Study Notes
Overhead Lines
- Insulators in overhead lines are used to support and separate the conductors, preventing electrical shock and short circuits.
Conductor Material Properties
-
The conductor material used for transmission and distribution of electric power should have high conductivity and low resistance to minimize energy loss.
-
The conductor material used for transmission and distribution of electric power should NOT have high reactivity or corrode easily to ensure long-term reliability.
Cross Arms and Phase Plates
-
Cross arms in overhead lines are used to support and maintain the spacing of the conductors, providing mechanical strength and stability to the transmission line.
-
Phase plates in overhead lines are used to identify the phase of the conductor, ensuring correct connections and avoiding phase mismatches.
