T-type line clamps are fittings used to connect a main conductor with a branch line, allowing for the transmission of electrical loads while also supporting certain mechanical loads.

Importance in High Voltage Transmission Lines

High voltage transmission lines serve as crucial links between substations, facilitating the transfer of electrical power and forming an essential part of the power grid. The design of these transmission lines often incorporates T-junction connections.

T-Junction Connections

Definition: A T-junction connection refers to the method of connecting two lines of the same voltage level at their intersection using a short circuit line. This connection links different spatial layers of the lines.

Function: For example, a line from Substation A might supply power simultaneously to Substations B and C.Advantages: 

Cost Efficiency: Reduces investment costs by minimizing the need for additional substations.

Space Optimization: Requires fewer electrical intervals, making it a practical choice for complex grid layouts.

This T-junction connection is visually represented as a "T," with the point of connection referred to as the T-junction point.
