Question

Corona loss can be reduced by the use of hollow conductor, because 

A.

the current density is reduced

B.

The eddy current in the conductor is eliminated

C.

For a given cross section, the radius of the conductor is increased

D.

of better ventilation in the conductor

Answer ( Option C)

For a given cross section, the radius of the conductor is increased

Solution

Corona power loss - Corona loss is the other major

 of power loss in transmission lines essentially corona loss is caused by ionization of air molecules the transmission line conductor. Corona loss can be reduced by the use of hollow conductor.

Because for a given cross section, the radius of the

conductor is increased.

The hollow conductor increases the effective diameter without using anyextra material.
