why transmission lines traveled in high voltage?

Answer Posted / lakshmi

at constant power for higher voltages the current is
reduced according to the equation P = V I cos (phi)
then I = P/V cos (phi)
reduced current means less losses and incresed efficiency.
and also the size of the conductor is less due low current.
hence it is economical to transmitt higher voltages.
thats why the generated voltages are stepped up to higher
voltages.

Sir, My doubt on cable sizing calculation, Load:74 KW calculated cable 1 run 50mm2. Now client asking us to reduce cable size by increasing runs. Sir, My question now when my mind strikes with 2 options 1) Divide load 74/2 = 36 and calculate cable for 36+36 making it 2 runs or 2) Simply i can divide 50mm2 /2 ie. 2 runs of 25mm2 Please suggest me sir
