Analytic Solutions for Pulse Propagation in Shielded Power Cable for Symmetric and Asymmetric PD Pulses

Shielded power cable can be considered as a lossy transmission line, the high frequency attenuation of which causes the PD pulse amplitude, as well as the pulse energy, to decrease as a function of distance propagated. We develop analytical expressions which characterize PD pulse propagation in a shielded power cable for both symmetric and asymmetric PD pulse waveforms for an attenuation constant which increases linearly with frequency.
