Question

One circuit of a single-phase transmission line is composed of three conductors situated at the corners of an equilateral triangle with 10 cm spacing. The return circuit is composed of three conductors arranged also in an equilateral triangle with 10 cm spacing. All conductors are identical, solid cylindrical conductors, each with a radius of 2 cm. Find the inductance of the complete line in mH/mile.

Step 1

The formula for self-inductance (Ls) of a long straight conductor is given by: Ls = 0.2 * log(D/r) where D is the distance between the conductors and r is the radius of the conductor. In this case, D = 10 cm and r = 2 cm. So, Ls = 0.2 * log(10/2) = 0.2 * log(5) Show more…
