Transmission Line Parameters
An overhead transmission line consists of
• conductors,
• insulators,
• support structures,
• and, in most cases, shield wires.

Conductors
Virtually all overhead power transmission lines use bare aluminum conductors because of their economy, good electrical conduction properties and light weight.

For purposes of heat dissipation, overhead transmission line conductors are bare (no insulating cover).

ACSR consists of layers of aluminum strands surrounding a central core of steel strands. Each layer of strands is spiraled in the opposite direction of its adjacent layer.

Bundle conductors
EHV lines often have more than one conductor per phase; these conductors are called a bundle. Bundle conductors have a lower electric strength at the conductor surfaces, thereby controlling corona. They also have a smaller series reactance.

Spacer
The distance between the conductors in the bundle is maintained by steel or aluminum bars (spacers).

In English units, conductor cross-sectional area is expressed in circular mils (cmil). A
circular mil is the area of a circle that has a diameter of 1 mil. A mil is equal to 1×10 3
in. The cross-sectional area of a wire in square inches equals its area in circular mils
multiplied by 0.7854×10 6.

Insulators
The live conductors are insulated from the towers by insulators which take two basic forms: the pin type and the suspension type.
This type is used for lines up to 33 kV.
Insulators for transmission lines above 69 kV are suspension-type insulators, which consist of a string of discs, typically porcelain. The number of insulator discs in a string increases with line voltage.

Because of continuous low velocity wind flow perpendicular to the phase or ground wires, those wires can start vibrating. This vibration can damage wires, insulators and other connected parts. Therefore often vibration dampers are installed. See photo: red circles.

Support Structures
These serve the purpose of keeping the conductors at a safe height from ground as well as at an adequate distance from each other. The construction of the support is dependent on the cost. The cost takes into account the design and the materials as well as
transportation and labor.

When specifying towers and lines, ice and wind loadings are taken into account, as well as extra forces due to a break in the lines on one side of a tower.

Shield Wires
Shield wires located above the phase conductors protect the phase conductors against lightning. They are usually high-or extra-high- strength steel, Alumoweld, or ACSR with much smaller cross- section than the phase conductors.

Line Resistance and shunt Conductance
The resistance of the conductor is very important in transmission efficiency evaluation and economic studies.The dc resistance of a solid round conductor at a specified temperature is
𝑅𝑑𝑐 =𝜌𝑙
𝐴
The conductor resistance is affected by three-factors: Frequency, spiraling, and temperature.
![Page 23: Power System Analysis Ifaraday.ee.emu.edu.tr/eeng457/POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS-trans...An overhead transmission line consists of • conductors, • insulators, • support structures,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040906/5e7ae4c3382fb858746bd81a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
When ac flows in a conductor, the current distribution
is not uniform over the conductor cross-sectional area
and the current density is greatest at the surface of the
conductor. This causes the ac resistance to be
somewhat higher than the dc resistance.
This behavior is known as skin effect. At 50 Hz, the ac
resistance is about 2% higher than the dc resistance.

Skin effect
Distribution of current flow in a cylindrical conductor, shown in cross section. For alternating current, most (63%) of the electrical current flows between the surface and the skin depth, δ, which depends on the frequency of the current and the electrical and magnetic properties of the conductor.

Spiraling
Since a stranded conductor is spiraled, each strand is longer than the finished conductor. This results in a slightly higher resistance than the value Rdc

The conductor resistance increases as temperature increases.

Conductance accounts for real power loss between conductors or between conductors and ground. For overhead lines, this power loss is due to leakage currents at insulators and to corona. Insulator leakage current depends on the amount of dirt, salt, and other contaminants that have accumulated on insulators, as well as on meteorological factors, particularly the presence of moisture. Corona occurs when a high value of electric field strength at a conductor surface causes the air to become electrically ionized and to conduct. Conductance is usually neglected in power system studies because it is a very small component of the shunt admittance.
