Shunt conductance in overhead power transmission lines is primarily due to
- A. Leakage over the insulators
- B. Leakage over the conductors
- C. Leakage over the poles
- D. Leakage between ground and conductors
Answer: A. Leakage over the insulators
Explanation: Shunt conductance G represents the real leakage current flowing across the surface of overhead line insulators to the supporting towers and ground.
