Fundamental optimization study for open-wire transmission systems

OSTI ID:6464713

The physical factors that control the loading capability of open wire transmission systems have been examined. Surge impedance loading (SIL) capability was used as the criterion for optimization. The SIL of various arrays was calculated and optimized. Some guidelines for the optimization of SIL were developed as a function of the amount of conductor material and available space. The major variables studied were as follows: the relationship between SIL, power density, and electric field gradient; the effect of bundling; the effect of conductor location within the available space; and the effect of the magnitude and phase relationship of the energizing vectors.
