OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION LINE DESIGN - ELECTRICAL ASPECTS
TRAINING CODE :
A153
OBJECTIVES :
The purpose of this course is to re-visit the crucial aspects of the electrical design of transmission lines, which essentially determine their performance with respect to their exposure to the environment. It will gives an overview of the Operational requirement in respect of line load ability, which is particularly relevant to capacity utilization of long EHV lines.
