Description
This device is used for generating data for the Wideband Line/Cable model “WB m-phase” device. This device accepts Model data file from the Line Data and Cable Data (old) modules. After running and generating model data, the user can reopen the “WB fitter” and visualize the fitting results for the characteristic admittance Yc and the propagation function H. The data generated by this device is referenced in the Wideband Line/Cable model. The convergence tolerance is a relative tolerance; it can be modified when fitting problems are encountered. The default value is acceptable in most cases.
The fitting technique used by this device is described in [1].

Data of a 3-phase transmission line
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: New module. The lyz generated by the Line Data module is used in the Wideband Line/Cable Fitter to produce a dat file for the WB line model. The fitting results are shown in a text file.
A portion of the dat file generated with the Wideband Line/Cable Fitter is shown next.
