string efficiency calculator
Calculate string efficiency for suspension insulators by comparing total voltage to disc voltage distribution. Ideal for power transmission line design.

String efficiency identifies the level of uniformity of the juice of suspension insulators. It is given as a percentage where 100 percent means ideal sharing in terms of voltage.

String Efficiency Calculator calculates the efficiency of a cable of suspension-type insulators, such as those found in high voltage transmission lines. Voltage distribution across discs in a string is never uniform in practice, because of capacitance between discs and because of the tower. The greater efficiency of strings implies the more efficient usage of the units of the insulator, plus the enhanced functioning even when under high voltages. The calculator has applications in electrical engineering in the design of a better transmission line insulator, supplies corona loss reduction, and plots better voltage distribution.
Corona loss insulator efficiency
| Total Voltage (kV) | Discs | Disc Voltage (kV) | Efficiency (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 132 | 6 | 30 | 73.33 |
| 220 | 10 | 28 | 78.57 |
