in order to reduce the transmission line losses we need low impedance...

Low impedance also improves power transfer capacity of the line..

What is characteristics impedance?

The characteristic impedance or surge impedance belongs to a uniform transmission line, usually written Z0. It is the ratio of the amplitudes of a single pair of voltage and current waves propagating along the line in the absence of reflections.


What are the methods to improve the surge impedance loading of transmission lines?

By increasing Vr,Reducing in series inductance,increase capacitance


Calculations on input impedance of a transmission lines?

I assume you are wanting to know about balancing networks to a transmission line? If this is the case, you really need to get a book on networks and filters. The physical makup of the transmission line will impact this calculation. The basic idea is you want to match the impedance at the input (looking out of the transmission line) to the same impedance as the transmission line (say 50 or 75 ohms for typical coax), and the output impedance (looking out of the transmission line) to the same as well. This will result in maximum power transfer, minimum power reflection. If you want to know how to make a balancing filter to a transmission line, then you need to design the filter according to your requirements - chebyshev, minimum ripple, wide band, narrow band, etc; You may need to use transformers to isolate the transmission line from your power circuitry, and use this as a matching network. You could also use transistors to accomplish similar things (less isolation, though), depending on what you're trying to do.


What is the function of a earth wire in transmission line?

The earth conductor is not normally used for communications, but the line conductors frequently are. Often 'communications' has nothing to do with telephone conversations, but more to do with data transmission - usually related to protective systems for the lines themselves. To prevent these communications signals from straying to other parts of the electrical transmission/distribution network, the ends of the conductors used for this purpose are fitted with inductors which offer a high impedance to the high-frequency communications signals, effectively blocking the signals from going further into the network.


Why do you expect an infinity line to have an input impedance equal to the caractarictic impedance?

The characteristic impedance of a transmission line is the ratio of voltage to current of the propagating electrical wave. The line input impedance is the result of the superposition of forward and reverse, or reflected waves when the terminating impedance is not adapted. If the line is infinite, nothing returns from its end and only the forward wave exits. The voltage to current ratio is then the line characteristic impedance. Remark that the same occurs when the line is terminated by its characteristic impedance, the forward wave finds a perfect continuity to the load and no energy is reflected back to the line. A matched line is like an infinite line when looked from the input terminals. Long real lossy lines also act as infinite lines for the energy of the reflected wave is dissipated along the line before reaching the source.

Why ohm's law is not applicants in high power transmission lines?

It's applicable anytime you have a combination of any three: charge, voltage, current, power, or impedance.

Disconnecting transmission lines 96 jeep?

You can disconnect the 1996 Jeep transmission lines with a 9/16 open end wrench. Be prepared for transmission fluid to come out of the transmission lines.


How can you replace the lines that carry transmission fluid to the transmission?

if you are asking about the cooling lines for the transmission that connect to the radiator, its easy. first disconnect the lines from the radiator (2 lines, usually on the bottom opposite the radiator outlet) then disconnect the lines from the transmission. remove the brackets holding them on, then remove.


How does surge impedance effect on transmittion line?

The SIL=(KV LL / Zo), where the V(LL) is the receiving end voltage in kV and Zo is the surge impedance in ohms. when the line is loaded over its SIL, it behaves like a shunt reactor - absorbing Mvar from the system, and when is loaded less its SIL it behaves like a shunt capacitor, supply Mvar back to the system. So to increase the Surge Impedance Loading (SIL), we need to decrease the the surge impedance of the line, and that can be done by introducing series capacitors (capacitors in series with the transmission line) or shunt capacitors (capacitors in parallel with transmission lines), which means providing Mvar to the system and reducing the Mw. hopefully that helps


What is the purpose of hidden lines and center lines?

The purpose of hidden lines is to represent edges that are not directly visible. The purpose of center lines is to represent the axes of circular features.
