Cross-bonded cables and analysis of non-linearities

Abstract

The present work investigates the problem of determining transient overvoltages in cross-bonded cable systems, the efficiency of computation by determining short-cut methods and by organising the inverse Fourier transform in a more efficient manner. It also investigates the effect of assuming zero earthing resistances at the major bonding points wherein the analysis is simplified considerably. It improves This work also presents the difficulties encountered in representing non-linear voltage limiting devices when Fourier analysis is used and investigates an alternative method of analysis involving Duhamel's integral.
