Basic electrical knowledge, power system theory, electrical machine theory, power electronics theory and it is all about electrical engineering theory.
Here present the article about the basic definations of transmission line
Alternating Current (AC) - Electric current in which the direction of the current's flow is reversed or alternated at 50Hz in the india.
Conductors (Power Lines) – Metal cables used for carrying electric current.
Corona – Electrical breakdown of the air near high voltage conductors into charged particles.
Current – The flow of electricity or the movement of electrons through a conductor typically measured in watts.
Direct Current (DC) – Electric current flows continuously in the same direction as contrasted with alternating current.
Distribution Line – A line that carries electricity at lower voltages of 12kV to 44kV and is used to distribute power drawn from high-voltage transmission systems to end-use customers.
Electric & Magnetic Fields (EMF) – Invisible areas of energy, often referred to as radiation, that are associated with the use of electric power. EMFs fall into one of two radioactive categories – non-ionizing (low-level of radiation) or ionizing (high-level of radiation).
Electric Load – Electricity consumers, such as residences, businesses, and government centers that use electricity.
Electric Power Transmission – The process by which large amounts of electricity produced are transported over long distances for eventual use by consumers.
Energy – The amount of work that can be done by electricity, typically measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megawatt- hours (MWh).
Foundation – System that transfers to the ground the various dead and live loads of the transmission structure and conductors.
Generation – The production of electric energy. Fossil fuels, wind turbines, solar panels, and other technologies are used to generate electricity.
Insulators – Used to contain, separate, or support electrical conductors.
Interconnection – Points on a grid or network where two or more transmission lines are connected at a substation or switching station, or where one stage of the energy supply chain meets the next.
Load Center – A particular geographical area where energy is used. Most commonly refers to an area within a utility’s service territory where energy demand is highest (i.e., cities, major industrial areas, etc.).
National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) – The NESC is the U.S. standard of the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of electric power systems.
Power – Rate at which electricity does work. Measured in watts or kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (MW).
Rights-of-Way (ROW) – A legal land right, easement, set a side for the transmission line structure and conductors needed for clearances and maintenance activities.
Shield and Ground Wire – Wires used primarily for protection from lightning strikes and corresponding surges.
Substation – A part of an electrical transmission system that transforms voltage from high to low, or the reverse.
Switching Station – A part of an electrical transmission system that ties two or more electric circuits together through switches, to permit a circuit to be disconnect, or to change the electric connection between circuits.
Transmission Line – A line that carries electricity at voltages of 69kV or greater and is used to transmit electric power over relatively long distances, usually from a central generating station to main substations.
Transmission Structures – Used to keep high-voltage conductors (power lines) separated from their surroundings and from each other.
Voltage – Electric “pressure” measured in volts. Power systems are typically measured in 1,000s volts or kV.
Watt – Unit of electrical power. 1MW is one million watts.
