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

Answer Posted / ram t shelke

line losses can be divided as 1) copper losses 2) reactive
power loss 3) corona loss. copper loss mostly depends on
current flowing through the line & resistance of the
conductor.so try to keep these two values to minimum by
increasing system voltage& selecting proper size conductor.
reactive losses can be reduced by managing line loading
nearer to SIL conditions.the corona loss can be reduced by
increasing conductor size or using hallow size conductors.
