- Calculate inductance and capacitance for various geometrical configurations of both single- and three-phase systems
- Understand the effect of ground on capacitance calculations
2.1 INTRODUCTION
An overhead transmission line has groups of conductors running parallel to each other, carried on line supports. An electric transmission line conductor has four parameters: which are series combination of resistance, inductance, shunt combination of capacitance and conductance. The parameters are symbolized as R, L, C, and G, respectively. These are ...
