Multiconductor Analysis: Part I A Study of the Characteristics of EHV Bundled Conductor Transmission Lines

A general method, namely, multiconductor analysis, for studying the steady-state voltages and currents of the subconductors at any point along a transmission line is developed. The major advantage of this method lies in its capacity to take into account the distributed parameters and geometrical asymmetry of the line and any additional components. Its application is possible irrespective of the number of subconductors per phase, of the number of phases, and also of the number and type of the faults which occur in the transmission lines.
