Answer: The primary types of power loss in transmission lines are:

• Resistive (I²R) Losses: This is the most significant type of loss, caused by the inherent resistance of the conductors, which dissipates energy as heat.

• Corona Losses: Energy dissipated as a result of the Corona Effect.

• Inductive and Capacitive Losses: These are caused by the magnetic and electric fields generated by alternating current, leading to energy dissipation.

These losses can be minimized by:

• Increasing Transmission Voltage: This is the most effective method, as it directly reduces resistive losses.

• Optimizing Conductor Design: Using conductors with a larger cross-sectional area or bundle conductors to reduce resistance and the Corona Effect.

• Selecting High-Quality Materials: Employing materials with low resistance and advanced insulation.

As a leading manufacturer of power line equipment, we at Ningbo Changshi are experts in providing the tools and hardware necessary to build and maintain high-efficiency transmission lines that minimize these losses.
