AC Reactance: Multicore Cables

This document provides tables of typical AC reactance values in ohms per kilometer (Ω/km) for various sizes of copper and aluminum multicore and single core cables operating at 50Hz. The tables give reactance values for different cable insulation types, including PVC, XLPE and EPR, and cable conductor configurations including circular, shaped, flat and trefoil layouts. AC reactance depends on cable size, material, insulation and geometry.
