Abstract
The use of long cables is often required in rural
electrification settings. This may introduce high losses, voltage
drop, and voltage harmonics distortion. Focusing on cable selection, this paper aims to investigate the influence of cable resistance, inductance, and capacitance on the aforementioned issues as a consideration to minimize those issues. The cable was modeled as a pi-lumped element that connects a simplified 230 V / 50 Hz source to highly nonlinear loads. The results showed that there is a trade-off between losses and voltage drop against the harmonics. Ensuring to have a lower cable inductance and capacitance is preferable to reduce losses and voltage drop as long as the voltage harmonics are within the acceptable limit.
