Energy Transmission Line Types

  • High Voltage Lines:

    • It is used to transmit electricity over long distances.
    • It generally operates at voltage levels of 110 kV and above.
    • High voltage is used to reduce energy losses.

  • Medium Voltage Lines:

    • It operates at voltage levels ranging from 1 kV to 36 kV.
    • Carries energy to local distribution networks.

  • Low Voltage Lines:

    • Operates at voltage levels below 1 kV.
    • Ensure energy distribution to the end user (home, workplace, etc.)

Components

    • Transmission Lines: Overhead or underground lines used to transport energy.
    • Substations: It distributes high voltage energy by reducing it to low voltage.
    • Poles Structures supporting the lines.
    • Cables Conductors that conduct electricity.

     

Productivity:
  • Minimization of energy losses through the use of high voltage.
Wide Coverage:
  • Energy transportation to remote residential areas.
Reliability:
  • Ensuring continuous and uninterrupted operation of the electrical system.
