OSTI ID:5556293
When the ehv test transmission line at Apple Grove, West Virginia, was energized on June 22 at 775 kV, it marked the start of a five year research and test program in which power engineers expect to determine the technical and economic feasibility of bulk power transfer at voltages up to 750 kV. Prime objective is to obtain data on corona loss and radio influence performance of conductors at 750 kV nomina. Special features allow simultaneous independent RI readings to be taken on each of the three lines.
