• Sommario/riassunto: About the Book: Modern power transmission is utilizing voltages between 345 kV and 1150 kV, A.C. Distances of transmission and bulk ; powers handled have increased to such an extent that extra high voltages and ultra high voltages (EHV and UHV) are necessary. The problems encountered with such high voltage transmission lines exposed to nature are electrostatic fields near the lines, audible noise, radio interference, corona losses, carrier and TV interference, high voltage gradients, heavy bundled conductors, control of voltages at power frequency using shunt reactors of the switched type which
