This document discusses the components and design factors of transmission lines. It describes the typical materials used for conductors (aluminum), insulators (ceramic discs), and shield wires. It also outlines the parameters considered in transmission line design such as conductor spacing, clearance from ground/objects, and reducing electric field effects. The document explains that transmission line design accounts for electrical, mechanical, environmental, and economic factors.

Transmission Line Components Conductors
Aluminum replaced copper as the conductor material of choice. It is in the earth than copper. However, it is less International standard for conductivity is Typical conductors have layers of some reinforced with steel, e.g., the High Voltage TLs have several conductors per phase called Annealing vs. Hard drawn conductors.

Transmission Line Components Insulators & Shield Wires
Insulators o Used for suspending TL conductors from the tower. o Made from disc shaped Shield Wires o Strategically placed conductors that receive lightning bolts instead of electric power carrying conductors. o Shield wires are connected to the ground via the towers with a low
Transmission Line Components Support Structures
Steel towers with lattice structures (sometimes wooden < 345 kV) are constructed to carry the TL. For several examples see http://www.minnelectrans.com/transmission-system.html Design accounts for minimum clearance to , minimum distance between , minimum , etc. Example: A 765 kV TL has conductors per bundle, cm min. bundle spacing, min. phase to phase distance, min. phase to ground distance. Up to insulator strings per phase, and shield wires diameter made from
Transmission Line Electrical Design Factors
Design factors include: o Type, size, number of o Minimum spacing and arrangement of conductors. o Reducing electric field and corona effect at Figure from Wikipedia Corona Discharge o Type of insulators depending on humidity, fog, pollution, and other local environmental factors. o Electric field at ground level to eliminate risk of These design factors determine:
Transmission Line Other Design Factors
Mechanical Factors: o Determine the o Account for: Structure loads, Environmental Factors: o Impact on land, including aesthetics, wild life, etc. o Biological effects due to exposure to electric and magnetic fields by proximity to these TLs. Economic Factors: Detailed studies account for o o Line losses and
