Estimation of capacitive current
The capacitive current is mainly determined by the length of the feeder, the cross-sectional area of the conductor, the dielectric constant, the height above the ground, and the rated voltage. The specific estimation methods are as follows:Estimation of capacitive current of overhead lines: For overhead lines of 3 - 35 kV, the capacitance per phase to ground is usually 5000 - 6000 pF/km. Based on this, the value of the single-phase grounding capacitive current per kilometer for lines of differen
