Electrical Parameters
Calculation of electrical parameters
The Electrical parameters of CP lines can be calculated by using the Line Generator .
Propagation Delay
The propagation delay is calculated as follows:
Mathblock | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
Propagation\_delay = length\_of\_line * \sqrt {L[i] * C[i] } |
Where i is for each of the phases, L and C stands for the inductance and capacitance of the line per unit length.

When the propagation delay is smaller than the time step in a transposed line, the Constant Param block is automatically replaced by an equivalent PI Line. |
For any case, when a CP line is used the simulation time step should be larger than the propagation time of the line. When the propagation delay is smaller than the simulation time a message will appear in the console, here is an example:
If the line is transposed:
WARNING in line: <Name of Block>.
The propagation delay (X) is less than the sample time (Y). A PI line is automatically used.
WARNING in the model [<Name of Block>:]! The line type has changed and the results may be false. Please restart the simulation.
These messages indicate that the line model is automatically changed to a PI model. Since the model is changed, the user needs to restart the simulation (re-analyze and re-generate code).
If the line is untransposed:
WARNING in line: <Name of Block>.
The propagation delay (X) is less than the sample time (Y). A PI line is automatically used.
ERROR in line: <Name of Block>.
The propagation delay is less than sample time and the line is Untransposed.
A PI line cannot be automatically used. Use a PI line with matrix parameters.
These messages indicate that the model cannot be automatically changed because the line is untransposed. This happens because there are three distinct modes and the PI model only supports two. Thus, if the user wants to simulate a very short untransposed line, the user needs to use a PI line with the matrix parameters.
