Section II:
Shunt Parameters Of Transmission Lines
Capacitance in a transmission line results due to the potential difference between the conductors. The conductors get charged in the same way as the parallel plates of a capacitor. Capacitance between two parallel conductors depends on the size and the spacing between the conductors. Usually the capacitance is neglected for the transmission lines that are less than 50 miles (80 km) long. However the capacitance becomes significant for longer lines with higher voltage. In this section we shall derive the line capacitance of different line configuration. |
