HORNLEAD Meaning and
Definition
-
Hornlead is a term primarily used in the field of electricity and electrical engineering to refer to a specific type of configuration or layout in a three-phase electrical system. It is typically associated with the connection arrangement of conductor wires in a high-voltage transmission line.
In a hornlead configuration, the three phase conductors are arranged in a triangular or "Y" shape, resembling the branching of a horn. Each phase conductor originates from a common point, known as the horn point or lead point, and extends outward, resembling the "branches" of the horn. The hornlead configuration allows for the efficient transmission of electrical power over long distances.
This type of arrangement is commonly used in overhead power transmission systems, specifically in higher voltage transmission lines. It offers several advantages such as balanced load distribution, improved fault current handling capability, and reduced electrical losses. Additionally, the hornlead arrangement can provide some inherent redundancy, as loss of one phase or conductor does not necessarily result in a complete power outage.
The term "hornlead" is derived from the physical resemblance of the conductor arrangement to the shape of a horn. The word "lead" in this context refers to the point of origin or the main connection point of the conductors.
