Transmission Line Theory & Vocabulary

The parameters of a transmission line are Resistance (R), Inductance (L), Capacitance (C) and Conductance (G). Resistance (R) is defined as the loop resistance per unit length of the wire. Its unit is ohm/Km.  Inductance (L) is defined as the loop inductance per unit length of the wire. Its unit is Henry/Km. Capacitance (C) is defined as the loop capacitance per… Read More »

HVDC & AC TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Generally there are two power transmission and distribution systems that are used to transmit electrical energy i.e. HVDC or High Voltage Direct Current transmission system and HVAC or High Voltage Alternating Current transmission system. Now let’s see the advantages and disadvantages of both power distribution systems. COMPARISION OF HVAC & HVDC SYSTEMS HVAC transmission is… Read More »
