Chapter-3: Transmission Line Parameters By: Jemal M. (M.Sc. in Power Engineering)

This document discusses transmission line parameters. It introduces transmission lines and their importance for transmitting electric energy over long distances at high voltages to reduce losses. It discusses the typical configurations of single and double circuit transmission lines. It then covers various factors that affect the resistance of transmission lines like skin effect, temperature effect, spiraling, bundling and proximity effect. It provides details on bundled conductors and their benefits. Finally, it discusses inductance of single conductors and transposed lines.

INTRODUCTION
The electric energy produced at generating stations is transported over
high-voltage transmission lines to utilization points.
The trend toward higher voltages is motivated by the increased line
capacity while reducing line losses per unit of power transmitted.
The reduction in losses is significant and is an important aspect of
energy conservation. Better use of land is a benefit of the larger
capacity.
The transmission and distribution of three-phase electrical power on
overhead lines requires the use of at least three-phase conductors.
Most low voltage lines use three-phase conductors forming a single
three-3 phase circuit.
Cont..
Many higher voltage lines consist of a single three-phase circuit or
two three-phase circuits strung or suspended from the same tower
structure and usually called a double-circuit line.
The two circuits may be strung in a variety of configurations such as
vertical, horizontal or triangular configurations.
Figure 3.1 illustrates typical single-circuit lines and double-circuit
lines in horizontal, triangular and vertical phase conductor
arrangements.
A line may also consist of two circuits running physically in parallel
but on different towers.
In addition, a few lines have been built with three, four or even six
three-phase circuits strung on the same tower structure in various
horizontal and/or triangular formations.

Bundled phase conductors are usually used on transmission lines at 220 kV and above.
These are constructed with more than one conductor per phase separated at regular
intervals along the span length between two towers by metal spacers.
Conductor bundles of two, three, four, six and eight are in use in various countries.
The purpose of bundled conductors is to reduce the voltage gradients at the surface of
the conductors because the bundle appears as an equivalent conductor of much larger
diameter than that of the component conductors.
This minimizes active losses due to corona, reduces noise generation, e.g. radio
interference, reduces the inductive reactance and increases the capacitive susceptance
or capacitance of the line.
The latter two effects improve the steady state power transfer capability of the line.
