  2. Balun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balun

    Transmission line transformers commonly use small ferrite cores in toroidal rings or two-hole, binocular, shapes. The Guanella transmission line transformer (Guanella 1944) is often combined with a balun to act as an impedance matching transformer. Putting balancing aside a transformer of this type consists of a 75 Ω transmission line divided ...

    A major barrier to wider adoption of merchant transmission is the difficulty in identifying who benefits from the facility so that the beneficiaries pay the toll. Also, it is difficult for a merchant transmission line to compete when the alternative transmission lines are subsidized by utilities with a monopolized and regulated rate base. [43]

  4. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    They were developed by Oliver Heaviside who created the transmission line model, and are based on Maxwell's equations. Schematic representation of the elementary component of a transmission line. The transmission line model is an example of the distributed-element model. It represents the transmission line as an infinite series of two-port ...

  5. Transformer types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types

    Although called a "transmission line" transformer, it is distinct from the transformers made from segments of transmission line. The name "transmission-line" is used because actual coaxial line is sometimes used, and when paired wires are used, the builder is expected to take special care with the wire spacing, to ensure that the transmission ...

  6. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Transformers step down transmission voltages, 35 kV or more, down to primary distribution voltages. These are medium voltage circuits, usually 600–35 000 V. [1] From the transformer, power goes to the busbar that can split the distribution power off in multiple directions. The bus distributes power to distribution lines, which fan out to ...

  7. Quarter-wave impedance transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter-wave_impedance...

    Using a transmission line as an impedance transformer. A quarter-wave impedance transformer, often written as λ/4 impedance transformer, is a transmission line or waveguide used in electrical engineering of length one-quarter wavelength (λ), terminated with some known impedance.

  8. Three-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

    Three-phase transformer with four-wire output for 208Y/120 volt service: one wire for neutral, others for A, B and C phases. Three-phase electric power (abbreviated 3ϕ [1]) is a common type of alternating current (AC) used in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. [2]

  9. History of electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_electric_power...

    In 1965, the first extra-high-voltage transmission at 735 kV took place on a Hydro-Québec transmission line. [53] In 1982 the first transmission at 1200 kV was in the Soviet Union. The rapid industrialization in the 20th century made electrical transmission lines and grids a critical part of the economic infrastructure in most industrialized ...
