The balls on overhead conductors are, belive it or not to make them visable to birds, helecoptors and planes etc, so they wont fly in to them. They have no electrical purpose what so ever, Sorry to sat its that simple!! Colin

What does inductive load effect on High Voltage transmission line?

the inductive load which is generally use in high voltage transmission line known as transformer. the transformer transform the high voltage to low voltage.


How many amps do pylons carry?

The amount of current (amps) that pylons, or transmission towers, carry can vary significantly depending on the voltage of the transmission lines and the specific design of the system. High-voltage transmission lines can carry anywhere from hundreds to thousands of amps. For example, a typical high-voltage line operating at 500 kV might carry around 1,000 to 2,000 amps. Overall, the exact current is determined by the needs of the electrical grid and the load being supplied.


What is an example of a step-up transformer?

Power stations use step-up transformers to transmit power at a high voltage instead of a high current. This reduces the power lost in the transmission lines.


Why neutral is not required for vacuum circuit breaker?

Air-blast circuit breakers are used to disconnect high-voltage transmission or distribution circuits in the event of a fault. One circuit breaker is required for each of the three line conductors; there is not normally a neutral conductor in high-voltage three-phase transmission/distribution lines.

Why are there sometimes balls on high voltage electrical wires?

The balls on high voltage electrical wires are known as "marker balls" or "aerial marker balls." They are used to make the wires more visible to aircraft, especially in low-light conditions. This helps prevent collisions between aircraft and the power lines.


How do high voltage transmission lines use electricity to efficiently transport power over long distances?

High voltage transmission lines use electricity to efficiently transport power over long distances by increasing the voltage of the electricity. This allows for the power to travel long distances with minimal loss of energy. The high voltage reduces the amount of current needed, which in turn reduces the energy lost as heat during transmission.


Are high voltage transmission lines 60Hz like the wiring in a house?

Yes, the frequency stays the same. Only the voltage and current change as the voltage is stepped down.


Why overhead transmission lines would be more economical than underground transmission lines in high voltage transmission?

Overhead wires do not require insulation, and it is easier to plant poles than dig miles of trenches.


Why do power lines have a high voltage in order to minimize current and heat loss?

Power lines have a high voltage to reduce the amount of current flowing through them, which helps to minimize heat loss and energy waste during the transmission of electricity.


Why is high voltage a plus?

its because of transformers . they work with pulse

Why are power lines high voltage and what are the advantages of transmitting electricity at high voltages?

Power lines are high voltage to reduce energy loss during transmission. Transmitting electricity at high voltages allows for more efficient long-distance transmission, reduces the amount of current needed, and minimizes heat loss, resulting in cost savings and increased reliability of the power grid.
