Answer: Electricity loss is primarily caused by the natural resistance of power lines, which converts electrical energy into heat. This is known as resistive loss (I²R loss), and it is the single largest component of technical losses. Other factors include:

• Distance: The longer the distance electricity travels, the greater the resistance and, therefore, the more energy is lost.

• Voltage Level: Higher voltages reduce the current (I) required to transmit power, which drastically reduces resistive loss (since it's proportional to the square of the current).

• Conductor Material and Size: The type and thickness of the wires used in power lines affect their resistance. Using high-quality materials and appropriately sized conductors is crucial for efficiency.

• Corona Discharge: At very high voltages, the air around power lines can ionize, leading to a visible glow and a small loss of energy.

Our specialized tension stringing equipment and tools are designed to work with the most advanced conductors, helping to ensure a stable and efficient power grid that minimizes these losses.
