Why Aluminium wires are used for High tension(HT) lines? 11 KVA/32KVA & aboue..

Answer / a.ramaprasd

1. Economical. Aluminium is available in plenty. Current
flow is also less there fore conductor size is also less.

2. Considering economy we can use GI wire also , but it
will rust in due course , more rigid weighs more.

3. Cu 9 copper ) is better but it is expensive.Therefore
Alu minium is the best and wise choice.

Answer / ha ha

There are two reasons
1. Economical.
2.Aluminium conductors do not produce electromagnetic
fields.Hence Electromagnetic Interference is less.Hence
they are used for HT lines.

Answer / vilas

weight and cost & conductance are three factors are more
important for transmission lines, So aluminium is selected
to transmit power, as it is light weighted , cost also less
than copper, as weight is less the construction cost of
tower is less.

Answer / shubham batham

The conductivity of the silver is more than copper. and the conductivity of the copper is more than Aluminium, but As per availability of material in nature the Aluminium is used. other fact it is cheap and easily available. it is lighter so we choose Aluminium.
