Most power stations burn fuel to produce high-pressure steam that drives a turbine to generate electrical power.
Higher current in transmission cables results in less energy wasted as thermal energy.
Transformers are useful because they help reduce power loss in transmission cables.
Power stations generate electricity at 400 kV before it is transmitted.
Low-voltage transmission cables have higher energy wastage compared to high-voltage cables.
Superconducting cables with zero resistance can be kept at room temperature.
The power lost in transmission cables can be calculated using the formula P=I2×R.
At 25,000 V, the power loss in a cable with 4.0 Ω resistance carrying 160 A is 102,000 W.
Electricity supply companies expect to lose 2.6% of the power generated by the power station during transmission.
At 230 V, a cable with 4.0 Ω resistance carrying 17,400 A will have minimal power loss.
