(b) A transmission line conductor with weight per unit of 1.55 kg/m is installed between two towers with height of 40 m and 80 m respectively, above a flat ground. The horizontal distance between the towers is 600 m while the tension of the conductor is 1550 kg. (i) Determine the distance of support between both towers to the lowest point of the conductor. (ii) Calculate the sag of both towers (iii) Estimate the minimum clearance from lowest point of conductor to ground level. (iv) Evaluate the clearance between mid-points of conductor to ground level.
Short Transmission Line
A short transmission line is a transmission line that has a length less than 80 kilometers, an operating voltage level of less than 20 kV, and zero capacitance effect.
Power Flow Analysis
Power flow analysis is a topic in power engineering. It is the flow of electric power in a system. The power flow analysis is preliminary used for the various components of Alternating Current (AC) power, such as the voltage, current, real power, reactive power, and voltage angles under given load conditions and is often known as a load flow study or load flow analysis.
Complex Form
A power system is defined as the connection or network of the various components that convert the non-electrical energy into the electric form and supply the electric form of energy from the source to the load. The power system is an important parameter in power engineering and the electrical engineering profession. The powers in the power system are primarily categorized into two types- active power and reactive power.
