electricpy.fault.residcomp(z1, z0, linelength=1)[source]

Residual Compensation Factor Function.

Evaluates the residual compensation factor based on the line’s positive and zero sequence impedance characteristics.

Parameters:

  • z1 (complex) – The positive-sequence impedance characteristic of the line, specified in ohms-per-unit where the total line length (of same unit) is specified in linelength argument.

  • z0 (complex) – The zero-sequence impedance characteristic of the line, specified in ohms-per-unit where the total line length (of same unit) is specified in linelength argument.

  • linelength (float, optional) – The length (in same base unit as impedance characteristics) of the line. default=1

Returns:

k0 – The residual compensation factor.

Return type:

complex
