Key Points
- Surge impedance for the transmission line is 400Ω and for cable, it is 40 Ω.
- The phase angle of surge impedance (ZC) of transmission lines is in range of 0o to -15o.
- If loading of the = SIL, then the power factor will be unity. Hence, maximum power can be transferred and the line can be called as the flat line.
- If loading of line < SIL, then power factor will be leading.
- If loading of line > SIL, then power factor will be lagging.
Wave Phenomenon
Refracted (transmitted) wave = Incident (forward) wave + Reflected wave
VT = VF + VR
where, VT = Refracted (transmitted) voltage wave
VF = Incident or forward voltage wave
VR = Reflected voltage
Transmission Line Termination
Case (1) Open-Ended Line
- Current becomes at load end zero. Due to this electromagnetic energ
Transmission Line
A transmission line is a set of conductors being run from one place to another supported on transmission towers. Therefore, such lines have four distributed parameters, series resistance, inductance shunt capacitance and conductance.
Transmission lines are typically made of conductive materials, such as copper or aluminum, that have low resistance to allow for efficient power transmission. They are used in both overhead and underground applications, depending on the specific requirements and environmental factors.
Short Transmission Line
The effect of capacitance is ignored in these lines, length of short transmission line is less than 80 km.

ls = Sending end current
VR = Receiving end voltage
IR = Receiving end current
IS = IR
