Cable Model…Resistance

The resistance per unit length of a tubular
conductor is given by:
Rcond 
cond
 b 2  a 2 
The total cable resistance is thus given by:
Rcable  Rst || Rcu
Cable Model…Capacitance

The cable capacitance per unit length can
be calculated by the formula:
2
C
F /m
ln d

 
Where,
 is the permittivity of the insulator.
d is the outer radius of insulator
c is the inner radius of insulator.
Cable Model…Seawater


The current return is through the
seawater.
In near DC conditions the sea-water
resistance and inductance are calculated
as:
R = 0.098 m/km.
L = 2.221 mH/km.

These values are frequency dependent.
Cable Model…Composite model

For transient simulation, the steel
core and copper sheath can be
modeled as a composite conductor
