the signal such as radio waves over both short and long distances.
Key Characteristics of Transmission Lines
- Wave Nature: As we get electrical energy over a long distance the current acts as a wave and is in wavy nature.
- High Voltage: All the Transmission lines operate at high voltage.
- Minimizing Power: Transmission lines are used to efficiently transmit electricity.
