Transmission Line Capacity

Transmission line capacity refers to the maximum amount of electrical power a high-voltage line can safely carry from power plants to substations without overheating or damaging the line. It depends on factors like the line’s material, size, and design, as well as environmental conditions. Higher capacity lines can transmit more electricity efficiently over long distances, reducing losses and improving reliability. Ensuring the right capacity is essential for meeting energy demands while maintaining safety and performance standards.
