  2. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

    The study measured the electric field strength at the edge of an existing right-of-way on a 765 kV transmission line. The field strength was 1.6 kV/m, and became the interim maximum strength standard for new transmission lines in New York State. The opinion also limited the voltage of new transmission lines built in New York to 345 kV.

  3. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Rural electrification systems tend to use higher distribution voltages because of the longer distances covered by distribution lines (see Rural Electrification Administration). 7.2, 12.47, 25, and 34.5 kV distribution is common in the United States; 11 kV and 33 kV are common in the UK, Australia and New Zealand; 11 kV and 22 kV are common in ...

  4. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    A type of transmission line called a cage line, used for high power, low frequency applications. It functions similarly to a large coaxial cable. It functions similarly to a large coaxial cable. This example is the antenna feed line for a longwave radio transmitter in Poland , which operates at a frequency of 225 kHz and a power of 1200 kW.

  5. Distribution transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_transformer

    Primaries provide power at the standard distribution voltages used in the area; these range from as low as 2.3 kV to about 35 kV depending on local distribution practice and standards, often 11 kV (50 Hz systems) and 13.8 kV (60 Hz systems) are used, but many other voltages are standard.

  6. Zigzag transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zigzag_transformer

    A combination of Y (wye or star), delta, and zigzag windings may be used to achieve a vector phase shift. For example, an electrical network may have a transmission network of 110 kV/33 kV star/star transformers, with 33 kV/11 kV delta/star for the high voltage distribution network.

  7. Telegrapher's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegrapher's_equations

    Equivalent circuit of an unbalanced transmission line (such as coaxial cable) where: 2/Z o is the trans-admittance of VCCS (Voltage Controlled Current Source), x is the length of transmission line, Z(s) ≡ Z o (s) is the characteristic impedance, T(s) is the propagation function, γ(s) is the propagation "constant", s ≡ j ω, and j 2 ≡ −1.

  8. Delta-wye transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-wye_transformer

    The delta winding allows third-harmonic currents to circulate within the transformer, and prevents third-harmonic currents from flowing in the supply line. [2] Delta-wye transformers introduce a 30, 150, 210, or 330 degree phase shift. [3] Thus they cannot be paralleled with wye-wye (or delta-delta) transformers.

  9. Voltage regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_regulation

    Now V line drop = IZ line is nonzero, so the voltages and the sending and receiving ends of the transmission line are not equal. The current I can be found by solving Ohm’s law using a combined line and load impedance: I = V S Z l i n e + Z l o a d {\textstyle I={\frac {V_{S}}{Z_{line}+Z_{load}}}} .
