Sag In Transmission Line And Corona EffectGroup Members Asad Mahmood JadoonWaqarHasnain Bashir
What Is Sag In Transmission Line?Sag is defined as the difference in level between point of support and the lowest point of conductor.
Actual Picture Of Sag In a Transmission Line
General Figure Of Line Sag
Formula For Sag Calculation
Factors Affecting Sag In Transmission LineTemperatureAgingWindIce
Effect Of Temperature On Sag
Effect Of Temperature On SagAs the temperature increases, the outstretched conductor length will increase by an amount equal to: L =TSWhere = the coefficient of thermal expansion T = the temperature increase in oC S = the span length in meters
This will result in increase in sag and decrease in conductor tension
Effect Of Age On SagConductor sag over time may increasedue to the effects of strand settling in andmetallurgical creep. A higher tension may beused when the conductor is first erected toallow for settling in of conductor strandsand for subsequent metallurgical creep ofthe conductor material
Effect Of Age Of Line On Sag
Effect Of Wind & Ice On Sag A wind load on the conductor will increase the apparent weight of the conductor resulting in an in increase in tension Whereas Ice build up on the conductor will increase the apparent diameter and weight of the conductor

What Is Corona ?The phenomenon of violet glow, hissing sound & production of ozone gas in over head Transmission Line is known as Corona.
Effect of CoronaA Violet glow Hissing SoundProduces Ozone GasMax at Rough & Dirty surface of conductorPower Loss
Factor affecting CoronaAtmosphereConductorSpacing Between ConductorLine Voltage
Atmosphere AffectBreakdown voltage inversely proportional to Density(number of Ions) of AirEg in Stormy Weather the number of ions may be more then normal so corona occur at less voltage
ConductorAffectCorona depends on size(diameter),shape(stranded/smooth) & surface condition(dirty/clean)Corona Is Inversely proportional to DiameterStranded conductor give rise to more corona then solid conductorDirt increases irregularity and thereby Decreases breakdown voltage
Corona Is Inversely proportional to Spacing between the conductor
Line Voltage AffectLine Voltage Directly Proportional to CoronaSpacing Affect Between Conductor
Advantages Of CoronaVitual Diameter Of Conductor Increases & reduces electrostatic stressCorona reduces the effect of transients produced by surges
Disadvantages Of CoronaCorona causes power losses that affects transmission efficiencyOzone Production causes corrosion of conductor due to chemical reactionNon sinusoidal voltage drop occurs in the line cause the inductive interference with the communication line.
Corona power lossCorona has power loss which has effect on the efficiency of transmission lineThe power loss is effected both by atmospheric and line conditionIn case of fair weather

Methods of Reducing Corona EffectCritical voltage will increase by increasing the spacing between the conductor.By using the bundle conductor corona loss is decrease.Corona loss can be decreased by increasing the diameter of the conductor.
Corona discharge images under different gaps (applied voltage: 120kV, 1kHz). The discharge length from 1020cm gaps is 6.5cm (10cm), 5cm (12cm), 4cm (14cm), 2.5cm (16cm), 2cm (18cm) and 2cm (20cm)
