10 Questions
What are the goals of transmission line design?
To develop a simple model for transmission lines
What are the most common methods for transfer of electric power?
Overhead (AC or DC) and Underground (AC or DC)
What does ACSR stand for in the context of transmission line conductors?
Aluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced
Why has aluminum replaced copper as the most common conductor metal for overhead transmission?
Lower cost, lighter weight, and more supply of aluminum available
What does ACSR consist of?
Layers of aluminum strands surrounding a central core of steel strands
An overhead transmission line consists of conductors, insulators, support structures, and shield wires in most cases.
True
ACSR stands for Aluminum Core Steel-Reinforced.
False
Aluminum has replaced copper as the most common conductor metal for overhead transmission due to its heavier weight.
False
The most common methods for the transfer of electric power are Overhead AC, Underground DC, and Overhead DC.
False
The ACSR conductor type consists of layers of aluminum strands surrounding a central core of steel strands.
True
