Discuss the effect of transmission line parameters on the performance of transmission line .

1 Answer

Answer :

Following are the effect on performance of transmission line: 

1. Due to resistance (R), voltage drop in transmission line produces

2. Due to resistance (R), copper losses in transmission line produces.

3. Due to inductance (L) voltage drop in transmission line produces.

4. Capacitor (C) draws charging current through transmission line. This charging current produces additional copper losses & voltage drop in transmission line.

5. Due to above reasons, transmission line efficiency gets affected

6. voltage regulation of transmission line gets affected

7. Also power factor of transmission line gets affected
