Safety Measures in Trial Pits and Trenches for Underground Cabling Works

When carrying out the work of cable laying in the underground transmission line, the trench is to be dug/ prepared. Trench work should be done by following safety precautions. All pits and trench work shall comply with WorkSafe requirements, particularly the WorkSafe Code of Practice: Excavation. They may include but are not limited to: When

Overhead Versus Underground Power Transmission

The transmission lines are used to transmit the power for long-distance. There are two types of transmission lines; Overhead Transmission line Underground Transmission line Overhead transmission line uses bare conductors. These conductors placed at a height from the ground. To maintain clearance between the conductors and ground, supporting towers are used. The voltage of the

CLASSIFICATION OF HVDC LINKS

HVDC links may be broadly classified into the following categories: Monopolar Links Bipolar Links Homopolar Links The basic configuration of a monopolar link is shown in figure. It uses one conductor, usually of negative polarity. The return path is provided by ground or water. Cost considerations often lead to the use of such systems, particularly

APPLICATIONS OF HIGH VOLTAGE DC TRANSMISSION

1) CONNECTING REMOTE GENERATION Some energy sources, such as hydro and solar power, are often located hundreds or thousands kilometers away from the load centers. HVDC will reliably deliver electricity generated from mountain tops, deserts and seas across vast distances with low losses. 2) INTERCONNECTING GRIDS Connecting AC grids is done for stabilization purposes and
