The maximum power can be achieved in a transmission line by

A. Reducing system transfer Reactance
B. Increasing the Voltage level
C. Both 1 and 2
D. None of the above

Answer: C. Both 1 and 2

Explanation: 


To reduce the power loss in the transmission line the source voltage is stepped up by using the transformer.

By increasing the voltage level the same amount of power can transfer with a much smaller current thus reducing transmission line losses (I2R losses).

The system transfer reactance of a transmission line can be reduced by the series capacitance, bundled conductor, or by using parallel transmission line.

The advantages of high transmission voltage are
