Analysis of Transmission line Capacitance for Single and three phase


system in MATLAB
Objective
• Analysis of Transmission Line Parameter Capacitance for Single and Three phase system in
MATLAB

Software Required
• MATLAB

Theory

The transmission lines are modeled by means of the parameters resistance, inductance,
capacitance and conductance. Resistance and inductance together is called transmission line
impedance. Also capacitance and conductance in parallel is called admittance, here we are
not going to derive the formulas rather to develop some concepts

Capacitance
Capacitance of the symmetrical three-phase line
Let a balanced system of voltage be applied to a symmetrical three-phase-line shown below

The potential difference between conductor a and b can be written as

Similarly, potential difference between conductors a and c is

The line-to-neutral capacitance

The capacitance of symmetrical three-phase line is same as that of the two-wire line.

Capacitance Calculation in Unsymmetrical Spacing


The calculation of capacitance in case of conductors in three phase system which are not
equally spaced is difficult. If the line is untransposed the capacitances of each phase to
neutral is not same.
In case of transposed line the average capacitance of each line to neutral over a complete
transposition cycle is same as the average capacitance to neutral of any other phase. Each
conductor occupies the same position of every other conductor after equal distance. The
effect of unsymmetry between the lines is small and calculations are carried out by
considering transposition of lines.
The Fig. 1 shows three phase line with unsymmetrical spacing. The radius of each
conductor is r.

When phase 'a' is in position 1, 'b' in position 2 and 'c' is in position 3.

When phase 'a' is in position 2, 'b' in position 3 and 'c' is in position 1.

When phase 'a' is in position 3, 'b' in position 1 and 'c' is in position 2.

Average voltage between conductors 'a' and 'b' is given by

Similarly average voltage drop between a and c is given by,

We have, Vab + Vac = 3 Van
