Question

Stepping up of voltage during transmission is done to

A.

Increase efficient power transfer 

B.

Maximum power transfer 

C.

To reduce transmission losses 

D.

To reduce voltage losses

Answer ( Option C)

To reduce transmission losses 

Solution

The purpose of step up the voltage between the transmission line is to reduce the line loss. Because the value of the current flowing decreases as the voltage increases, I2R loss are reduced. A series generator is also used to step up the voltage between the transmission line, also known as the Booster transformer.

Hence, the correct option is (C).
