How are insulators and conductors used for nuclear energy?

Generally the same ways they are used in other types of power plants.


What are the different types of conductors used in transmission?

Overhead transmission lines use steel-cored stranded aluminium conductors. The steel supplies the necessary tensile strength, as aluminium is relatively weak. Copper is not generally used as it is significantly more expensive than aluminium.


In what types of products are conductors used?

Conductors are used in every electrical product and device that is manufactured. Without the conductors there would be no path for the electricity to travel.


Why dampers are used at the end of tower in transmission lines?

To 'damp' vibrations in the conductors.


What are the components used for trnsmission lines?

There are no component is used in transmission line . the used things are- conductors for transmitting power to one place to another place. insulator for separate these conductors and some other basic things are required necessary for net of transmission line.


How Transformer reduce the power transmission cost?

Energy transmission is not possible without transformers. Therefore, transformers are an integral part of the transmission system. High voltages achieved using transformers result in lower currents which, in turn, allow conductors of smaller cross-sectional area to be used with transmission lines. In this sense, transformers might be thought of as 'reducing the cost of energy transmission', but as its impossible to transmit energy without transformers this is of academic interest only.


What is pg clamps in transmission line?

pg clamp is known for parallel groove clamp,especially used in transmission line to hold transmission conductors in parallel.


Hollow conductors in transmission line used to?

To reduce skin effect.CommentHollow conductors are not used on electricity transmission lines. Transmission-line conductors are normally manufactured of stranded aluminium conductors, wound around a steel-wire core. The steel core improves the conductor's tensile strength.Hollow conductors are, though, used as 'wave guides' in radio-frequency circuits. However, their purpose is not to reduce skin effect (in which most of the current flows close to the surface of the conductor), but to save copper -if most of the current flows close to the surface, then there's little point in using solid copper!AnswerHollow conductors are used on very high voltage underground cables, which are cooled by passing oil or gas through the conductors.


Does capacitance exist between two thin current-carrying conductors Explain?

The conductors of the transmission line act as a parallel plate of the capacitor and the air is just like the dielectric medium between them.A capacitor is a device used to store electrical charge and electrical energy.

What is the difference between bundled conductors and composite conductors?

Bundled conductors are used to reduce the effect of corona. As in place of a single conductor. two conductors are used in parallel the voltage gradient build up is less and thus the ionisation of the surrounding air is decreased. Therefore the effect of corona is reduced.


What should you do if you used the wrong transmission fluid?

Drain out the transmission fluid and replace with the correct fluid. Some types of transmission fluid are incompatible with other types of tranmssion fluid or with the transmission itself, and can destroy your transmission.
