Carry electrical power over extremely long distanceswith minimal I2*R losses. The higher the line voltage the lower the current the line has to carry to transmit the power from source to load.

What is EHV transmission?

EHV = Extra High Voltage. To quote from the Wikipedia article (see link) "...this refers to equipment designed for more than 345,000 volts between conductors." Put simply - EHV transmission is the 'national grid' power system.

Why over head lines are used in Extra high voltage AC lines?

Overhead lines are used in extra high voltage (EHV) AC transmission primarily due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of installation compared to underground cables. They allow for efficient transmission of electricity over long distances with minimal energy losses, as the air acts as an insulator and facilitates heat dissipation. Additionally, maintenance and fault detection are more straightforward with overhead lines. Overall, these factors make overhead lines a preferred choice for EHV AC systems.


What are the types of faults in ehv transmission lines?

Factor on which the insulation of ehv lines depends?

it depands on switching overvoltage or lightening overvoltage.


Are shunt reactors used in nuclear reactors?

Answer 1. The only shunt reactors I know are used on transmission lines to alter power factor. This is nothing to do with the nuclear reactor in a power plant.Answer 2. I agree. Shunt reactors are use on transmission line and EHV to boost voltage, to generate VARs and for power factor correction.
