1.0 Introduction
We have now the ability to compute
inductive
reactance
and
capacitive
susceptance of a transmission line given its
geometry. To remind you, the most general
form of the relevant expressions are:
Inductance (h/m):

Examples:
Waxwing has Al./St. of 18/1 indicating
has 18 strands of aluminum around
strand of steel.
Partridge has Al./St. of 26/7 indicating
has 26 strands of aluminum around
strands of steel.

the conductor length (m), and A is conductor
cross-sectional area (m2).
