Question

Bundled conductors are mainly used in high voltage overhead transmission lines is 

A.

To reduce the line losses

B.

To reduce the corona effect

C.

To increase the mechanical strength of the line

D.

To reduce sag  

Answer ( Option B)

To reduce the corona effect

Solution

By using bundling of conductors -

(1) The effective radius of conductors increases

(2) Overall diameter of conductor increases

So that critical disruptive voltage of conductors increases, Thus less chance of corona occurrence.

Hence bundled conductors usually used to reduce corona effect.
