Description
Block Three-Phase PI Section Line It is a balanced three-phase power transmission line according to a U-shaped substitution scheme.
Unlike the linear model with distributed parameters, in which resistance, inductance, and capacitance are evenly distributed along the line, the block Three-Phase PI Section Line combines the line parameters into one U-shaped section, as shown in the figure below.

Line Parameters , and They are set as parameters of the forward and zero sequence, which take into account the inductive and capacitive connections between three-phase conductors, as well as the grounding parameters. This method of setting line parameters assumes that the three phases are balanced.
Own and mutual resistance ( , ), self and mutual inductors ( , ) three connected inductors, as well as phase capacitances and grounding capacitances They are derived from the RLC parameters of the direct and null sequence as follows.
As an example, let’s take the following line parameters:
, |
Resistances of the forward and zero sequences per unit length |
, |
Inductance of direct and zero sequences per unit length |
, |
Capacities of the forward and zero sequences per unit length |
|
Frequency |
|
Length of the line section |
The general parameters are evaluated first direct and null sequences, including hyperbolic corrections:
where , , , , , — hyperbolic correction factors of the forward and zero sequence.
For a short section of the line (approximately km) these correction factors are insignificant (close to unity). However, for long lines, these hyperbolic corrections must be taken into account in order to obtain an accurate model of the line with the specified frequency.
Then the RLC parameters of the line section are calculated as follows:
