Notes 2 - Power Systems Analysis 1

The document discusses various topics related to transmission lines including constants of transmission lines such as resistance, inductance, and capacitance. It discusses inductance in 3-phase overhead lines and how inductance varies with conductor spacing and phase arrangement. It also discusses capacitance in transmission lines and how it is affected by conductor geometry and spacing. The document then covers short, medium, and long transmission lines and their distinguishing characteristics. It presents the nominal pi and T models for transmission lines. It provides an example problem calculating line parameters for a 500km 400kV transmission line. Finally, it outlines an assignment on topics like Ferranti effect, transmission line transposition, surge impedance, transmission line models, and calculating voltages and losses for a
