Question

The sag of the conductors of a transmission lines  is 2.5 m when the span is 250 m. Now if the   height of the supporting towers is increased by 2.5%, the sag will

A.

reduced by 25%

B.

increase by 25%

C.

reduce by 12.5%

D.

remain unchanged

Answer ( Option D)

remain unchanged

Solution

Sag of transmission line is given by


Where,

 W = Weight of conductor

L = Length of span

T = Working tensile strength

If height of supporting tower is increase will have no effect on sag

Hence,

Sag remains unchanged.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
