why we used to transmitt the power at higher voltage why not at lower voltage..

Answer / arunkumar

since when we have high voltage ,wat about current ...ya we
have low current..we can save conductor material for
transporting power with high voltage low conductor..

why we used to transmitt the power at higher voltage why not at lower voltage..

Answer / prashant

This is directly related to ohms law V=IR. now from this
its quite evident that V and I are inversely related to
each other. So if V is higher then consequently the I will
be lower and hence the size of the conductor neede to
transmit the power will be small.Considerable cost saving

Answer / shahin

the main reson for high voltage transmission for reducing
line loss and improving the efficiency. Another reason for
high voltage transmission is Long distance transmission.

Answer / g.t.manikandan

For transmitt the power at higher voltage are
1.Reducing line loss(I^2 R)
2.Improve efficiency
3.Save Material Cost

Answer / achin bansal

AT HIGH VOLTAGE LINE CURRENT IS LOW THEREFORE LINE LOSSES
I2R WILL BE LESS AND OVERALL LINE EFFICIENCY WILL BE HIGH....
