Capacitance of line on 5-6-7 m triangle
Short answer
Compute equivalent spacing D_eq = (5×6×7)^(1/3) = 5.944 m, then C_n = 2πε₀ / ln(D_eq/r) with r = 0.01 m. C_n = 8.709 nF/km.
Find the capacitance of phase to neutral per kilometre of a three phase line having conductors of 2 cm diameter placed at the corners of a triangle with sides 5 m, 6 m, 7 m respectively. Assume that the line is fully transposed and carries balanced load.
For a fully transposed three-phase line with unsymmetrical spacing, the capacitance per phase to neutral is
Data: diameter 2 cm, so cm m; sides 5 m, 6 m, 7 m; F/m.
