associated with DC transmis sion lines because the DC lines do not have t he inductive
reactance line impedance associat ed with AC transmission lines. Both AC and DC
transmission line conductors have associated line resistance which creates conductor
voltage drops with c orresponding power losses . It has been es timated that as high as 10%
of the electri cal energy generated, transmit ted, and distributed could be lost in some line
conductor install ations.
