Cable Model…Resistance
The resistance per unit length of a tubular
conductor is given by:
Rcond
cond
b 2 a 2
The total cable resistance is thus given by:
Rcable Rst || Rcu
Cable Model…Capacitance
The cable capacitance per unit length can
be calculated by the formula:

F /m
ln d
c
Where,
is the permittivity of the insulator.
d is the outer radius of insulator
c is the inner radius of insulator.
Cable Model…Seawater
The current return is through the
seawater.
In near DC conditions the sea-water
resistance and inductance are calculated
as:
R = 0.098 m/km.
L = 2.221 mH/km.
These values are frequency dependent.
Cable Model…Composite model
For transient simulation, the steel
core and copper sheath can be
modeled as a composite conductor
comp = 5.1753*10-8 m.
comp = 9.0788
