Transmission Line Parameters part 3

Course Instructor
Capacitance of a Transmission line

• The result of the Potential difference between


conductors
• Constant depending on the size and spacing of
conductors
• For power lines less than 80km (50 mi) long, the
effect of capacitance can be slight and is often
neglected
• For longer lines of higher voltage capacitance
becomes increasingly important
• Since capacitance is shunt between two
conductors, current flows in a transmission line
even when it is open circuited.
• Affects the voltage drop and power factor of the
line and the stability of the system.

Example
1. A three phase transmission line has a
horizontal configurations w/ 9ft spacing.
The diameter of the line 336.4 ACSR is
0.721 in. If the length of the line is 20 km,
what is the capacitance of the line?
2. Calculate the capacitance per kilometer per
phase of a single circuit, two bundled
conductors three-phase line horizontally with
a distance of 5m between adjacent lines. The
diameter of each conductor is 5cm and the
distance between conductors in the bundle is
30 cm

Example
A three phase, 60Hz line has flat horizontal
spacing. The conductors have an outside
diameter of 3.28cm with 12m between
conductors. If the conductors are elevated
20m from the ground, determine the
capacitance to neutral if its length is 125
miles.
