ABSTRACT
One of the necessary conditions for a reliable electric power supply is a well-functioning transmission system. An electric transmission line primarily has three circuit parameters which are resistance that causes power loss in a transmission line; inductance that arises due to change in flux linkage that contributes to induced voltage that causes loss in a transmission line; and capacitance that is the result of the potential difference between the conductors, the effect of which is predominant of increased voltage. The frequency of the AC voltage produces effect on the conductor resistance due to the non-uniform distribution of the current. The performance of transmission line depends on these parameters of the line. Once evaluated, the line parameters are used to model the transmission line and to perform design calculations. In Chapter 3 prime circuit parameters of transmission line, i.e., resistance, inductance and capacitance for different configuration of transmission lines, are presented.
