COMPOSITE CONDUCTOR LINES Composite conductor is composed of two or more elements or strands electrically in parallel. The expression derived for the inductance of composite conductors can be used for the stranded and bundled conductors and also for finding GMD and GMR of parallel transmission lines. Fig 1.4 shows a single phase line with two composite conductors.

GMRx = [(Daa Dab … D an) …… (Dna Dnb….. D nn)] n2

(1.10)

r’a = ra.e-1/4 The distance between elements are represented by D with respective subscripts and r’ a , and r’b and r’ n have been replaced by Daa, Dbb …… and D nn respectively for symmetry. STRANDED CONDUCTORS The GMR for the stranded conductors are generally calculated using equation (1.10). For the purpose of GMD calculation, the stranded conductors can be treated as solid conductor and the distance between any two conductors can be taken as equal to as center-tocenter distance between the stranded conductors as shown in Fig 1.5, since the distance between the conductors is high compared to the distance between the elements in a stranded conductor. This method is sufficiently accurate.

The GMR of a bundle conductor is normally calculated using (1.10). GMR for two sub conductor Dsb = [Ds x d] 1/2

(1.11)

GMR for three sub conductor Dsb = (Ds x d2)1/3

(1.12)

GMR for four sub conductor Dsb = 1.09 (Ds x d3)1/4

(1.13)

Where Ds is the GMR of each sub conductor and d is the bundle spacing For the purpose of GMD calculation, the bundled conductor can be treated as a solid conductor and the distance between any two conductors can be taken as equal to center tocenter distance between the bundled conductors as shown in Fig 1.7, since the distance between the conductors is high compared to bundle spacing.

GMD is the “Geometric Mean Distance” which is the same as that defined for inductance under various cases.

GMR IS THE GEOMETRIC MEAN RADIUS AND IS DEFINED CASE BY CASE BELOW 1. Single phase two wires system (for diagram see inductance): GMD = D GMR = r (as against r’ in the case of L) 2. Three phase - symmetrical spacing (for diagram see inductance): GMD = D GMR = r in the case of solid conductor = Ds in the case of stranded conductor to be obtained from manufacturer’s data. 3. Three-phase – Asymmetrical - transposed (for diagram see Inductance): GMD = [DAB DBC DCA] 1/3

GMR = r ; for solid conductor GMR = Ds for stranded conductor = rb for bundled conductor where rb = [r*d] 1/2 for 2 conductor bundle rb = [r*d2] 1/3 for 3 conductor bundle (1.20) rb = 1.09 [r*d3] 1/4 for 4 conductor bundle where r = radius of each sub conductor d = bundle spacing

PROCEDURE: 1. Enter the command window of the MATLAB. 2. Create a new M – file by selecting File - New – M – File 3. Type and save the program in the editor window. 4. Execute the program by either pressing Tools – Run. 5. View the results.

EXERCISES 1)

A 50-Hz 3-phase line (transposed) composed of one ACSR moose conductor (overall Dia. = 31.8mm) per phase has flat horizontal spacing of 10m between adjacent conductors. Compare the inductive and capacitive reactance in ohms per phase of this line with that of a line (transposed) using a three-conductor bundle of ASCR lynx conductor (each having overall Dia. = 19.6mm) having 10m spacing measured from the centre of the bundles. The bundle conductors in each phase are arranged in an equilateral triangle formation with spacing between conductors in the bundle as 40m.

2)
