Best Answer

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.

Conductance of a shunt is high as the resistance is low.

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?

shunt conductance


What are the 4 primary constant and secondary constant of transmission lines?

resistance (R) inductance(L) capacitance(C) shunt conductance(G)


Why is conductance G?

Conductance is an opposition of Resistance and it is denoted by G. It is given by the relationship G = 1/R . In past the unit of conductance was (mho) which is opposite to (ohm). But these days the unit of conductance is Siemens which is denoted by 'S'.


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 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.


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)

What is the use of conductance?

When referring to electrical conductance, it is used in the application of electricity to equipment. Electrical conductance measures the equipment's ability to conduct electrical charge. A practical application would be to decrease the resistance in an electrical circuit so that the conductance is higher and electricity flows more smoothly.
