  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

    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.

  5. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

    As of 2020, no UHVDC line (≥ 800 kV) exists in Europe or North America. A 1,100 kV link in China was completed in 2019 over a distance of 3,300 km (2,100 mi) with a power capacity of 12 GW. [55] [56] With this dimension, intercontinental connections become possible which could help to deal with the fluctuations of wind power and photovoltaics ...

  6. Quadrature booster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_booster

    400 MVA 220/155 kV phase-shifting transformer.. A phase angle regulating transformer, phase angle regulator (PAR, American usage), phase-shifting transformer, phase shifter (West coast American usage), or quadrature booster (quad booster, British usage), is a specialised form of transformer used to control the flow of real power on three-phase electric transmission networks.

  8. Traction power network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_power_network

    In particular the parallel route of 110 kV and 220 kV three-phase AC is common. The use of 380 kV power lines on the same pylon requires 220 kV insulators for the traction current line, because in case the 380 kV line fails, voltage spikes can occur along the traction current line, which the 110 kV insulators cannot handle.

  9. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    The method for making stubs is similar to the method for using Lecher lines for crude frequency measurement, but it is 'working backwards'. One method recommended in the RSGB's radiocommunication handbook is to take an open-circuited length of transmission line wired in parallel with the feeder delivering signals from an aerial. By cutting the ...
