 INTRODUCTION
In the evaluation of inductance, solid round conductors were considered.
However, in practical transmission lines, stranded conductors are used. Also, for
reasons of economy, most EHV lines are constructed with bundled conductors.
In this section an expression is found for the inductance of composite
conductors. The result can be used for evaluating the GMR of stranded or
bundled conductors. It is also useful in finding the equivalent GMR and GMD of
parallel circuits. Consider a single phase line consisting of two composite
conductors (x) and (y) as shown in Figure 4.10.
The current in (x) is (I) reference into the page, and the return current in (y) is (-I). Conductor (x) consists
of N identical strands or semiconductors, each with radius (rX). Conductor (y) consists of M identical
strands or semiconductors, each with radius (rY). The current is assumed to be equally divided among
the semiconductors. The current per strand is (I/N) in x and (I/M) in Y. The application of (4.29) will result
in the following expression for the total flux linkage of conductor (a).
Using (4.29), the inductance of other subconductors in (x) are similarly obtained. For example, the
inductance of the subconductors n is.
The average inductance of any one subconductor in group x is

Since all the subconductors of conductor x are electrically parallel, the inductance of x will

Substituting the values of la, lb,lc...,ln in (4.47) results in

 GMD is the mnthe root of the mnthe distances between n strands of
conductor x m strands. GMRx is the n^2 root of the product of n^2
terms consisting of r of every strand times the distance from each
strand to all other strands within group x.
The inductance of conductor y can also be similarly obtained. The
geometric mean radius GMRy will be different. The geometric mean
distance GMD, however, is the same.
