ABCD with shunt capacitor at line end
Short answer
By cascading line and shunt capacitor matrices: A' = A + B Y_sh = 0.9880∠0.231°, B' = B = 31.552∠71.608° Ω, C' = C + D Y_sh = 5.489×10⁻⁴∠90.04° S, D' = D = 0.9955∠0.086°.
The ABCD constants of a 3-phase overhead line are as follows: A = D = 0.9955∠0.086°, B = 31.552∠71.608° Ω, C = 3 × 10⁻⁴∠90° S. If a shunt capacitor with admittance 2.5 × 10⁻⁴∠90° S is connected at the end of the line, determine the equivalent ABCD constants of the system.
Given: , , S; shunt capacitor S at the receiving end of the line.
Method
The shunt capacitor is a two-port with constants . It is in cascade (series) after the line, so the overall matrix is the product:
VS +------------+ VR
o-----| Line |----+-----o
| A B C D | |
+------------+ [Ysh]
o-----------------------+-----o
Calculation
Check: (to 5 decimal places).
Answer: , , S, .
Note: the combined network is no longer symmetrical (). If the capacitor were at the sending end, and would swap roles: , .
