WE CANT CARRY HIGH CURRENT IN TRANSMITION LINE BCOZ NEED
BIG SIZE CONDUCTOR.THATS USING HIGH VOLAGE ACCORDING TO
P=VI SO V=1/I*P

Answer / lakshmi
at constant power for higher voltages the current is
reduced according to the equation P = V I cos (phi)
then I = P/V cos (phi)
reduced current means less losses and incresed efficiency.
and also the size of the conductor is less due low current.
hence it is economical to transmitt higher voltages.
thats why the generated voltages are stepped up to higher
voltages.

Answer / pandeyrahul
high current means more i*i*r losses which decreases the
efficiency

Answer / arunraj
Because to minimise power loss while transmitting.
For example: If power of 1000watts has to be transmitted to
certain distance through transmission line having a
resistance R ohm.If it was transmitted at 200volt, the total
power loss in transmission is
power=VI=1000watts
current=power/voltage=(1000/200)=5 Amps
power loss=(I*I*R)=5*5*R=25R watts
If it was transmitted at 2000 volts,
I=1000/2000=0.5 Amps
power loss=(0.5*0.5*R)=0.25R watts
now we can see that at high voltage transmission line
current is small. so we can use conductors with small
thickness instead large bars.

Answer / shahbaz shaikh
as we know that power transmission is depends on vtg and
current if we want to transmit high current then (as
current increases area and size ,cost incraeses) hence
transmission should be in high voltage

Draw SLD feeding from the SS up to distribution board of the load, calculate cable size, breaker sizes, and meter for the following case: Ground Floor: electric room, pump room, 5 shops, each is 15 KW First Floor: 5 shops, each is 15 KW Second Floor: showroom 30 KW Service Loads: water pump 3 KW (3ph) , fire pump 3 KW (3ph), and one DB service 12 KW (3ph).
In a company the lines carrying 33KV but the load is below 10000Volts so we know that <11KV we can put 11KV lines but the lines are 33KV,..so how we can step down the voltage to 11KV with out erecting a substation
Can we use 230VAC, 63A MCB for 120VAC, 63A supplied heaters load?
calculate external resistance values to add to the rotor of a slip ring induction motor. STATOR- 415 V, 3 phase delta, 1100 A, 50 Hz, 1490 rpm, pf 0,86 ROTOR - 660 V, 590 A, 50 Hz. STATOR current at each steps STEP1-600A,STEP2- 800A,STEP3-1000A,STEP4-1100A.
