Transmission of Power
What is Power Transmission ?
Power transmission is the movement of energy from its
place of generation to a location where it is applied to
performing useful work.
Electric power is normally generated at 11-33 kV in a power
station. To transmit over long distances, it is then stepped-
up to 400kV, 220kV or 110 kV as necessary.
Power is carried through a transmission network of high
voltage lines. Usually, these lines run into hundreds of
kilometers and deliver the power into a power grid.
![Page 5: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Transmission of Power
What is Power Transmission ?
The grid is connected to load centres (cities) through a
sub-transmission network of normally 33kV (or
sometimes 66kV) lines.
These lines terminate into a 33kV (or 66kV) substation,
where the voltage is stepped-down to 11kV for power
distribution to load points through a distribution
network of lines at 11kV and lower.

Transmission of Power
Efficiency of transmission Line
Whatever may be the category of transmission line, the
main aim is to transmit power from one end to another.
Like other electrical system, the transmission network
also will have some power loss and voltage drop during
transmitting power from sending end to receiving end.
Hence, performance of transmission line can be
determined by its efficiency and voltage regulation.
![Page 7: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Transmission of Power
Efficiency of transmission Line
Every transmission line will have three basic
electrical parameters.
The conductors of the line will have electrical
resistance, inductance, and capacitance.
As the transmission line is a set of conductors
being run from one place to another supported
by transmission towers, the parameters are
distributed uniformly along the line.

Transmission of Power
The transmission lines are categorized as three types:
1) Short transmission Line – the line length is up to 80 km.
2) Medium Transmission Line – the line length is between
80km to 160 km.
3) Long Transmission Line – the line length is more than
160 km.

Transmission Line Survey
A transmission line is one of essential infrastructures of
the power supply system.
In the site evaluation process for those facilities, it is
necessary to carefully consider not only technical issues,
but also the impact on natural environment, the influence
on local communities, and various regulations.
To achieve optimum line length, minimise rocky and
water terrains, reduced tower angle cut points, ROW
issues etc; it is necessary to have detailed survey, profile
of transmission line route.

Transmission Tower Erection
Method of Tower Erection
There are four main methods of erection of steel
transmission towers which are described below:
1) Build-up method or Piecemeal method.
2) Section method.
3) Ground assembly method.
4) Helicopter method.
![Page 71: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Transmission Tower Erection
Build Up Method of Tower Erection
This method is most commonly used in India for the erection
of 66kV, 132kV, 220kV and 400kV transmission line towers.
This method consists of erecting the towers, member by
member. The tower members are kept on ground serially
according to erection sequence to avoid search or time loss.
The erection progresses from the bottom upwards. The four
main corner leg members of the first section of the tower
are first erected and bolted with the stub.
![Page 72: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Transmission Tower Erection
Build Up Method of Tower Erection
The cross braces of the first section which are already
assembled on the ground are raised one by one as a unit
and bolted to the already erected corner leg angles.
The cross braces of the first section which are already
assembled on the ground are raised one by one as a unit
and bolted to the already erected corner leg angles.
The members / sections are hoisted either manually or by
winch machines operated from the ground.
After the tower top is placed and all side lacing are bolted
up. Cross – Arms are erected as complete unit .
![Page 73: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Transmission Tower Erection
Section Method of Transmission Tower Erection
In the section method, major sections of the tower are
assembled on the ground and the same are erected as units.
These Units are erected with the help of mobile cranes.
Ground Assembly Method of Tower Erection
This method consists of assembling the tower on ground, and
erecting it as a complete unit. The complete tower is
assembled in a horizontal position on even ground.
In India, this method is not generally adopted because of
prohibitive cost of mobile crane, and non-availability of good
approach roads to tower locations.
![Page 74: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Transmission Tower Erection
Helicopter Method
• In the helicopter method, the
transmission tower is erected in
section. Sometimes a completely
assembled tower is raised with
the help of helicopter.
• This method is mostly used
where access to the tower
location is limited.

Electrical Transmission Tower types and design
The main supporting unit of overhead transmission
line is transmission tower.
Transmission towers have to carry the heavy
transmission conductor at a sufficient safe height
from ground. In addition to that all towers have to
sustain all kinds of natural calamities.
So transmission tower designing is an important
engineering job where all three basic engineering
concepts, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering
concepts are equally applicable.

Types of Transmission Tower
According to different considerations, there are different
types of transmission towers.
The transmission line goes as per available corridors.
Due to unavailability of shortest distance straight
corridor transmission line has to deviate from its straight
way when obstruction comes.
In total length of a long transmission line there may be
several deviation points.

