Mutual GMD – Power Transmission Lines

Mutual GMD an abbreviation for mutual geometrical mean distance is the geometrical mean of the distances form one conductor to the other. As evident there must be between the largest and smallest such distance. Mutual-GMD simply indicates the equivalent geometrical spacing. There are three important causes of interests in reference to mutual GMD that are … Read more

Self-GMD – Ds – Electrical Power Transmission Lines

transmission-lines

Self-geometrical mean distance abbreviated as self-GMD plays vital role in simplifying the inductance calculations in the case of multiconductor arrangements in transmission lines. Symbol D with subscript s is used to denote self-GMD (Ds). The mathematical equation for inductance per conductor per metre is: Inductance per conductor per meter = 2 * 10-7 * (1/4) … Read more

Basics of Synchronous condenser

A synchronous condenser is an over-excited synchronous motor that is running on no load condition. A synchronous motor takes a leading current when run over-excited and, as a result behaves as a capacitor. When such a motor is connected in parallel with the power supply, it takes a leading current which partly neutralizes the lagging … Read more
