Cable Modelling
List of inputs required:
The below table represents the list of the inputs required for modelling of cable.
Table 1 : List of inputs required
Modelling of Cable:
Step-1: Open EMTPWorks → Create a new document →Save the file.
Step-2: Drag and drop the “cable data” from lines library into GUI.
Step-3: Double click on the cable data → Enter the cable type as single core and number of
cables as 3.
Step-4: Enter the conductor data parameters as shown in below from Table 1.

Step-7: Goto generate tab → Enter the file name → Enable the Run this case.
Step-9: Import Cable parameters
The calculated cable parameters are saved as a text file. The parameters are linked to the
cable model for performing the simulations.
• Drag and drop the ‘wideband line/cable fitter function’ and ‘Wide band Line/Cable” to
GUI
• Double-click on the ‘wideband fitter function’ → Select the data input device name →
click ok.
WB Fitter
• Wide band fitter is running and Mplot will be opened → Click ok.
