V3=b.V1
Numerical Example
• Surge impedances of OH line ZA = 350 Ohm;
cable: ZB = 50 Ohm;
• The incident step wave magnitude: 300 kV;
Compute reflected and refracted voltage and
current wave magnitudes
Solution
Note: The voltage penetrating into the cable is only 75 kV; cable some times
used to protect equipment – just insert a section of cable between OH line and
terminal equipment
Energy Conservation
• Energy is conserved at the junction by
initiation of secondary waves
• Energy input to the line
