Outline • Introduction • Measurements • Comparison with models • Discussion and conclusion
Motivation for measurements • Relay testing • Transient based fault location • Insulation coordination • Power line carrier
Decouple 3-phase line 3-phase line has one ground mode and two aerial modes. Focus on ground mode.

What to expect? Quick and dirty, use handbook TEFYMA Approximate inductance with two lines. Return line is the mirror image. Distance between wire and mirror image is 2 m. Resistance from DC-measurement.

Transmission line with load Line model
Frequency dependent parameters • Fixed parameters works well with metallic return, but fails when ground is used as the current’s return path. • Carson (1926) used Maxwell’s equation to make a line model where the effect of ground losses and current distribution are embedded in frequency dependent line parameters R and L.
Discussion • Model with lumped inductance and resistance is only valid at • Transmission line model with fixed parameters is insufficient. Results in poor model and inefficient simulation • Carson’s model is reasonable up to 100 kHz.
Relevance for typical transmission line? Height=15 m, area=500mm2, length=300 km, R_flt=5 ohm
Conclusion • Theory and measurements are needed to verify and develop models. • Measurement shows un-modeled dynamics. • Further work • High frequency modeling of line • Include dynamics of connection between line and ground, e.g, ground rod or fault • Bounded line length
