reactance relay is used for distance protection of the transmission line....
Electrical transmission lines do have reactance, but it is not necessary for power to flow. In fact, the smaller the reactance, the higher the efficiency of the transmission system. Reactive power is not delivered to the load, it does no useful work, it just costs money to generate and causes heating of the conductors.
== == Add a capacitor or a synchronous motor or a phase advancer to the transmission line so that it can nullify the effect of inductive reactance since the above elements gives capacitive reactance. Doing this also improves the power factor.
DC Resistance = 0.1362 Ohms/km Reactance depends upon line configuration and spacing
A line trap is a set of physically-large inductors often seen hanging from transmission towers at the end of a high-voltage transmission line, where the line terminates at a substation. As transmission lines often carry data signals, which operate at frequencies very much higher than the 50-Hz (or 60-Hz) power frequency, the high inductive reactance* of the line traps act to prevent these signals from continuing beyond the end of that section of transmission line, while having an insignificant effect on the power-frequency load current.(*Inductive reactance is directly proportional to frequency)
Reactance certainly causes loss in a transmission system, but I^2R or resistance losses are greater.
when ever current passing through any two parallel transmission line than due to the dieletric property of conductor some what capacitance effect will be generate between them that phenomina called as capitance reactance/////////////////// that symply we can called capitance reactance is measure of capitance The reactance of a capacitor is its resistance.
Power to be transmiteed is calculated by using following formula P= (E1*E2/ X)*sin(delta) X= Line reactance = XL-Xc XL= Inductive Reactance Xc=Capacitive Reactance P= Power to be transmitted. Thus , Increament in delta increase P Decreament in X increases P For this we use series, parallel, Combination of both compensation FACTS Devices.
Capacitors have always been added on both power lines and telephone lines to compensate for the build up of inductive reactance in long runs of wire.
Due to corona effect virtually conductor size is increase and therefor resistance in transmission line is decreases.so I2R losses will decreases...
Wen the length of overhead transmission line is less than 80 km with an operating voltage up to 20kv it is considered as short transmission lines Due to smaller lengths and low operating voltage the charging current is low so the effect of capacitance of short transmission lines is extremely small and therefore can be neglected as in case of distribution lines and only R L is to be taken into account while analyzing short transmission lines
what are the advantages of line management?
