Area of X-Section using Line Losses(DC 3-Wire) Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Area of Overhead DC Wire = ((Current Overhead DC^2)*Resistivity)*Length of Wire DC/Line Losses
A = ((I^2)*ρ)*L/P_loss
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Area of Overhead DC Wire - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Overhead DC Wire is defined as the cross-sectional area of the wire of an overhead DC supply system.
Current Overhead DC - (Measured in Ampere) - Current Overhead DC is defined as the current flowing through the overhead ac supply wire.
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 total length of the wire from one end to other end.
Line Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Line Losses is defined as the total losses occurring in an Overhead DC line when in use.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Current Overhead DC: 3.1 Ampere --> 3.1 Ampere No Conversion Required
Resistivity: 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter --> 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Wire DC: 12.7 Meter --> 12.7 Meter No Conversion Required
Line Losses: 0.74 Watt --> 0.74 Watt No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A = ((I^2)*ρ)*L/P_loss --> ((3.1^2)*1.7E-05)*12.7/0.74

Evaluating ... ...

A = 0.00280378243243243

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00280378243243243 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.00280378243243243 ≈ 0.002804 Square Meter <-- Area of Overhead DC Wire

What is a 3 wire dc system?

This is basically a combination of two series-connected unipolar DC systems. It consists of three conductors, two outer conductors (one is positive and the other is negative), and one middle conductor which acts as neutral.
