In this paper the characteristics of multi-conductor transmission
lines have been investigated for a variety of termination conditions
by using the differential equations and matrix methods.
Equations showing the characteristics of traveling waves along loss-less
multi-conductor systems are derived.
Line parameters were evaluated by experiments and by calculations.

The utilization of extra-high-voltage underground power cables
over distances greater than 100 miles presents serious problems relative
to the voltage and current limits of such cables. These problems
are directly associated with the fixed amount of capacitance inherent
in long cable lines. As a result, large charging currents are
characteristic...
A method of locating electric transmission line towers using
ground survey data in a digital computer program is presented in this
thesis. The towers are located for maximum spacing subject to the
constraints of available tower heights, forbidden ground areas, minimum
ground clearance, and specified conductor tensions. The digital
method...
