  2. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    The resistance and conductance contribute to the loss in a transmission line. The total loss of power in a transmission line is often specified in decibels per metre (dB/m), and usually depends on the frequency of the signal. The manufacturer often supplies a chart showing the loss in dB/m at a range of frequencies.

  3. Slack bus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_bus

    The slack bus provides or absorbs active and reactive power to and from the transmission line to provide for losses, since these variables are unknown until the final solution is established. The slack bus is the only bus for which the system reference phase angle is defined. From this, the various angular differences can be calculated in the ...

  4. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    If the transmission line is not matched at both ends reflections from the load will be re-reflected at the source and re-re-reflected at the load end ad infinitum, losing energy on each transit of the transmission line. This can cause a resonance condition and strongly frequency-dependent behavior.

  5. Mismatch loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mismatch_loss

    Mismatch loss in transmission line theory is the amount of power expressed in decibels that will not be available on the output due to impedance mismatches and signal reflections. A transmission line that is properly terminated, that is, terminated with the same impedance as that of the characteristic impedance of the transmission line, will ...

  6. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    Versions of the transmission-line equation may be similarly derived for the admittance loss free case and for the impedance and admittance lossy cases. The Smith chart graphical equivalent of using the transmission-line equation is to normalise Z L , {\displaystyle \,Z_{\mathsf {L}}\,,} to plot the resulting point on a Z Smith chart and to draw ...

  7. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    High- and medium-voltage power lines in Łomża, Poland Extra high-voltage overhead line 750 kV. Overhead power transmission lines are classified in the electrical power industry by the range of voltages: Low voltage (LV) – less than 1000 Volts, used for connection between a residential or small commercial customer and the utility.

  8. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Rural electrification systems tend to use higher distribution voltages because of the longer distances covered by distribution lines (see Rural Electrification Administration). 7.2, 12.47, 25, and 34.5 kV distribution is common in the United States; 11 kV and 33 kV are common in the UK, Australia and New Zealand; 11 kV and 22 kV are common in ...

  9. Transmission loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_loss

    Transmission loss in underwater acoustics describes the decrease of sound intensity that is reduced by a bubble curtain or other damping structure at a given frequency. The same term is sometimes used to mean propagation loss , which is a measure of the reduction in sound intensity between the sound source and a receiver, defined as the ...
