Hi all,
I have a question regarding voltage drop across a feeder circuit consisting of multiple parallel conductors per phase in a 3 phase system (arrayed out like in the attached file). I am trying to get an understanding of how to calculate voltage drop of the system and need some assistance.I usually assume that the current in each phase is equal and divide the current equally for each cable in a given phase. Then, I use the voltage drop steps in the following link:https://www.okonite.com/media/catalog/product/files/EHB_2018.pdf (Section 3: Voltage Drop)But that I have a feeling that this doesn't really give the whole picture as there is mutual reactance of other cables not included in the voltage drop equation from okonite.I was wondering if anybody here can either provide a better model or point me to books/articles that can help me out?
Thanks!
