Block Coupled Lines (Three-Phase) simulates three magnetically coupled lines. Each line is characterized by inductance, series ohmic resistance, and parallel conduction. In addition, there is mutual inductance and mutual resistance between each pair of lines.
Use this unit when the magnetic coupling in a three-phase network is not negligible. These effects are most noticeable when:
The lines are parallel and located close to each other.
The intrinsic inductance of the lines is high.
The frequency of alternating current in the network is high.
An equivalent diagram shows the relationship between two arbitrary phases. and . The block simulates a magnetic coupling using the following equivalent circuit between each pair of phases , and .
In this diagram:
and — ohmic resistances of the lines and ;
and — intrinsic line inductance and ;
— magnetic resistance between two lines. This parameter can be used to account for losses in the common neutral (see below);
— mutual inductance of the lines and ;
and — line leakage conductivity and ;
and — voltage drop on the lines and ;
and — currents through resistances - and -;

Inductive coupling
To quantify the magnetic coupling between two lines, you can use the coupling coefficient or the coupling coefficient. . The coupling coefficient relates the mutual inductance to the intrinsic inductance of the line:
This coefficient should be in the range of , where a negative value indicates a change in the orientation of one of the coils. The value of the value indicates that:
— there is no magnetic connection between the two lines.
— the two lines are weakly connected and the mutual magnetic effects are small.
— the two lines are strongly connected and the mutual magnetic effects are great.
Mutual resistance
If the three lines have a common neutral, the resistance of this return path can be modeled using the parameter Mutual resistance. This approach is equivalent to installing Mutual resistance equal to zero and an explicit indication of the neutral resistance as shown in the diagram below.
If the three lines do not have a common neutral, set the parameter Mutual resistance equal to zero and explicitly add each of the neutral resistances to the model.
Variables
Use the parameter group Initial Targets to set the priority and initial target values for the block parameter variables before modeling. For more information, see Configuring physical blocks using target values.

Parameters
Main
#Parameterization —
parameterization of line impedance
Balanced impedance | General impedance | Sequence impedance
Details
Specify how to parameterize the impedance of the three lines:
Balanced impedance — The same series resistance, series inductance and parallel leakage conductivity are used for all lines.
General impedance — Series resistance, series inductance and parallel leakage conductivity are used separately for each line.
Sequence impedance — A three-phase balanced inductive and resistive resistance is used with mutual coupling between the phases. This provides a more convenient way to enter system parameters in terms of direct and zero sequence resistances and inductors than intrinsic and reciprocal resistances and inductors.
