Line Shunts Information

The Line Shunts Information dialog is used to modify the parameters of transmission line shunts. The modeling of the line shunts is explained below.

 

Line Shunts

Line shunts are included in the model as admittance-to-ground values at either the From end or the To end of a transmission line. These values can represent many things, such as shunt-to-ground capacitors, reactors, zigzag (or grounding) transformers, or equivalenced system values. Line shunt values are entered in per unit, with a positive B corresponding to capacitors and a negative B corresponding to reactors. Mathematically, the line shunts are included in the algorithm in the same manner that line charging capacitance is included using the Pi model.

Line shunt values can be modified from the Branch Options dialog or Branch Information Dialog.
