ya its very simple.

Due to the high potential, there is a greater electric field developed around the conductors. This field ionizes the air present around the conductors. Due to the air to being ionized, the current wants to flow around it. So the sparking occurs. Which is actually the form of current.

Why high tension cables conductor are circular?

High-voltage conductors are circular to evenly-distribute the electric field that surrounds them in order to prevent breakdown.


How many voltage will pass through the high tension line?

It depends on the line, but AC high tension lines are typically between 100kV to 750kV while some DC high tension lines are as high a 1MV.Another AnswerVoltage doesn't 'pass through' a line. It appears between, or across, adjacent conductors. It's CURRENT that 'passes through' a line.


What is insulator strings?

Insulator strings are normally used for high tension wires. They work as the main insulators for wires and assure a smooth connection between the conductors and the poles.

Are high density materials good electric conductors?

No, high density materials are not necessarily good electric conductors. Electrical conductivity is determined by the availability of free electrons in a material, not its density. Typically, metals with high electron mobility, such as copper and aluminum, are good conductors of electricity.

What is the difference between zebra conductors and panther conductors?

Both the panther and zebra conductors are ACSR ( aluminium conductor steel reinforced). The conductors are named depending on the current and voltage rating requirements. Panther conductors are smaller compared to Zebra conductors. The current carrying capacity at degrees ambient temp of panther is : 482A and for Zebra is 736A. The diameter of panther is 21mm and Zebra is 28.62mm.

What is the conductance in semi conductors and conductors?

In semiconductors, conductance is lower compared to conductors due to the presence of energy band gaps that restrict the movement of charge carriers. Conductors have high conductance because they have a high density of free electrons that can move easily and carry electric current.
