➢Where Dm is the distance between conductors, Both Dm and Ds must be in the same units, usually
either meters or feet.
➢The GMR found in tables is an equivalent Ds, which accounts for skin effect where it is appreciable
enough to affect inductance.
➢Values of Ds listed in Table A3 at 60 Hz. Some tables give values of inductive reactance in addition to
GMR. One method is to expand the logarithmic term of Eq.(4.46), as follows
The Use of the Table:
➢The first term in equation (4.47) is called the inductive reactance at 1-ft
spacing Xa. It depends on the GMR of the conductor and the frequency.
➢The second term of the equation (4.47) is called the inductive reactance
spacing factor Xd.
➢This second term is independent of the type of conductor and depends
on frequency and spacing only Table A-3 includes values of inductive
reactance at 1-ft spacing
➢Table A-4 lists values of the inductive reactance spacing factor
Solution:
