Description

This device is used for modeling transmission lines or cables. It is the most sophisticated line and cable modeling technique available. It represents the complete frequency dependence of parameters and constitutes a wideband model.  There is only a multiphase version of this device. 

The user must enter the Number of conductors and select the model data file. The model data file format must be the one given in the “Wideband Line/Cable Fitter” device. The drawing of this device is continuously updated according to the selected number of conductors.  More theoretical and model implementation details can be found in [1].

Data of a 3-phase WB Line Model

The following figure shows the geometrical data of a 735-kV transmission line as an example to simulate a 3-phase WB model.

The calculation of the electrical parameters can be done with the Line Data auxiliary moduleThe lyz file is used in the Wideband Line/Cable Fitter module to produce a dat file for the WB line model. A portion of the dat file generated with the Wideband Line/Cable Fitter is shown next.
