Pi Section Line

This block implements a pi section line.

The PI Section Line block implements a single-phase transmission line with parameters lumped in pi sections. For a transmission line, the resistance, inductance, and capacitance are uniformly distributed along the line.

Parameters

Number of PI sections (Nb)

The number of PI sections.

Frequency (f)

Frequency f, in hertz (Hz), at which per unit length rlc parameters are specified. 

Resistance (R)

The resistance per unit length of the line, in ohms/km (Ω/km).

Inductance (L)

The inductance per unit length of the line, in henries/km (H/km). 

Capacitance (C)

The capacitance per unit length of the line, in farads/km (F/km).

Line length (Length)

Length of the line, in km.

Frequency (f) should always remain under the maximum frequency range of Pi section line for accurate results. An approximation of the maximum frequency range represented by the PI line model is given by the following equation:
