Area of X-Section (DC Two-Wire US) Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Area of underground dc wire = 2*(Power Transmitted^2)*Resistivity*Length of Wire DC/(Line Losses*(Maximum Voltage^2))
A = 2*(P^2)*ρ*l/(P_line*(V_m^2))
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Area of underground dc wire - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Area of underground dc wire is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by an object.
Power Transmitted - (Measured in Watt) - Power Transmitted is the amount of power that is transferred from its place of generation to a location where it is applied to perform useful work.
Resistivity - (Measured in Ohm Meter) - Resistivity is the measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of current through them.
Length of Wire DC - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Wire DC is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Line Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Line Losses is defined as the losses that are produced in the line.
Maximum Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Maximum Voltage the highest voltage rating for electrical devices.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Power Transmitted: 300 Watt --> 300 Watt No Conversion Required
Resistivity: 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter --> 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Wire DC: 3.2 Meter --> 3.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Line Losses: 0.6 Watt --> 0.6 Watt No Conversion Required
Maximum Voltage: 60 Volt --> 60 Volt No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A = 2*(P^2)*ρ*l/(P_line*(V_m^2)) --> 2*(300^2)*1.7E-05*3.2/(0.6*(60^2))

Evaluating ... ...

A = 0.00453333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00453333333333333 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.00453333333333333 ≈ 0.004533 Square Meter <-- Area of underground dc wire
