A.

increase the sag decrease the tension 

B.

decrease the sag and increase the tension 

C.

increase both the sag and tension 

D.

decrease both the sag and tension

Answer ( Option A)

increase the sag decrease the tension 

Solution

Due to temperature rise in overhead line, sag is increased and tension is decrease. Consider an overhead transmission line separated between the two supports A and B as shown below.


When the conductor (transmission-line) is supported in fashion it will sag or dip under its own weight.

The distance between the adjacent supporting tower is called the span.

The difference in levels between point of support and the lowest point on the conductor is called sag. It is denoted by S.
