A low-resistance connection between two points in an electric circuit that forms an alternative path for a portion of the current. Also called bypass.

Why leakage conductance is neglected in overhead lines?

The shunt conductance is due to leakage currents flowing across insulators and air. As leakage current is considerably small compared to nominal current, it is usually neglected, and therefore, shunt conductance is normally not considered for the transmission line modeling.


What is caused by the imperfect insulating quality of the medium between the wires?

What is the difference between specific conductance and equivalence conductance?

Specific conductance is the conductance of a specified length of a substance, typically 1 cm, while equivalence conductance is the conductance of all ions produced by one mole of an electrolyte in solution. Specific conductance is a property of the substance itself, whereas equivalence conductance is a property of the electrolyte in solution.


How are specific conductance and equivalent conductance related to concentration of electrolyte?

Specific conductance is directly proportional to the concentration of electrolyte, while equivalent conductance is inversely proportional to the concentration of electrolyte. This is because specific conductance is the conductivity of a solution normalized to a unit concentration, while equivalent conductance is the conductivity of a solution containing one equivalent of the electrolyte.


What happens to the current if the conductance decreases?

If conductance decreases, the current flowing through the circuit will also decrease. Conductance is the inverse of resistance, so decreasing conductance means increasing resistance, which impedes the flow of current.


Will a fully charged new battery have a low conductance reading?

No it will have high conductance


What are the differences of Long shunt vs short shunt generator?

In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.


Why you caluculate the corrected conductance?

Corrected conductance is calculated to account for the impact of temperature on the conductance of a substance. Conductance is temperature-dependent, so correcting for this allows for a more accurate comparison of values across different temperatures. It helps to standardize conductance measurements and make them more reliable for analysis.


How do you use shunt in a sentence?

The word 'shunt' is both a noun (shunt, shunts) and a verb (shunt, shunts, shunting, shunted).Examples:He had to have a heart shunt put in. (noun)The engineer will shunt the train onto that track instead. (verb)


Why conductance is ignored in transmission lines?

Conductance is ignored in short circuit studies because the inductance of the line is the dominant value. Conductance may not be ignored in stability studies.
