STANDARD PARAMETER OF 800 KV CLASS TRANSMIISSION SYSTEM IN INDIA

PREFACE
Earlier in the year 1990 Central Electricity Authority (CEA) brought out a report detailing
parameters of the 800 kV class equipment and transmission line material based on the
recommendations of Working Groups constituted following the decision of Government of India to
select 800 kV (with 765 kV as the nominal voltage) as the next higher AC Transmission voltage in
the country. Following this, a good number of lines were identified at this voltage. Though some of
these lines have been installed maintaining 800 kV class parameters, they are being operated at 400
kV level for want of adequate power development. Accordingly associated substations continue to be
at 400 kV level.
But with the initiative taken to have electricity for all by the year 2012, coinciding with the end of
11th five-year plan, now it is a near-reality to charge the above mentioned lines at 765 kV and
construct few more intra-regional and inter-regional lines at that level with a dozen or so number of
substations. Keeping this in mind and the progress that has been further made and as experienced in
few countries that have this class of transmission system, it was felt necessary to revive the Standing
EHV Committee of CEA with representations from leading power utilities and manufacturers in the
country. As per order of Ministry of Power it was reconstituted in the year 2000. A few meetings
took place for revising the salient parameters of 800 kV class of equipment and transmission material
and reviewing those for 400 kV level through separate groups. The present report is an outcome of
the deliberations in the meetings and inputs received from the members concerned. It is expected that
the contents would serve power utilities as the basis of design and engineering of 800 kV
transmission system in the country.

* These are the values suggested in IEC- 815, 1986, which is applicable to System Voltage of up to
525kV. As the pollution withstand characteristics is known to be non-linear for higher voltages,

requiring increased creepage distance in proportion to the non-linearity factor. Studies by ENEL,
EPRI, CIGRE suggest that this factor may be as high as 20% for 800 kV System. Hence creepage
distances presented in the Table are to be appropriately increased. Further, these values may not be
suitable for station insulation since the influence of diameter is considerable on the pollution
performance.
