TRANSMISSION LINES
A transmission line is used for the transmission of electrical power from
generating substation to the various distribution units. It transmits the wave of
voltage and current from one end to another. The transmission line is made up
of a conductor having a uniform cross-section along the line. Air act as an
insulating or dielectric medium between the conductors.

CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSMISSION LINES
1. Overhead transmission lines
• Short transmission lines
• Medium transmission lines
• Long transmission lines
2. Underground cables
5

OVERHEAD POWER LINE
An overhead power line is a structure used in electric power transmission and
distribution to transmit electrical energy along large distances. It consists of
one or more conductors (commonly multiples of three) suspended by towers or
poles. Since most of the insulation is provided by air, overhead power lines are
generally the lowest-cost method of power transmission for large quantities of
electric energy.
6

SHORT TRANSMISSION LINES
• Line voltage is less than 20KV
• Length of transmission line is up to about 80Km
• Capacitance effect are small or negligible
7

MEDIUM TRANSMISSION LINES
• Line voltage is moderately high.
• It is greater than 20KV but less than
100KV.
• Length of lines is about 50 Km to
150Km.
• Capacitance is significant.
8

LONG TRANSMISSION LINES
• Line voltage is very high (>100KV).
• Length of an overhead line is more than 150Km.
• Line constants are considered uniformly
distributed over the whole length of the line.

NOMINAL “T” METHOD
Nominal “T” Method : In this method, the whole line capacitance is assumed to
be concentrated at the middle point of the line and half the line resistance & reactance
are lumped on its either side as shown in fig. There fore in this arrangement full
charging current flows over half the line. In fig one phase of 3 phase transmission line
is shown as it is advantageous to work in phase instead of line to line values

NOMINAL “T” MODEL OF A TRANSMISSION LINE
Here,
Series impedance of the line Z = R + jX
Shunt admittance of the line Y = jwc
Receiving end voltage = Vr
Receiving end current = Ir
Current in the capacitor = Iab
Sending end voltage = Vs
Sending end current = Is
Sending end voltage and current can be obtained by application of KVL and KCL. to the circuit
shown below
Current in the capacitor can be given as,

NOMINAL “PI” MODEL OF A MEDIUM TRANSMISSION LINE
In the nominal pi model of a medium transmission line, the series
impedance of the line is concentrated at the centre and half of each
capacitance is placed at the centre of the line. The nominal Pi model
of the line is shown in the diagram below

Phasor diagram of nominal pi model

The phasor diagram of a nominal pi-circuit is shown in the figure below.
It is also drawn for a lagging power factor of the load. In the phasor diagram the quantities
shown are as follows;
OA = Vr – receiving end voltage. It is taken as reference phasor.
OB = Ir – load current lagging Vr by an angle ∅r.
BE = Iab – current in receiving-end capacitance. It leads Vr by 90°.
The line current I is the phasor sum of Ir and Iab. It is shown by OE in the diagram.
AC = IR – voltage drop in the resistance of the line. It is parallel to I.
CD = IX -inductive voltage drop in the line. It is perpendicular to I.
AD = IZ – voltage drop in the line impedance.
OD = Vs – sending–end voltage to neutral. It is phasor sum of Vr and IZ.
The current taken by the capacitance at the sending end is Icd. It leads the sending–end
voltage Vs by 90
OF = Is – the sending–end current. It is the phasor sum of I and Icd.
∅s – phase angle between Vs and Is at the sending end, and cos∅s will give the sending-end
power factor.

UNDERGROUND TRANSMISSION LINES
Undergrounding is the replacement of overhead cables providing electrical
power or telecommunications, with underground cables. This is typically
performed for aesthetic purposes, but also serves the additional significant
purpose of making the power lines less susceptible to outages during high wind
thunderstorms or heavy snow or ice storms. Undergrounding can increase the
initial costs of electric power transmission and distribution but may decrease
operational costs over the lifetime of the cables.
23

CLASSIFICATION OF UNDERGROUND CABLES
 BY VOLTAGE
• LT cables: Low-tension cables with a maximum capacity of 1000 V
• HT Cables: High-tension cables with a maximum of 11KV
• ST cables: Super-tension cables with a rating of between 22 KV and 33 KV
• EHT cables: Extra high-tension cables with a rating of between 33 KV and 66 KV
• Extra super voltage cables: with maximum voltage ratings beyond 132 KV
 BY CONSTRUCTION
• Belted cables: Maximum voltage of 11KVA
• Screened cables: Maximum voltage of 66 KVA
• Pressure cables: Maximum voltage of more than 66KVA

ADVANTAGES OF UNDERGROUND CABLES
• Low chances of developing faults.
• Low maintenance cost.
• Not influenced by environmental conditions.
• More durable in comparison to overhead transmission lines.
• Underground cables are more safer fore mankind.
• Requires a narrow band of length to install.
25

DISADVANTAGES OF UNDERGROUND CABLES
• Very expensive. It costs four times the overhead lines.
• Repairing of underground cables is not easy and it takes more time
to repair than overhead lines.
• Maintenance cost is also very high.
