Power Transmission and Distribution, , Transmission loss., > When electricity is transmitted to distant places there is loss of, energy in the conductors in the form of heat. This is known as, transmission loss., , > In India electricity is produced at 11 kV (11000 V) in power, stations., , > What are the methods to reduce the heat generated?, Reduce current, Reduce Resistance, Reduce the time taken, , > How can we reduce the current without change in power? Find, out on the basis of the equation P = VxI., By increasing the Voltage., , > What is the method to reduce the transmission loss?, The voltage is increased up to 220 kV at the power station itself, (Depending on the distance to which the transmission is to be, done, different voltages like 110 kV, 400 kV, are also made use, of). As a result the current and loss of energy in the form of heat, decreases.
