Conductors used in high tension over-head transmission lines are

Electrical Engineering MCQ on Power Transmission Conductors used in high tension over-head transmission lines are: Correct answer: 1. Stranded Explanation: Solid wires are only used in rare cases when area of X-section is trivial (smaller). Application of solid wires for larger X-section and longer spans in impractical. Since it would produce mechanical fatigue and they … Read more

The bundled arrangement reduces

Electrical Engineering MCQs on Power Transmission The bundled arrangement reduces: Correct answer: 4. All of these Explanation: Bundled conductors refers to the use of multiple conductors per phase rather of one single conductor per phase. One of the major advantage of using bundled conductors is its ability to reduce corona discharge. In case a single … Read more
