A 'transposed' tower is one where the vertical sequence of lines on one side of the tower is red-yellow-blue (or A-B-C), while the sequence on the other side is blue-yellow-red (or C-B-A). The effect of this is to introduce some degree of cancellation between the magnetic fields -approximately inversely proportional to the cube of the horizontal distance away from the line, thus reducing the flux density of the magnetic field on either side of the line. In other words, it offers a means of reducing the exposure to the line's electromagnetic field. In the UK, most tower lines are transposed.

Why transposition tower in long transmission line?

In transmission line minimum 3 conductors are run in parallel. Every conductor has a flux which produce losses in other conductor which is run with parallel. So in the middle one conductor the losses is double in respect to other two conductors. At the end of the line the voltage of the middle one conductor is reduced from other conductors due to these losses. The transposition tower is used to change the conductors. By using these tower we shift each conductor position. So we use these towers in long transmission line so that these losses becomes equal for each conductor. and voltage will be almost equal at the end of the transmission line. Regards. Vishal kr.

Could it be dangerous to connect an alternator to a long transmission line if the line had a high capacitance?

Yes. Because... If we connect an alternator to a transmission line of high capacitance the line voltage will increase and caused a line voltage difference, which does not satisfied the condition of parallel operation of same voltage rating. [By Akhtaruzzaman08]


What is the cell phone named after?

The "cell" in cell phone is a shortened form of the word cellular. This refers to the type of transmission towers used to convey signals. Cell phones are simply radios that transmit on minute frequencies. The range of frequencies used are managed by the individual cellular providers (cell phone companies). These companies build and arrange transmission antennae (cell towers) in a way that transmission coverage from each tower overlaps those around it. This provides relatively (theoretically) seamless coverage. As long as the cell phone remains within line of sight of a transmission tower, and within the phone's transmission range, calls can be completed. In the days of analog cell phones (and this may still hold true today), the average transmission range for a cell tower was 15 miles over land, and 50 miles over water.

What is the essential difference between a transmission line and an ordinary network?

The essential difference between a transmission line and an ordinary network lies in their respective purposes and functions: Transmission Line: Purpose: A transmission line, in the context of telecommunications or electrical engineering, is primarily designed for the efficient long-distance transfer of signals, data, or electrical power from one point to another. Characteristics: Transmission lines are engineered to minimize signal loss, distortion, or power dissipation over extended distances. They often operate at high voltages or frequencies to maintain signal integrity.
