Bcoz, corona effect is only possible in high voltage AC supply due to the frequency.
That is, the frequency and the HT voltage causes the arc b/w 2 conductors.so , here the air is act as the arc transmitting medium.we called it as Corona.
It is highly impossible in DC bcoz of no frequency.
Corona Fields arround a transmission line is the high electric field caused by the transmission line causing the surrounding air to ionise and conduct electricity. As this ionisation requires a current to maintain, this causes a loss associated with the corona.
DC is used for extra-high voltage transmission systems, as there are less losses with DC than with AC, and no synchronising problems.
I think you would have a problem with that since a transformer won't work on DC and the power transmission boys would have a fit.
There is no difference in the cables. The only difference is the type of electrical power being transmitted. AC or DC applications use the same wires.
This was due to the results of the War of the Currents between Edison, who supported DC and Tesla for AC power distribution. Although most electronics you find today run off DC power, the transmission of DC power over long distances is not very efficient and requires several substations between the power transmission source and where it is received. AC power after stepped up can be transmission over long distances with little energy loss. The energy loss occurs from heat generated from resistance within the transmission wire. At the introduction of Edison's system, there was no practical AC motor available. It was primary due to the introduction of the 3 phase AC motor did AC finally win over DC.
yes, i think dc transmission is best, coz in dc losses is low, no iductance between conduct, less corona loss.AnswerNeither is 'better'; they each have advantages and disadvantages. For example, although there might be less losses with d.c. transmission, the equipment required to raise and reduce the voltage at each end of the line is more costly than for an a.c. transmission system.

Due to corona effect virtually conductor size is increase and therefor resistance in transmission line is decreases.so I2R losses will decreases...
Only if it is a DC transmission line.
A: Transmission lines while there is ceramic insulators providing separation to the phases will have a corona if the insulators are dirty providing small current leakage ionizing the air around it therefore corona effect.
We can use DC too for the transmission system. Refer HVDC transmission system.
ac transmission is better. because it is cheaper as converter are not use.but losses are more as comparison to dc.
advantages:due to corona formation the sir surrounding the conductor becomes the conducting and hence virtual dimeter of the conductor is increased.
The virtual diameter of the conductor becomes greater to carry more current

AC transmission lines are 3-phase, DC transmission lines don't have phases. It doesn't matter where they are from.
DC is used for extra-high voltage transmission systems, as there are less losses with DC than with AC, and no synchronising problems.
