Capacitance of Cables

Published Dec 7, 2019
Capacitance is the ability of cable to store electrical charge. It is defined as ration of
electrical charge (Q) to electrical potential (V).
Q=C/V Col/Volt
In LV, MV and HV Cables may be single core with earthed metallic layer around the
core or 3 cores with earth metallic screened around each core. In both cases electrostatic
field is contained within the earth screened and is substantially radial.
The capacitance of single core cable is
C= Ɛ𝑟/18 log (D/d) μF/Km
D= Diameter over Insulation (mm)

Ɛo= Relative permittivity of dielectical material
Ɛr =4.8 for PVC
Ɛr= 2.3 for XLPE
Ɛr= 3.2 for Butyl rubber
Ɛr= 4 for Silicone rubber
Ɛr= 4.5 for XLPE-Filled
The relative permittivity depends on temperature and frequency. It describes the
characteristics of insulation material. This is also used for calculating low voltage cables
capacitance without any metallic layer.
Hence capacitance depends upon the spacing between conductors. Power losses in
cables can be achieve by compacting the conductor. Moreover mutual capacitance is
also reduced by compacting the conductor.
