Magnetic field around the screened three-phase high-current busducts

Abstract

This paper presents an analytical method for determining the magnetic field in the three–phase gas–insulated transmission line (i.e., high-current busduct) of circular cross–section geometry. The mathematical model takes into account the skin effect and the proximity effects, as well as the complete electromagnetic coupling between phase conductors and enclosures (i.e., screens). Apart from analytical calculation, computer simulations for high-current busduct system magnetic field were also performed with the aid of the commercial FEMM software, using two–dimensional finite elements.
