Expert Solution
Step 1

Bundled conductors are made up of two or more stranded conductors that have been bundled together to increase current carrying capability. The bundled conductor, also known as the sub conductor, is a conductor made up of two or more conductors. Because of the reduced corona loss and radio interference, bundled conductors are used in extra high voltage transmission. With bundle conductor lines, bulk power is transmitted with less loss and increased transmission efficiency.
