Overhead Line Electrical Characteristics

AAC 477 MCM, 19 strand (Cosmos)


0.1913 ohms/mile DC resistance
0.1968 ohms/mile AC @ 25C
0.2159 ohms/mile AC @ 50C
0.2352 ohms/mile AC @ 75C
GMR 0.00250 ft
Xa=0.448 ohms/mile inductive @ 1 ft spacing
Xd =0.2794(f/60)log(GMD) ohm/mile = 0.2794*log(1.26*4.5) = 0.2106 ohms/mile
XL = 3*(0.448 + 0.2106) = 1.976 ohms/mile = X1 = X2 (positive & negative sequences identical)
X0:
Re = 0.2858 ohms/mile
Xe = 0.4191log(77760rhoe) ohms/mile
Rhoe is about 5,000 (Earth resistance/meter)
Xe = 3.6000
Z0 = Rcdr + Re + j(Xe + Xa 2Xd) ohms/mile
=0.2159 + 0.2858 + j(3.6000 + 0.448 2*0.2106) = 0.5017 +j2.7308 (but ignores neutrals!)
Xa=0.1012 megaohms-mile capacitive @ 1 ft spacing
Xd=0.0683log(GMD) = 0.0515
Xc=Xa + Xd = 0.1527
Xc1 = Xc2 = 0.1527
h=height above ground
Xce = 0.205log(2h) = 0.3923 ohms
Xc0 = Xa+Xce-2Xd = 0.3905 megaohm-miles
639 Ampacity

4/0 ACSR (Penguin)


0.4199 ohms/mile DC resistance
0.4288 ohms/mile AC @ 25C
0.5510 ohms/mile AC @ 50C
0.5999 ohms/mile AC @ 75C
GMR ?? 0.01672? 0.0158?
0.5468 ohms/mile inductive @ 1 ft spacing
0.1113 megaohms-mile capacitive @ 1 ft spacing
366 Ampacity
