Transmission Lines?
There are two major type of Losses:
1) Fixed Type Losses
2) Variable Type Losses
• Corona Losses
• Leakage Current Losses
• Dielectric Losses
• Losses caused by continuous load of measuring elements
• Losses caused by continuous load of control elements
2) Variable Type Losses:
One of the main causes of power loss is the Joule effect(I^2R Losses)
found in transformers and power lines. The energy is lost in the form
of heat in the conductors.

Different power is lost at different stages:
1-2% of energy is lost during the step-up transformer from when the
electricity is generated to when it is transmitted.
2-4% of energy is lost in the transmission lines
1-2% of energy is lost during the step-down of the transform from the
transmission line to distribution.
4-6% of energy is lost during the distribution
So, the average loss of power between the power plant and consumers ranges
between 8-15%
How to Reduce Power Loss
in Transmission Lines
When high currents are used to induce more heat on the electrical
conductors, this leads to there being a significant loss of energy as heat. That
is mainly when the power is transmitted through a distant place from the
energy plant. Thus, to reduce and prevent the loss of energy, the current
needs to be low, and the current small depending on the wattage required.
