Question

Which of the following statement is incorrect? 

A.

As the temperature rises, the tension in the transmission line decreases 

B.

As temperature rises, the sag in transmission lines reduces 

C.

Tension and sag in transmission lines are complementary to each other 

D.

None of these

Answer ( Option B)

As temperature rises, the sag in transmission lines reduces 

Solution

As temperature rise, the sag in transmission line increase the tension in the transmission line decrease.

Sag are two types

(i)         Catenary

(ii)        Parabolic

Where,

Weight

Length

Tension

Shape of sag increases with the increase in the length of the span. For a small span (up to 300 m) parabolic method and large span (like river crossing) catenary method is used for the calculation of sag and tension.

Hence, the correct option is (B).
