The ehv test transmission line at Apple Grove was energized in June 1961 at 775 kV. Prime objective of the project is to obtain data on corona loss and radio influence performance of conductors at a nominal voltage of 750 kV to determine the technical and economic feasibility of transmitting large blocks of power at this extra high voltage. The article includes a sketch of the physical layout of the project. Some details of the line and tests are given.
