How can power line losses be reduced, and what role does equipment play?
2025-08-12Answer: Reducing power line losses is crucial for improving grid efficiency and sustainability. Several strategies are employed:
-
Increasing Transmission Voltage: Transmitting electricity at higher voltages reduces the current for the same amount of power (P=VI), which significantly decreases I²R losses.
-
Using High-Quality Conductors: Selecting conductors with low resistance, such as ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced), is essential.
-
Proper Line Maintenance: Regular maintenance prevents damage to conductors and insulators that can lead to energy leakage.
At Ningbo Changshi, we provide the tools and equipment that are vital for executing these strategies. Our OHTL equipment and underground cable tools ensure that high-quality conductors are installed with the precise tension and clearances required to minimize sag, maintain proper phase spacing, and ultimately reduce I²R and corona losses. We help ensure the reliability and efficiency of your electrical infrastructure from the ground up.
