transmission conductors were successfully commissioned by Power Grid Corporation
of India Ltd in the country's first 765kV extra high voltage (EHV) transmission
line that was recently charged. STL was the sole manufacturer and supplier of
over 4,200 km of ACSR Bersimis conductors that were installed in Circuit-I of
the 351 km route of the Sipat-Seoni EHV transmission line that connects
Chhattisgarh & Madhya Pradesh. The Sipat-Seoni line will transmit 1,500 MVA
power on a single circuit line. These 765kV lines will be able to link
generation projects at the pitheads with the consuming states across the country
and in process reduce transmission losses.
