Why Aluminium prefered in transmission line than Copper?

Image
Overhead power line is an important part of power system.  The cost and life of transmission line primarily depend on the material used for making conductor for transmission line. The most important and much suitable material for conductor of transmission line is copper as it having high conductivity and high tensile strength, More ever it is having good ductility. Only Limitation is its cost. With the discovery of practical mass production methods for aluminum processing, the price of aluminum quickly fell, making it a more affordable choice for manufacturers and designers. It takes an aluminum wire with a diameter 1.5 times that of copper to transmit the same amount of electricity, but that wire will be three times lighter, meaning that aluminum is a more efficient material for electrical applications. High voltage overhead power lines are manufactured from aluminum to reduce weight while supplying good conductivity. Aluminum is having sufficient conductivity. More ever it is light i

What is vampire Energy?

If your electricity bill is unpredictable from month to month or it’s consistently higher than you would like, vampire power may be the culprit. What is Vampire Energy? Vampire power also called phantom power or standby mode, in which appliances consume energy even when they are shut off, can account for up to 20% of your monthly electricity bill. While sitting unused and idle, your TV or toaster oven is sucking money right out of your pocketbook. Why Do Devices Leak Energy? Essentially, every cord that remains plugged into an outlet is still using an electric current. While many devices have sleep or standby modes, they continuously use energy to perform updates, connect to remote servers, and record data. The connectivity of modern technology is one reason why devices leak energy. Even when the TV is off, for example, it’s still ready to receive a signal from the remote to power on at any time. Your DVR is always “lying in wait” until it’s time to record the next show or running behi
