How does the design and installation of overhead lines affect their capacitance?
2025-08-13The capacitance of an overhead line is directly tied to its physical geometry. The primary factors influencing capacitance are:
-
Conductor Radius: Capacitance increases with a larger conductor radius.
-
Distance between Conductors: Capacitance decreases as the spacing between conductors increases.
-
Height from Ground: The presence of the earth as a grounded plane also influences capacitance, creating a 'conductor-to-ground' capacitance.
At Ningbo Changshi, we understand that precision in construction is paramount. Our OHTL wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment and overhead tools and accessories are designed to ensure that the specified conductor spacing and sag are achieved and maintained. By using our high-quality hydraulic OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners and pullers, engineers can install conductors with the exact geometry required by the design, which is critical for ensuring that the line's actual capacitance matches its intended design parameters.
