This component may be used to model either a single, or a three-phase p-section transmission line model.
A p-section is primarily used to represent a very short overhead transmission line or underground cable. Although a p-section representation will provide the correct fundamental frequency impedance, it will not accurately model properties at other frequencies. In other words, p-sections provide a simplified means to represent transmission systems for steady-state studies (such as a load flow), but do not provide an accurate, full-frequency transient response.
A p-section is formed by using lumped R, L and C elements, based on information entered by the user. The R and L elements are represented in matrix format and thereby provide coupling between the three phases. There is also both a mutual capacitance C and a capacitance to ground Cm at each end:
