why humming sound occured in HT transmission lines...

Answer / saravanakumar

Whenever the voltage passing through a conductor exceeding
a certain value the air molecules around the conductor got
ionised. the ions moving in the atmosphere, they take
energy from the supply so a hissing noise will occur.. this
effct is called corona effect..

why humming sound occured in HT transmission lines...

Answer / tameshwar singh

At very high voltage the molecules across the conductor are
get ionnised and at certain level of voltage the air gets
breakdown and act as conducting medium, this voltage is
known as Disruptive critical voltage. At this voltage
arcing is formed across conductor & due to this phenomenon
hissing noise will occurs. This noise causes the radio
interferance in communication lines

why humming sound occured in HT transmission lines...

Answer / sukhraj cheema

humming sound in high voltage transmission lines is because
of corona effect.because of high voltage the air around the
conductors is ionised and will cause a humming naise.

why humming sound occured in HT transmission lines...

Answer / shah alam

the HT lines causes humming because of corna effect.when
the voltage of transmission lines increases too much to
produce electric field of magnitude of 10^7 v/m.That is
more than the electric field required to break the
intermolecular bond of the air molecules.Hence the air
particle around the lines get ionised and start moving
freely.and during this movement several collisions occur
and resulting a humming sound.

why humming sound occured in HT transmission lines...

Answer / mridupawan,assam

hissing sound produce whenever Corona occurs. But the
continuous humming occurs in high voltage transmission line
is due to the hysteresis losses coused by alternate
magnetic reversal of the conductor molecule from north pole
to south pole and vice versa. Magnetic reversal took place
under the influence of alternating voltage.This is just like
the humming in a transformer core.

Answer / vijay patel

due to high voltage the produced electrical field cause break down the air and moist particle in to the ions and this efeect cause humming sound

iii) A shunt motor runs at 70 rad/sec from a 460V supply and takes in an armature current of 100A. Resistors of 2.52 ohms and 1.64 ohms are connected in series with the armature and in parallel with the armature respectively. The field excitation remains direct from the 460V supply but the generated torque is halved. Determine the new running speed. Neglect brush voltage drop. The armature resistance is 0.4 ohms. [15]
