1. What is Receiving End Current?

The Receiving End Current is defined as the magnitude and phase angle of current received at the load end of a long transmission line. It is a critical parameter in power system analysis and transmission line design.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ I_r = \frac{I_s - \left( V_r \cdot \frac{\sinh(\gamma \cdot L)}{Z_0} \right)}{\cosh(\gamma \cdot L)} \]

Where:

\( I_r \) — Receiving End Current (Ampere)
\( I_s \) — Sending End Current (Ampere)
\( V_r \) — Receiving End Voltage (Volt)
\( \gamma \) — Propagation Constant
\( L \) — Length of transmission line (Meter)
\( Z_0 \) — Characteristic Impedance (Ohm)

Explanation: This formula calculates the current at the receiving end of a long transmission line using hyperbolic functions to account for distributed parameters.

3. Importance of Receiving End Current Calculation

Details: Accurate calculation of receiving end current is crucial for power system stability analysis, load flow studies, transmission line protection, and ensuring efficient power delivery to consumers.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all values in appropriate units. Sending end current and receiving end voltage must be positive values. Propagation constant, length, and characteristic impedance must be greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between short and long transmission lines?
A: Long transmission lines require distributed parameter analysis using hyperbolic functions, while short lines can be analyzed using simpler lumped parameter models.

Q2: Why are hyperbolic functions used in this calculation?
A: Hyperbolic functions (sinh and cosh) accurately model the distributed nature of parameters in long transmission lines, accounting for both series and shunt impedances.

Q3: What factors affect the propagation constant?
A: The propagation constant depends on the line's series resistance, series inductance, shunt conductance, and shunt capacitance per unit length.

Q4: How does characteristic impedance affect current calculation?
A: Characteristic impedance represents the ratio of voltage to current for a wave propagating along the line and affects how current and voltage are distributed along the transmission line.

Q5: When is this calculation most important?
A: This calculation is particularly important for long-distance high-voltage transmission lines where distributed parameter effects are significant and cannot be neglected.
