What is sag in power system?

2 Answers

Answer :

Sag is defined as the different in level between the point of suppor and the lowest point of the conductor.

Answer :

Sag is a catenary curve in between two points of supporters.and also we can say the lowest point of the conductor in between the two points of supporters.
