Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of protection is commonly used for transmission lines?
  • Step 1: Understand what transmission lines are. They are wires that carry electricity over long distances.
  • Step 2: Know that sometimes there can be problems (called faults) in these lines, which can cause too much electricity to flow.
  • Step 3: Learn that overcurrent protection is a safety measure used to prevent damage from these faults.
  • Step 4: Realize that overcurrent protection works by monitoring the amount of electricity flowing through the line.
  • Step 5: If the electricity exceeds a certain safe level, the protection system will disconnect the line to prevent damage.
