what would happen if u assume to insulate all the overhead
lines and no insulators....??do you think it to b an
advantag or a disadvantage??justify.

Answer Posted / sunil kumar kr

In my opinion insulating the entire length of OH conductor will be a disadvantage.

In normal bare wire construction heat is easily dissipated to surrounding atmosphere. When fully insulated heat transfer reduces. This necessitates increase in conductor for the same power transfer. The thickness of insulation required will be much more considering the supporting point on towers. So the conductor weight increases requiring more heavy tower structures. Also it creates more sagging problems in summer seasons.

Also I do not think it will increase the safety much because, if broken down, it will certainly create safety threat and severity does not reduces much.
