What is meant by line losses, how do you prevent the losses?

Answer Posted / r. anand

Line loss means power loss occuring during transmission of
Electric power. It is mainly due to copper loss(I2R). The
best way to reduce this is by increasing the voltage by
using a step up transformer, because when stepping up the
voltage, current decreases proportionatily. when I
decreases, I2 also will. Thus altogether I2R will decrease.
