16th IMEKO TC4 Symposium Exploring New Frontiers of Instrumentation and Methods for Electrical and Electronic Measurements

Abstract- The aim of this paper is the development of a theoretical model of medium voltage (MV) cables in the frequency range 50-200 kHz which can be easily implemented in the Simulink ® ® environment. Two transmission line configurations, line-ground and line-line were considered. The model requires the knowledge of the transmission channel parameters in the frequency domain. Thus, a characterization of MV cables in the two transmission line configurations by means of experimental measurements was performed on commonly used MV cables, RG7H1R, of different sections, 95 mm2 and 185 mm2 with aluminium core and copper shielded. To validate the model a comparison between the attenuation constant a measured and the one simulated for both the configurations under study was carried out. I
