Cable Model…inductance • flux linkages theory a) the core b) the sheath. c) the insulation.
Cable Model…inductance • Cable Inductance Where: = Total flux associated with the cable. = Total cable current.
Cable Model…Resistance • The resistance per unit length of a tubular conductor is given by: The total cable resistance is thus given by:
Cable Model…Capacitance • The cable capacitance per unit length can be calculated by the formula: Where, is the permittivity of the insulator. d is the outer radius of insulator c is the inner radius of insulator.
Cable Model…Seawater • The current return is through the seawater. • In near DC conditions the sea-water resistance and inductance are calculated as: R = 0.098 m/km. L = 2.221 mH/km. • These values are frequency dependent.
Cable Model…Composite model • For transient simulation, the steel core and copper sheath can be modeled as a composite conductor comp = 5.1753*10-8 m. comp = 9.0788
