Capacitance of double circuit line, 9 mm radius
Short answer
For the double-circuit line, mutual GMD Dm = 5.2292 m, self GMD Ds = 0.22467 m. Per-phase capacitance to neutral = (2πε0)/ln(Dm/Ds) = 17.68 pF/m = 17.68 nF/km.
Compute the capacitance per phase per unit length for the 3-phase parallel lines shown in the figure below. Effective radius of each conductor is 9 mm. [Figure: vertical double-circuit arrangement; left column top to bottom a, b, c and right column a', b', c'; vertical spacing 3.05 m between rows; horizontal distances a–a' = 5.25 m, b–b' = 6.40 m, c–c' = 5.25 m.]
The line is transposed, so each phase pair (a, a'), (b, b'), (c, c') is treated as a two-conductor group. with using the actual radius.
a o------ 5.25 m ------o a' --
3.05 m
b o------- 6.40 m -------o b' --
3.05 m
c o------ 5.25 m ------o c' --
Data: m. Horizontal offset of b from a m.
