Description

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.

To simulate the capacitive coupling between the lines, use the block Transmission Line (Three-Phase).

The equivalent scheme

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 .

  • — 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 .

The equations

The defining equation for this block is:

, and As a rule, they are not equal to the currents in the lines , and . The currents of the lines make up the following vector:

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. Value indicates:

  • — 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 Mutual resistance parameter. . This approach is equivalent to setting Mutual resistance to zero and explicitly specifying neutral resistance. as shown in the diagram below.

coupled lines mutual resistance

If the three lines do not have a common neutral, set the Mutual resistance parameter to zero and explicitly add each of the neutral resistances to the model.

Parameters

Main

Parameterization — parameterization of the impedance of the pass line:q[<br>] Balanced impedance (by default) | General impedance | Sequence impedance

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.
