Transmission-line electric loadings

THE loading of transmission lines depends upon many factors worthy of review at this time. With the removal of restrictions on critical materials, system engineers will give renewed consideration to their fundamental system design, and their effort may be expected to result in careful study to lower costs. This endeavor ultimately will result in standardization of apparatus and of system arrangements of proved designs. It is desirable to take a look into the future at this time, therefore, to determine what the transmission-line design loadings should be in order to make best use of the developments and experience of the past decade. This paper is devoted to an analysis and discussion of some of the important factors determining transmission-line electric loadings.
