Transmission-line reference book, 345 kV and above. [ac systems at 345 to 1500 kV]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6253000
This book is the culmination of a 7-y effort, 1967 through 1973, titled Project UHV, to produce a new transmission design book for power transmissions systems operating at 375 kV through 1500 kV. Research results from Project UHV, sponsored by the Electric Research Council in the US and from projects all over the world were used. The data for uhv transmission had to be derived from single-phase tests with experimental 3-phase verification expected from a 3-phase program begun in 1974. The chapters in this reference describe the UHV Project, ehv-uhv transmission systems, electrical characteristics of ehv-uhv configurations and circuits, corona phenomena and corona loss on ac lines, interference problems, audible noise, electrostatic effects of overhead lines and stations, insulation design considering both operating voltages and switching surges, and the lighting performance of ehv-uhv lines. Extensive descriptive material, calculation methods, and both theoretical and empirical data are presented.
