What are the different types of transmission lines?
2025-08-12Answer: transmission lines can be classified based on their voltage, length, and physical location.
-
Based on Voltage: transmission lines are categorized as High Voltage (HV), Extra High Voltage (EHV), and Ultra High Voltage (UHV), with each class having a specific voltage range.
-
Based on Length: They are also classified as Short, Medium, and Long lines, with the analysis of each type considering different electrical parameters.
-
Based on Physical Location:
-
Overhead Transmission Lines: These are the most common type, with conductors suspended in the air by towers.
-
underground Transmission Lines: Insulated cables that are buried in trenches or tunnels, typically used in densely populated urban areas or for short distances where overhead lines are not feasible.
-
Submarine Cables: A specialized type of underground cable laid on the seabed to connect power grids across bodies of water.
