In the medium and long transmission lines inductance (reactance) is more effective than resistance. The
current flow in the transmission line interacts with the other parameter, i.e the Inductance. We know that
when current flow within a conductor, magnetic flux is set up.
With the variation of current in the conductor, the number of lines of flux also changes, and an emf is induced
in it (Faraday’s Law). This induced emf is represented by the parameter known as inductance.
The flux linking with the conductor consist of two parts, namely, the internal flux and the external flux. The
internal flux is induced due to the current flow in the conductor. The external flux produced around the
conductor is due to its own current and the current of the other conductors place around it. The total
inductance of the conductor is determined by the calculation of the internal and external flux.

Inductance of balanced three-phase line.

In balanced three-stage line, all the conductors are put at the sides of the symmetrical triangle. Such a course of
action of conductors is additionally alluded to as symmetrical separating.

Inductance of unbalanced three-phase line.

A three-stage line is supposed to be unbalanced when its conductors are arranged at various separations. Such game
plan of conductors is generally regular practically speaking as a result of their affordability and comfort in structure
and development. Consider a three-stage unsymmetrical line, having distinctive separating between their conductors
where the range of every conductor is r.
