Question

The losses in transmission lines are:

• A. Radiation losses only
• B. Conductor heating only
• C. Dielectric heating only
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The losses in transmission lines are :-

Radiation loss - It happens due to the loss of energy through the process of radiation and convection with the outer atmosphere.

Conductor loss - As conductors are used to transmit the data . The current loss due to these conductor's also take place.

Dielectric heating - It is caused at high frequencies , when the insulating material inside the transmission line absorb energy from altering electric field and converts it to heat.
