Question

Which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of EHV lines? 

A.

Over voltage problem due to switching surge. 

B.

Generation and distribution of power is in AC only. 

C.

Corona problems increase in the voltage gradient. 

D.

Insulation coordination based upon switching impulse level.

Answer ( Option B)

Generation and distribution of power is in AC only. 

Solution

Generation and distribution of power is an AC only in NOT a disadvantage of EHV lines.

Advantage of EHV line :

(i) Reduces the current Rating of transmission line.

(ii) Reduces the cross sectional area of conductor i.e. weight of conductor for given length of transmission line.

(iii) Reduces the capital cost investment of conductor.

(iv) Reduces the transmission line losses.

(v) Transmission line efficiency increases due to the decreases of the losses.

Hence, the correct option is (B).
