Introduction of Ferranti Effect in Transmission Lines The Ferranti Effect is a phenomenon that occurs in long-distance high voltage transmission lines. It is a condition where the voltage at the receiving end of the line becomes higher than the voltage at the sending end especially under light load conditions. ...

Introduction of Corona Effect in Transmission Lines The corona effect is a phenomenon that occurs when the electric field around a transmission line becomes strong enough to ionize the air surrounding the conductor. This ionization produces a visible blue or purple glow often called a corona discharge.  The effect...

Introduction of Skin Effect in Transmission Lines This effect becomes increasingly important at high frequencies. Skin effect has practical implications in the design of transmission lines, electrical systems, and signal transmission, affecting the efficiency and performance of power systems, communication networks, and high-frequency circuits. In this article you will...

Introduction of Radial distribution system Radial distribution system is a common configuration used in electrical distribution networks. It is designed to deliver electricity from the power source to the end users in a straight and efficient manner. In Radial distribution system system electricity flows from a single source to...

AC Transmission vs DC Transmission system Introduction of AC Transmission and DC Transmission system In AC, the direction of the current alternates periodically. The voltage alternates between positive and negative values in a sinusoidal wave. In DC, the current flows in only one direction, with a constant voltage. However,...
