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.

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.

What are the materials added in electrical overhead lines?

Overhead electrical lines are usually made of aluminum, and some have a steel strand added which is used to give the conductor more strength (not to carry current).

Which of the above lines appear to be neither perpendicular nor parallel?

You may have neglected to copy something else that goes with the question, as there are no "above lines".


Are overhead power lines insulated?

Overhead power lines are insulated from ground, typically using strings of glass or ceramic insulators. The wire itself is bare, though - it does not have insulation on it. There are many different types of overhead power line, but I'm not aware of any that actually have insulation.

Contour lines enable us to see changes in elevation using an overhead map


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.


What are old powerlines along railrd tracks ,made of?

powerlines mounted on pylons, see Overhead power line. For lines carrying information, see Overhead cable. An overhead line or overhead wire is used to transmit electrical energy to trains, trolleybuses
