Parameters of Transmission Lines
There are four main parameters of transmission lines –
- Resistance (R) : It is the ability to oppose the flow of electric current in the electric circuit. It is measured in ohms [Tex]\omega[/Tex]. Resistance also helps in power loss in the transmission line.
- Inductance(L) : It is called as the introduction of current in a coil caused by the interference of the flux of the same coil or one near it. It is of two types – mutual inductance and self inductance. It is measured in Henry (H).
- Capacitance(I) : It is the power of the circuit to store energy in the form of an electrical charge. Basically we can call them as energy storing devices which is available in many shapes and sizes.
- Shunt Conductance(G) : Shunt conductance is caused due to leakage currents flowing across insulators and air. It is measured in siemens(S) per unit length. Most of the time in overhead transmission line it is neglected as it is very low. But in underground transmission line it is measured.
