TRANSMISSION LINES

Transmission lines

The Transmission lines are basically Electrical Circuits having distributed constants such as Resistance,Inductance and Capacitance.These contants are uniformly distributed along the length of the line and there concentration at any particular point is not possible
Basically these Transmission lines are Classified based on two cases,
CASE 1: BASED ON LENGTH:-
The Tranmission lines are classified into three types here
1.Short Transmission Lines:When the length of the Tranmission line is below 60 km then they are considered to be under STL
2.Medium Transmission Lines:When the length of the Transmission line is 80-160 km then they are said to be MTL.
3.Long Transmission  Lines: When the length of the Transmission line is above 160 km then they are said to be LTL.
CASE 2: BASED ON OPERATING VOLTAGE:-
Here the Transmission lines are classified into five types
1.Low Voltage:When the operating voltage is upto 1KV.
2.High Voltage:When the operating voltage is 11KV-33KV.
3.Extra High Voltage:When the operating voltage is 66KV,132KV,220KV.
4.Modern Extra High Voltage:When the operating voltage is upto 400KV.
5.Ultra High Voltage:When the operating voltage is upto 765KV and above.
SELECTION OF OPERATING VOLTAGE:
Cost and Size or Insulation is not the Criteria for the Selection of operation voltage.Power Transfer Capacity is the main criteria for the selection of Operating voltage.

GENERATOR

GENERATOR: A Generator is a machine which converts Mechanical energy into Electrical energy.These are widely used inside the Power plants for the generation of Power. Generator In general the Generator we see in a Thermal power plant gains its mechanical energy from the Turbine connected to it and this mechanical energy is thus converted into the required Electrical energy by the Generator.I myself  experienced a 15 days of internship in a Thermal power plant and the Generator was about the size of a lager hall both in its length and breadth and the output Electrical energy is thus achieved by the use of a Generator.

SWITCHING TRANSIENTS IN TRANSFORMER

Switching Transients: The word Transients is always very Scary for me but not any more hahaaa...........what about you???? Well coming to the point...why do these Switching Transients occur in a Transformer. When the switch is closed when the voltage is maximum...then the flux required by the core is zero and the available flux in the core is also zero and hence NORMAL OPERATION is sufficient When the switch is closed when the voltage is crossing zero...then the flux required by the core is maximum but here the avaliable flux in the core is zero and hence TRANSIENT OPERATION is required Here when the Transient operation takes place then the flux doubles gradually and this is known as Doubling Effect of Transformer.This Doubling Effect causes magnetic in rush current and Damage in the insulation. Using Secondary Harmonic Restraining Coil can reduce all these Drawbacks.
