The primary difference between overhead and underground transmission lies in their physical placement and the equipment required.

• Overhead Transmission: This method uses conductors suspended by tall towers or poles. It is the most common form of long-distance transmission because it is generally more affordable to install and easier to maintain. However, overhead lines are more susceptible to weather-related outages (e.g., storms, ice) and require a large right-of-way. Ningbo Changshi specializes in manufacturing the OHTL wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment and overhead tools and accessories necessary for this type of construction.

• Underground Transmission: This method involves laying insulated cables within trenches, tunnels, or conduits. It is often used in urban areas or environmentally sensitive regions where aesthetics and space are a concern. Underground systems are more resilient to weather but are significantly more expensive to install and repair due to the specialized nature of the work. Our company provides a complete suite of underground cable laying equipment and tools to support these complex projects.

The movement of electricity from where it's generated to where it's used is a well-defined process with four main stages:

• Generation: Electricity is produced at a power plant using various energy sources like coal, natural gas, wind, or hydropower. The electricity is generated at a relatively low voltage.

• Transmission: To transport electricity over long distances with minimal loss, its voltage is "stepped up" using a transformer at a transmission substation. It is then sent across the country via high-voltage transmission lines. Ningbo Changshi provides the OHTL wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment that is critical for building these long-distance power arteries.

• Distribution: When the electricity reaches a local area, it arrives at a distribution substation. Here, a transformer "steps down" the voltage to a lower, safer level. The electricity then travels through local distribution lines to neighborhoods, where it is further reduced in voltage by smaller transformers before reaching individual homes and businesses. Our underground cable laying equipment is often used in this stage for urban areas.

• Consumption: This is the final stage where the electricity powers homes, factories, and commercial buildings.

Substations and transformers are essential for the entire transmission process. They act as the "gatekeepers" of the electrical grid, regulating voltage levels to ensure safe and efficient power delivery.

• Step-Up Transformers: Located at generation sites or transmission substations, these transformers increase the voltage from a low level (e.g., 20 kV) to a very high level (e.g., 500 kV or more). This allows the electricity to be transmitted over hundreds or thousands of kilometers with significantly reduced energy loss.

• Step-Down Transformers: Found at distribution substations and on local power poles, these transformers do the opposite. They decrease the voltage from the high transmission levels to a safe and usable voltage for homes and businesses (e.g., 120V in the U.S.).

Our company provides a wide range of Overhead Tools and Accessories that are crucial for the construction, maintenance, and safe operation of these substations and transformers.

The electrical grid is a complex, interconnected network of facilities that work in harmony to deliver power. The key components include:

• Power Plants: Where the electricity is generated.

• Transmission Lines: The high-voltage cables, often suspended on large towers, that transport electricity over long distances.

• Substations: The hubs of the grid, containing transformers and other equipment to manage voltage and direct the flow of power.

• Distribution Lines: The local power lines that carry electricity from substations to homes and businesses.

At Ningbo Changshi, we specialize in providing the comprehensive, one-stop supply of tools and equipment needed to build, maintain, and upgrade all parts of this vital infrastructure, ensuring a reliable flow of electricity around the world.

Electricity transmission is the bulk transfer of electrical energy from power plants to distant substations. It's like the motorway system of the electrical grid, carrying large amounts of power at extremely high voltages over long distances.

Distribution, on the other hand, is the delivery of that power from local substations to homes, businesses, and factories. Think of it as the local road network that brings the power to the end consumer.

Our company, Ningbo Changshi, provides a full range of equipment and tools for both of these critical stages, including OHTL wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment for long-distance transmission and underground cable laying equipment for local distribution networks.

High-voltage transmission lines are essential for efficiency. Electricity naturally loses energy as it travels over long distances, primarily in the form of heat. By dramatically increasing the voltage, the current (I) can be reduced, which in turn minimizes these energy losses. According to the formula for power loss, P_loss = I²R, a small reduction in current results in a significant decrease in wasted energy, making long-distance transmission economically and environmentally viable.

Substations are the hubs of the electrical grid, and transformers are the key devices within them.

• Step-up Transformers: Located at or near power plants, these transformers increase the voltage of the generated electricity to a high level for efficient long-distance transmission.

• Step-down Transformers: Situated at local distribution substations, these transformers reduce the voltage to a lower, safer level that can be delivered to communities and eventually to individual buildings.

