BUNDLED CONDUCTORS IN TRANSMISSION LINE Bundling of conductors in a transmission line is a product of experts' ingenuity. In support to this post regarding bundled conductors, we will discuss here how bundling of conductors can affect the losses in the transmission lines. Bundling of conductors in the transmission lines helps lessen the effect of the two major phenomena the exist especially in voltage levels of 220kV and up namely; the CORONA effect and the SKIN effect . Corona, also known as partial discharge, is a type of localized emission resulting from transient gaseous ionization in an insulation system when the voltage stress, i.e., voltage gradient, exceeds a critical value.
