How Loaded are HV Cables?

03/15/2010 3:33 PM

Hello, I was looking at CR4 forum: could you help me with this electrical question please:

On a HV network if I have a cable for which I know the sending and recieving MW/MVA and MVAr (say between two buses), how can I describe/define how 'loaded' the cable is if I compare it to a parallel cable that has slightly different values?

Cheers.

Noel.

Dear Guest,

Your question is not cear. What do you mean by " PARALLEL CABLE THAT HAS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT VALUES." What do you mean by DIFFERENT VALUES.

Please clarify. I presume, that internal resistance of the cable(s) is/are varying and has considerable difference. Under these conditions, voltage drop being common for all the cables, the current flow will be decided by the voltage drop.

I am not sure whether you understand this.

Thanks for your response.

I was just trying to understand what characteristics made a cable 'loaded' in terms of its abilty to transfer power ie what's the difference between a lightly loaded cable and a heavily loaded cable.

I understand your response. Thanks again.
