SOLUTIONS USING MATLAB PROGRAMS

 

CHAPTER 2
Example 2.7

Calculate the inductance of a conductor (line-to-neutral) of a three-phase system as shown in Fig. 2.17, which has 1.2 cm diameter and conductors are placed at the corner of an equilateral triangle of sides 1.5 m.

MATLAB programme for Example 2.7

% TO FIND INDUCTANCE

clc;

clear all;

d = input(’ENTER THE DIAMETER OF THE CONDUCTOR IN cm:’)

s = input(’ENTER THE LENGTH OF THE SIDE OF THE TRIANGLE in metres:’)

r = d/2;

effR = 0.7788*r;

L = 2*10^(-7)*log(s*100/effR)*1000

Result:

ENTER THE DIAMETER OF THE CONDUCTOR IN cm:1.2

d=

ENTER THE LENGTH OF THE SIDE OF THE TRIANGLE in metres:1.5

s=
