The voltammetry characteristic can be written as fol-

So when we measure the zero sequence self imped-
ance of the line I, the zero sequence current of line II
which influences the zero sequence voltage of line I
should be taken into account. The traditional method
ignores the influence of line II, so there are theoretical
mistakes in (9) .

In fact, it indicates that when the current of line I
reaches 100 A and the current of line II reaches 47 A,
can’t be ignored. So the error of zero sequence
self impedance measured by traditional method is great.
In this measurement, the error has reached above 30%.
Measure the zero sequence voltages and zero sequence
currents of all transmission lines, then calculate (1) and
obtain zero sequence self impedance and zero sequence
mutual impedance. The live line measurement method
not only has high precision, but also is accurate and reli-
able. The measurement results of zero sequence parame-
ters are shown in table III, it shows that the average
measurement error of zero sequence mutual impedance is
about 5.5% and zero sequence self impedance is about
2%.
It shows that there are still certain difference between
theoretical values and measurement values. It is well
known that the computation formulate for zero sequence
parameters are derived from Carson formula. The tradi-
tional method needs the resistance of earth, the equiva-
lent depth of wires, the length of lines and the arrange-
ment of wires. But it is difficult to get the resistance of
earth and the equivalent depth of wires. So the theoreti-
cal values are only used as reference, they cannot be used
as accurate parameters.
In the case of disturbing, in order to obtain the accu-
rate parameters of zero sequence self impedance, the
zero sequence self impedance and the zero sequence
mutual impedance should be measured at the same time.
7. Conclusion
The field l ive l ine mea suri ng r esult s ha ve pr ove n tha t th e
live line measurement method is correct and the mea-
surement system can meet the requirement of measure-
ment. In addition, in order to eliminate the interference
of lines, using the live line measurement method to cal-
culate the zero sequence self impedance parameters and
the zero sequence mutual impedance parameters simul-
taneously can improve the accuracy of the measurement
results.
