Best Answer

To reduce the electric field intensity at the surface of the conductor which can lead to corona discharge and insulation breakdown. By using bundled conductors, the electric field is distributed between the four (in the case of 400-kV lines) conductors, thus reducing the field intensity per conductor.

If a conductor placed in electric field is there any emf induced in the conductor?

one condition for the above question is either conductor or magnetic field must be rotating.considering rotating field and stationary conductor,the magnetic flux will be cut up by conductor resulting in the induced emf in the conductor.


What is the difference between overhead transmission line and under ground transmission line?

Um. One is hung above your head on telephone poles and the other is ran underground in conduit? Unless you meant something else? Also burying cable costs ~10 times as much for transmission lines as overhead. It also usually has a lower power carrying capability, since it cannot dissipate heat as readily as an overhead conductor.


How do you reduce radiation loss in transmission lines?

Transmission loss reduce by using 1) higher diameter conductor (R = q l / a) or specially maded low loss conductors 2) using energy efficient equipment such as low loss transformer 3) twisted conductors instead of solid 4) proper monitoring and control of transmission eqipment 5) use of high temperature super conductors ....etc

Charge and volts which one is conductor?

Neither charge nor volts is a conductor. These are terms for electricity, the movement of electrons along a conductor. A conductor is the medium that carries the charge and a volt is the amount of electrical 'pressure' which is being carried. A conductor is generally a wire of other copper (sometimes carbon, sometimes aluminum or some other metal) but could be any other material. could be anything resistor, capacitor, ac/dc converter, microchip etc. they all conduct electricity by the method above, altering the properties of the energy.

Is there a ground wire on the 150 ft towers you often see around the US?

Yes. Almost all electrical transmission systems have a ground wire as the topmost conductor. You can usually see it above the 3 phase conductors. It does not form part of the transmission system, rather it is there for lightning protection. The towers themselves are grounded too.
