Power transmission Definition:

Power transmission can be basically defined as the movement of energy from where it is generated to a location where the energy is applied to perform work.

Power is calculated in terms of Energy transmitted per unit time:

Power = Energy / Time

In SI units power is commonly expressed in terms of :

Power = Watt or Joules / Sec or Newton Meter / Second

In US customary units power is commonly expressed in terms of:

Power = Horse Power or British Thermal Unit (BTU) / Hour or Foot Pound Force/Hour

Types of Power Transmission:

The common types of Power Transmission include...

Electrical: Electric power is transmitted by overhead and underground cables over a long distance.

Wireless: Power transmitted like radio waves, change in electromagnetic fields, etc.

Mechanical: Mechanical power is by means of direct contact with elements like gears, belts, chains, etc. The liquid is pressurized in Hydraulic systems to transmit power, while pneumatic systems use compressed air to transmit power.

Thermal Power: Thermal power is transmitted by the flow of fluids like oil in pipelines by using the high heat capacity of such fluids.
