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

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Length of Wire DC - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Wire DC is the total length of the wire from one end to other end.
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.
Line Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Line Losses is defined as the total losses occurring in an Overhead DC line when in use.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Overhead DC Wire: 0.65 Square Meter --> 0.65 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Line Losses: 0.74 Watt --> 0.74 Watt No Conversion Required
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

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = A*P_loss/((I^2)*ρ) --> 0.65*0.74/((3.1^2)*1.7E-05)

Evaluating ... ...

L = 2944.23700801861

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2944.23700801861 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2944.23700801861 ≈ 2944.237 Meter <-- Length of Wire DC
