Could it be dangerous to connect an alternator to a long transmission line if the line had a high capacitance?
Yes. Because... If we connect an alternator to a transmission line of high capacitance the line voltage will increase and caused a line voltage difference, which does not satisfied the condition of parallel operation of same voltage rating. [By Akhtaruzzaman08]
What does inductive load effect on High Voltage transmission line?
the inductive load which is generally use in high voltage transmission line known as transformer. the transformer transform the high voltage to low voltage.
Why capacitance is neglected in short transmission lines?
Wen the length of overhead transmission line is less than 80 km with an operating voltage up to 20kv it is considered as short transmission lines Due to smaller lengths and low operating voltage the charging current is low so the effect of capacitance of short transmission lines is extremely small and therefore can be neglected as in case of distribution lines and only R L is to be taken into account while analyzing short transmission lines
What is charging current in transmission lines?
Any two conductors separated by an insulating medium constitutes a condenser or capacitor.In case of overhead transmission lines, two conductors form the two plates of the capacitor and the air between the conductors behaves as dielectric medium. Thus an overhead transmission line can be assumed to have capacitance between the conductors throughout the length of the line. The capacitance is uniformly distributed over the length of the line and may be considered as uniform series of condensers connected between the conductors.When an alternating voltage is applied across the transmission line it draws the leading current even when supplying no load. This leading current will be in quadrature with the applied voltage and is termed as charging current. It must be noted that charging current is due to the capacitive effect between the conductors of the line and does not depend on the load. The strength of the charging currents depends on the voltage of transmission, the capacitance of the line and frequency of the ac supply. It is given by the expressionSignificance of Charging currents:Capacitance effect (responsible for charging currents) of the short transmission lines are negligible. However they are significant in medium and long distance transmission lines.In long distance transmission lines, during light loaded conditions receiving end voltage will be higher than sending end voltage. This is because of the charging currents and capacitive effect of the line
What is surge impedance in power systems?
Actually surge impedance is present in a transmission line due to the capacitance of transmission line. Now this capacitor attends the reactive power of the transmission line to energise its magnetic flux. now due to the flux the impedance will increase and the power is reactive too. due to the impedance loss is more.
