There are essentially 2 types of connections for a 3 phase AC transmission lines Star and Delta , Star is a 4 wire connection with each phase supplying potential with respect to a common ground wire , while delta is 3 wire connection with any single phase at one given time acting as a ground , for transmission reducing one wire makes a lot of cost difference hence it is favored

Advantages and disadvantages of underground and overhead cables?

Overhead transmission lines are less expensive, in most cases, significantly less expensive, than underground cables. Underground transmission cables require insulation, cooling systems, and -the most expensive feature- excavation!


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 is the difference between overhead transmission line and under ground transmission line?

Um. One is hung above your head on telephone poles and the other is ran underground in conduit? Unless you meant something else? Also burying cable costs ~10 times as much for transmission lines as overhead. It also usually has a lower power carrying capability, since it cannot dissipate heat as readily as an overhead conductor.


When electricity is transported long distances via large overhead transmission lines the voltage can be transformed up to volts. A. 250000 B. 500000 C. 10000 D. 100000?

When electricity is transported long distances via large overhead transmission lines, the voltage can be transformed up to 500,000 volts (B). This high voltage reduces energy loss during transmission, allowing for efficient delivery of electricity over long distances.


Give details about star and delta connections as much as you can?

Star (Y) and Delta (Δ) connections are two configurations used in three-phase electrical systems. In a Star connection, one end of each of the three windings is connected to a common point (the neutral), while the other ends are connected to the phase lines, providing a higher voltage across the load. In contrast, the Delta connection links the windings in a closed loop, allowing for a higher current capacity and providing more power to the load. Star connections are typically used for lighter loads and in starting motors, while Delta connections are preferred for running motors and heavy loads due to their efficiency in power delivery.

How do you remove transmission lines on 2004 Yukon?

To remove the transmission lines on a 2004 GMC Yukon, first, ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and supported. Locate the transmission cooler lines, which typically run from the transmission to the radiator. Use a line wrench to carefully disconnect the lines, being cautious to catch any fluid that may leak. After removing the retaining clips, you can pull the lines free from their connections.


Why velocity of wave propagation is same for all overhead lines?

The velocity of wave propagation in overhead power lines is primarily determined by the line's electrical characteristics, specifically its capacitance and inductance, which are relatively consistent across different lines. This velocity is a function of the square root of the ratio of inductance to capacitance (v = 1/√(LC)). Because these properties are influenced by the physical design and materials used in overhead lines, the propagation speed tends to be similar across various lines, regardless of their specific configurations or lengths. Thus, for practical purposes, it can be considered constant for overhead transmission lines.

My '98 Tahoe needs a new radiator and the one that's in it only has two lines. Is there a difference without the coolant lines versus the tranny lines?

All automotive radiators have at least two radiator hose connections. Some have a transmission cooler line, which usually has those two, much smaller and threaded connections. If you do not currently have the two additional lines, you probably either have an external transmission cooler or a manual transmission. In either case, you can usually use a replacment radiator that has the transmission cooler whether or not you need it. Just check your bolt holes to insure it lines up the same.
