Introduction
The transmission line system is designed to transmit bulk electric power for consumption at the load centres Generation station generate power at 11kV ~ 30kV step up the voltage before transmit it The power transmitted over a transmission line is proportional to the square of the transmission voltage must have highest possible voltage on transmission line
Introduction
High voltage DC (HVDC) transmission line is used for transmitting power at distance more than 600km
More economical
Introduction
From the transmission line/grid, the voltage level is first being stepped down at sub-transmission level (range 132 kV 66kV) At distribution substation, voltage level is stepped down at two voltage level: 11 kV at primary and 415 V (3phase supply) or 230 V (1-phase supply) .
AROUND TOWN & RESIDENTIAL AREA Underground distribution to individual premises is at 415V and 240 V
Low voltage less than 1000 volts, used for connection between a residential or small commercial customer and the utility. Medium Voltage (Distribution) between 1000 volts (1 kV) and to about 33 kV, used for distribution in urban and rural areas. High Voltage (subtransmission less than 100 kV; subtransmission or transmission at voltage such as 115 kV and 138 kV), used for sub-transmission and transmission of bulk quantities of electric power and connection to very large consumers. Extra High Voltage (transmission) over 230 kV, up to about 800 kV, used for long distance, very high power transmission. Ultra High Voltage higher than 800 kV.
Aluminium conductor is normally used as the overhead transmission line for the following reason:
Lighter Cheaper Large conductor size for the same resistance value of copper conductor-reduce corona effect Abundant supply of aluminium
ACSR (cont..)
Aluminium co-efficient expansion is 104 times of that copper sag is greater in aluminium conductors Steel cored Aluminium (ACSR) wire is used to compensate this property of Aluminium The steel conductors used are galvanised in order to prevent rusting and electrolytic corrosion ACSR is available with varying percentages of steel core to achieve different strengths, example: 54AL/19St, 54AL/7St, 54AL/7St
