An extra high voltage test transmission line at Apple Grove, WV, was energized at 775 kV, marking the start of a five year research and test program. Its purpose will be to develop the information and experience needed to transmit large blocks of power at voltages up to 750 kV. Prime objective on the project is to obtain data on corona loss and radio influence (RI) performance of conductors at a nominal voltage of 750 kV.
