Name of the activity Collect the information on components of transmission line. Introduction The term Transmission Lines broadly refers to overhead transmission lines and underground cables. The key function of a transmission line is to transfer bulk power between generation sources and load centres. In India, generation voltage is generally 11 kV but for power transmission 33 KV, 66 KV, 110 KV, 132 KV, 220 KV, 400 KV and 765 kV are used. Transmission voltage in India (highest) is 765 KV AC and these lines are erected by Power Grid Corporation for interstate connections throughout India. Transmission Lines are made up of various components, namely poles, lattice structures, conductors, cables, insulators, foundations and earthing systems. These components are described in more details below— Transmission Lines Components Ø Transmission Line Structures The primary functions of transmission line structures are to provide mechanical support to cond...