Transmission of Power
Stringing
Stringing overhead conductors in transmission is a very
specialized type of construction requiring years of
experience, as well as equipment and tools that have
been designed, tried, and proven to do the work.
![Page 105: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Transmission of Power
Medhods of installing
There are four methods that can be used to
install overhead transmission conductors:
Slack stringing
Semi-tension stringing
Full-tension stringing
Helicopter stringing
![Page 106: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Transmission of Power
Slack stringing
This type is normally limited to lower voltage lines and
smaller conductors.
The conductors are normally placed on “Reels” or “Jack
Stand” and it is unreeled from the drum and dragged
along the ground by vehicle or pulling device.
This method is typically used during construction of
new lines where Right Of Way is readily accessible.
![Page 107: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Transmission of Power
Semi Tension method of stringing
Semi tension methods are merely an upgrading of slack
stringing, but do not necessarily keep the conductor
completely clear of the ground, or the lines used to pull
![Page 108: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Transmission of Power
Full Tension method of stringing
This is a method of installing the conductors in which
sufficient pulling capabilities on one end and tension
capabilities on the other, keep the wires clear of any
obstacles during the movement of the conductor from
the reel to its final sag position.
This ensures that these current-carrying cables are
“clipped” into the support clamps in the best possible
condition, which is the ultimate goal of the work itself.
![Page 109: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Transmission of Power
Stringing with helicopters
This is much more expensive per hour of work, but can be much
less expensive when extremely arduous terrain exists along the
right-of-way and when proper pre-planning is utilized.
Although pulling conductors themselves with a helicopter can be
done, it is limited and normally not practical.
Maximum efficiency can be achieved when structures are set and
pilot lines are pulled with the helicopter, and then the conductor
stringing is done in a conventional manner.

2. The drums should always be transported in vertical position with
the cable ends fixed to prevent cable from slackening.
3. The drum should not be stored on its side under any
circumstances whatsoever.
4. The ends of the cable should be sealed to prevent water
penetration.
5. Loading and unloading are performed so that the drum remains
in vertical position and the sides of the drum are not damaged.

Guying Precautions which should be taken at the time of guying?
The guys used generally are 20 mm steel wire rope. The guys are
attached to the tower at the tip of the cross arm , to the strain
plates with suitable D-shackles.
The guys are anchored in the ground at an angle of 45 deg. or
less from the horizontal, attached to dead end anchors .
The guy wire is attached to the dead end anchor wire with the
help of turn buckles of 10 tons capacity.
Excessive tightening of guy should be avoided. It is advisable to
tighten the guy progressively at the time of rough sagging of the
conductor.

Insulator Hoisting
![Page 125: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
Insulator Hoisting Single / Double suspension insulator strings are used on
suspension towers and single /double tension insulator strings are
used on angle and dead end towers. This is generally indicated in
the tower schedule.
Double suspension insulator strings are used lines on Suspension
towers of Railway, River and Power Line Crossings only.

Suspension Type Insulators
Consist of a number of porcelain discs connected in series by metal links in the form of a string.
![Page 127: Construction EHV Transmission Line](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052121/55a203e61a28ab38268b48bf/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
Suspension Type Insulators
The conductor is suspended at the
bottom end of this string while the
other end of the string is secured
to the cross-arm of the tower.
These insulators have a number of
interconnected porcelain discs,
with each unit designed to support
a particular voltage.
Together, a system of these discs is
capable of effectively supporting
high voltages.

Strain Type Insulators
When there is a dead end of the
line or there is corner or sharp
curve, the line is subjected to
greater tension. To relieve the line
of excessive tension, strain
insulators are used.
However, for the high voltage
transmission lines, strain insulator
consists of an assembly of
suspension insulators as shown.

Strain Type Insulators
Strain type insulators are
horizontally suspended suspension
insulators.
When the tension in lines is
exceedingly high, at long river
spans, power line, railway & road
crossings, two or more strings are
used in parallel.
Strain insulators are typically used
for high voltage transmissions.

Payout
The paying out of conductor is done generally between two
tension towers. In between two tension towers, there could
be either zero or one or more suspension towers.
A pilot wire is used to pull the conductor. The pilot wire is
initially laid through the centre wheel of the roller.
The pilot wire can be laid and joined with pilot wire
connectors or it can be pulled from one side of the section.
Scaffolding shall be provided for P&T and road crossing before
paying out of the pilot wire.
