Transient Analysis of Multiconductor Transmission Line Networks: A Comparison of Experimental and Numerical Results.
Abstract
This report computes the transient responses of some multiconductor transmissionline networks, e.g., (a) a three-wire line, (b) a T-network, and (c) an H-network. These computations, which make use of the QV7T computer code were then compared with the available experimentally measured data. Very good agreement was seen between the numerical and experimental results for both pulse and step function driving waveforms. In addition, the transient response of the power cable in the TACAMO aircraft was also computed under certain approximations. The power cable consists of seven wires for the 3-phase power system, and measurements were made earlier on this cable in the ATHAMAS I (HPD) facility at AFWL. Considering all the approximations that had to be made in the numerical computations and the difficulties encountered in the TACAMO EMP testing, the agreement between the calculated and measured responses is seen to be fair.
