4.3 MEDIUM LENGTH LINES

It has been mentioned previously that transmission lines with lengths between 80 km and 160
km are categorised as medium length lines where the parameters are assumed to be lumped.
The shunt capacitance is either assumed to be concentrated at the middle of the line or half of
the total capacitance is concentrated at each end of the line. The two configurations are known
as nominal-T and nominal- respectively. The nominal circuits are shown in Figs. 4.5 (a) and
(b).

It is to be noted that the two representations are approximate to the exact representation
of the actual line. Also the two representations are not equivalent as can be seen by using the
star-delta transformations. However, they are good enough for practical purposes and do not
involve much error.

4.3.1 Nominal-6
The vector diagram for lagging power factor load is shown in Fig. 4.6. While analysing the
medium length lines using nominal-T, it is preferable to take receiving end current as the
reference vector as the calculations become relatively easier as compared to taking Vr as the
reference.
