Advantages and disadvantages of high voltage and low current
Advantages of using high voltage and low currentReduce transmission losses Resistance loss: According to Joule's law (P=I2R), the greater the current, the greater the resistance loss. Therefore, in the case of transmitting the same power, the use of high voltage and small current can significantly reduce the resistance loss. Wire size: The use of high voltage can reduce the current density in the wire, allowing the use of thinner wires and reducing material costs.Improve transmission efficiency
