EXPERIMENT No – 1

OBJECTIVE: Calculate the parameters of single-phase transmission line.

SOFTWARE: MATLAB 7.0 or Above.

THEORY:

Transmission line has four parameters namely resistance, inductance, capacitance and
conductance. The inductance and capacitance are due to the effect of magnetic and
electric fields around the conductor. The resistance of the conductor is best determined
from the manufactures data or can be calculated by formula. The inductances and
capacitances can be evaluated using the formula.

FORMULAS:
DC Resistance of conductor

ρl
R=
A

where R is the resistance of the transmission line,  ρ is the resistivity of the wire in Ω -
m, l is the length in meter and A is the cross sectional area in m2

Inductance

The general formula

L = 4*10-7 * ln (Dm/ Ds) H/m

where,
Dm = geometric mean distance (GMD)
Ds = geometric mean radius (GMR)
For single phase two wire system
GMD = D
GMR = re-1/4 = r′
where, r = radius of conductor

Capacitance
A general formula for evaluating capacitance per phase in micro farad per km of a
transmission line is given by

C = 0.0556/ ln (GMD/GMR) μF/km

D=input ('enter the distance between conductors in cm :');

d=input ('Enter the value of d :');

r=d/2;

Ds=.7788*r;

Y=log (D/Ds);

inductance 0.2*Y:

capacitance=0.0556/(log (D/r));

fprintf("\n The inductance per phase per km is %f mH/ph/km\n',inductance);

fprintf("\n The capacitance per phase per km is %f m/ph/km\n', capacitance);

Output: -

Enter the distance between conductor in cm :12

Enter the value of d: 2

The inductance per phase per km is:0.171227 mH/ph./km

The capacitance per phase per km is:0.91729 mH/ph/km

PRECAUTIONS:

1. Write the program in .m file.

2. First line write “Clear all” command in all program.
3. You can insert comment lines. Anytime line starts with an “%”, MATLAB ignores the
whole line.
4. You can use upper or lower case letters in MATLAB programming
5. Don’t use space in file name. Write running text and save it.
