Why is energy lost in power transmission lines?
Increase the voltage in the lines.
What is distance protection in high voltage transmission lines?
your mothers gash
Why transmission is done on 11kv and 33kv?
High voltage reduces the amount of energy wasted in transmission lines.
Why are power lines more dangerous than the electricity wires in your home?
Higher voltage and effectively unlimited current.house wiring is 120V to 240Vneighborhood distribution power lines are 1000V to 5000Vcity and industrial distribution power lines are 20,000V to 50,000Vintercity high tension transmission power lines are 100,000V to 1,000,000V
Why do you use multiples of11 as voltage in transmission lines?
Because the value form factor is 1.1 that's why transmission line voltage is always in a multiple of eleven.
How can measure the voltage only seeing the insulators in a high voltage transmission lines?
i think 11kv per insulator
To reduce power losses in transmission lines the voltage is made?
Much higher.
Why are transformers used for transmission of electricity into your home?
The voltage provided by power company are higher what your home uses so transformers step down the voltage for your house. Higher voltages in your home would cause a potential safety hazard. The higher voltages on transmission lines are used to cope with voltage drops over long distances.
What size of earth wire can be used in wiring system?
You will need to look up cabling/wiring codes.Is it:Telephony,Audio distribution,110 volt power lines, orHigher voltage power lines?
What voltage are electrical lines coming into a house in England?
The electrical lines to a typical house in the UK are 230 V 50 Hz.
What is length of the towers that is used on transmission lines?
That is depends on the factor of sag and clearance required. And also on the level of voltage transmission used.
Why overhead transmission lines would be more economical than underground transmission lines in high voltage transmission?
Overhead wires do not require insulation, and it is easier to plant poles than dig miles of trenches.
