Estimation of PLC transmission line and crosstalk for LV outdoor electrical cables

In this study, RLCG method is used to estimate a low voltage transmission line for twisted overhead and underground low voltage distribution cables. This model is applied for cables with different types, different sections and lengths taking account the capacitive and the inductive coupling. SPICE determination of transmission characteristics and cables crosstalk are validated throughout physical measurements. Line attenuation of a proposed architecture in low voltage distribution network is also evaluated. The full system is implemented using the cable transmission line of the different branches present along the line and loads connected to the network.
