Line Capacitance

Calculates per-phase overhead line capacitance from conductor radius and geometric mean phase spacing. The reduced transposed-line method also estimates three-phase charging Mvar per 100 km and surge impedance from an explicit inductance input.

with-tool: The model is given an executable Python calculator script.
