Abstract

Overhead lines dominate the planet much more than underground cable system primarily because of its lower cost of transmission (as low as 10 % of underground transmission). Disc insulators form a critical component in isolating the line conductors from tower structures both in EHVAC and HVDC transmission lines. Over the years, many types of materials are chosen for use in the transmission lines right from porcelain, glass till composite insulators. In this paper, feasibility study has been made to utilize porcelain disc insulators used in EHVAC lines to HVDC lines while line conversion.
