Inductance of A Single-Phase Two Wire Line: BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus

This document discusses the inductance of a single-phase two-wire line. It defines the inductance equation based on the distance between the two conductors and their radii. It also discusses that the inductance is determined separately for the external and internal flux, and how the total inductance is calculated. It then extends the calculations to multi-conductor lines and three-phase lines, discussing the effects of symmetrical and unsymmetrical spacing on the inductances.

In the following Fig. , a single phase with two conductors of


radius r1 and r2 have been shown. One conductor is the
return circuit for the other

First , consider only the flux linkages of the circuit caused by


the current in conductor 1. The current in conductor 2 is
equal in value and opposite in direction to the current in
conductor 1
BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus
The inductance of the circuit due to current in
conductor 1 is determined by the following equation:

L12  2  107 ln(D2 D1 ) H /m


With the distance D between conductor 1 and 2
substituted for D2 and the radius r1 of conductor 1
substituted for D1.
For external flux only:

L1,ext .  2  10 ln(D r1 ) H /m
For internal flux only
L1,int .  0.5  107 H /m

The total inductance of the current due to the
current in conductor ( 1 ) equations :

L1  [(1 2)  2 ln( D r1 )] 107


= 2  107 [( 1 4 ) + ln( D r1 )]
= 2  107 [ln e 1 4 + ln( D r1 )]
= 2  107 ln( D r1 e 1 4 )
= 2  107 ln( D r1 )
=0.7411 log10 ( D r1 ) H /m

Where, r1  r1 e 1 4

The inductance due to current in conductor ( 2 ) is :
L 2  2  107 ln( D r 2)
=0.7411 log10 ( D r 2) mH / mile

The inductance for the complete circuit :


L  L1  L 2  4  107 ln( D r1 r 2 ) H /m

If r1  r 2  r 
 L  4  107 ln( D r )
=1.4822 log10 ( D r ) mH / mile

Inductance between two points external one conductor is one-half the total inductance of a
single-phase line and is called the inductance per conductor .

Inductance of 3-phase lines with
unsymmetrical spacing
In this case , the flux linkages and inductance of each phase
are not the same .
A different inductance in each phase results in an unbalance
circuit .
This case can be overcome by exchanging the positions of the
conductors at regular intervals along the line so that each
conductor occupies the original position of every other
conductor over an equal distance .
Such an exchange of conductor positions is called
"transposition".

Double Circuit Three Phase Line

It is a common practice to build double circuit lines so as


to increase transmission reliability at somewhat
enhanced cost.

Bundled conductors
• The trend toward ever higher voltages for T.L has
stimulated interest in the use of two or more
conductors per phase.

• Such a line said to be composed of " bundled "


conductors.

• Usually the spacing of conductors of a phase is
about ( 10 ) times the diameter of one conductor.

• The advantages of bundling are reduced reactance


because of increased self GMD and reduce voltage
drop.
