Line Impedance of Power Cables and Transmission Lines

Line parameters, such as positive sequence impedance, zero sequence impedance or k-factor also called ground impedance matching factor, residual compensation factor or earthing factor, are important parameters of a line. These are required, for example, for the proper setting of a distance protection relay or fault location. Since the calculations of these values often show very large errors in the two-digit percentage range, measurement is a quick and cost-effective alternative.

OMICRON’s CPC 100 + CP CU1 measuring system makes it possible to measure line impedance quickly and completely, so as to determine these values in less than 30 minutes.