Ningbo Changshi manufactures and exports the specialized tools required for the construction and maintenance of these vital components, ensuring the grid operates reliably and safely.

Electricity transmission is inherently not 100% efficient due to physical laws. Energy is lost as it travels through conductors, primarily because no material is a perfect conductor. The main causes of this power loss are:

• Resistive Losses (Joule heating): This is the most significant form of loss. As current flows through a power line, the conductor's resistance causes a portion of the electrical energy to be converted into heat, which dissipates into the air. This loss is proportional to the square of the current (Ploss=I2R).

• Corona Losses: On high-voltage lines, the intense electric field can ionize the air around the conductors, creating a faint, glowing discharge known as a corona. This phenomenon consumes energy and is more common in humid weather or rain.

• Leakage and Inductive/Capacitive Losses: Minor losses can also occur due to current leaking through insulators or energy being stored and released by the magnetic fields created around the AC power lines.

At Ningbo Changshi, we understand that minimizing these losses is crucial. Our overhead transmission line equipment and high-quality conductors are designed to help reduce these losses and improve overall grid efficiency.

Improving transmission efficiency is a major focus for the entire power industry. Companies address this in several key ways:

• Increasing Voltage: This is the most effective method. By using step-up transformers to raise the voltage for long-distance transmission, the current is drastically reduced. According to the power loss formula (Ploss=I2R), this action significantly cuts down on resistive losses.

• Using Superior Conductors: The choice of material and design for power line conductors is critical. We provide equipment to install conductors with larger diameters or bundled conductors, which reduce resistance and help minimize corona discharge.

• Adopting Advanced Technology: Modern solutions like High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems are more efficient for transmitting power over very long distances and submarine cables compared to traditional High-Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) systems. Additionally, smart grid technologies use sensors and monitoring tools to optimize power flow in real-time, preventing bottlenecks and reducing overall losses.

Our company's products are integral to these solutions, helping our customers build and maintain a more efficient and reliable power grid.

Energy loss in electricity transmission refers to the electrical energy that is converted into unusable forms, primarily heat, as it travels from power plants to consumers. This loss is an unavoidable physical phenomenon because all conductors have some level of electrical resistance. It is often referred to as a "line loss." At Ningbo Changshi, our goal is to provide high-quality equipment that helps minimize these losses and maximize the efficiency of your power grid.

There are two main types of technical losses in power transmission:

• Resistive Losses (or Joule Losses): This is the most significant type of loss. As electricity flows through a conductor, its inherent resistance causes the conductor to heat up. This heat is a form of lost energy and is proportional to the square of the current and the resistance of the conductor (Ploss=I2R). Our overhead transmission line equipment is designed to use high-quality, low-resistance materials to help mitigate this effect.

• Corona Losses: This occurs on high-voltage lines, where the strong electric field ionizes the air around the conductor. This ionization produces a faint glow, hissing sound, and ozone gas, all of which consume electrical energy. Corona losses are more pronounced in wet or humid conditions and can be minimized by using specialized conductors and accessories, which are part of our product offerings at Ningbo Changshi.

An electrical feeder is a power line that distributes electricity from a substation to a localized area, like a neighborhood or an industrial park. The key difference is the voltage level and purpose. Transmission lines, which typically operate at very high voltages (e.g., 69kV to over 750kV), are designed to transport large amounts of power over long distances from generating stations to substations. Feeders operate at lower voltages (typically below 69kV) and are a part of the local distribution network, bringing power to the final consumers. At Ningbo Changshi, we provide a full range of equipment and tools for both high-voltage overhead transmission line (OHTL) projects and for the installation and maintenance of underground cable feeders and distribution networks.

An electrical feeder system consists of several crucial components, including conductors (the cables themselves), insulators, and support structures such as poles or towers for overhead lines, and conduits

Electrical transmission facilities are the backbone of the power grid, responsible for moving electricity from generating stations to local distribution substations. The primary components include:

• Transmission Lines: The wires (conductors) that carry electricity over long distances. They can be installed overhead on tall towers or underground in specialized conduits.

• Substations: Key hubs in the grid where voltage is transformed—stepped up for long-distance travel and stepped down for local distribution.

• Towers and Poles: The structural supports for overhead transmission lines.

• Switchgear and Transformers: Equipment within substations used to manage voltage, control power flow, and protect the system from faults.

Ningbo Changshi offers a comprehensive array of equipment and tools essential for building and maintaining all these components, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the entire system.
