Several key factors influence transmission efficiency:

• Resistive Losses (I²R losses): The most significant source of loss is the resistance of the conductors. As current flows, it generates heat, and this energy is lost. The longer the transmission line and the higher the current, the greater the losses.

• Conductor Material and Design: The choice of conductor material (e.g., aluminum, copper, or advanced composite conductors) and its cross-sectional area directly impacts its resistance. We provide a wide range of conductors and stringing equipment designed to minimize resistance and optimize performance.

• Voltage Level: Transmitting power at a higher voltage dramatically reduces the current for the same amount of power, thereby decreasing resistive losses. This is why our equipment is designed to support high-voltage transmission lines.

• Reactive Power: Unmanaged reactive power, which is necessary to maintain voltage but does no useful work, increases the total current flowing through the lines, leading to higher I²R losses.

• Aging Infrastructure: Outdated equipment and aging conductors can increase resistance and contribute to inefficiency. Our advanced tools and equipment are essential for the modernization and maintenance of power grids.
