Previous Year Question
The type of line support in transmission line does not depend upon the:
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Support selection is governed by mechanical and insulation requirements such as conductor size/weight, span and voltage level. Load power factor is an electrical load characteristic and does not determine the physical type of line support.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Answer
B — power factor of the load
Explanation
Support selection is governed by mechanical and insulation requirements such as conductor size/weight, span and voltage level. Load power factor is an electrical load characteristic and does not determine the physical type of line support.
Key Concept
Factors Governing Support Selection
Exam Point
Supports depend on mechanics + insulation, not load power factor.
Exam tip
Supports depend on mechanics + insulation, not load power factor.
Quick method
Supports depend on mechanics + insulation, not load power factor.
