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.
Line Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Line Losses is defined as the total losses occurring in an Overhead DC line when in use.
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.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Line Losses: 0.74 Watt --> 0.74 Watt No Conversion Required
Area of Overhead DC Wire: 0.65 Square Meter --> 0.65 Square Meter 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 = Ploss*A/(2*(I^2)*ρ) --> 0.74*0.65/(2*(3.1^2)*1.7E-05)
Evaluating ... ...
