How does the amount of power a transmission line can handle vary with its
voltage and the distance? In other words, how much power could a 10 mile
long 69kV line carry during normal usage (excluding unusual conditions
that may produce temporary overloads)? Or, put another way, if I had to
transmit 100 megawatts 20 miles, what voltage would be necessary?
How does the answer vary if there are two circuits used rather than one?
Is it just double?
I know the size of the conductors affects the answer, I'm curious about
the largest commonly used size for a given voltage.
