Length using Line Losses (DC Three-Wire US) Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Wire DC = Area of underground dc wire*Line Losses/(2*Resistivity*(Current underground DC^2))
l = A*P_line/(2*ρ*(C₁^2))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Wire DC - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Wire DC is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
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.
Line Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Line Losses is defined as the losses that are produced in the line.
Resistivity - (Measured in Ohm Meter) - Resistivity is the measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of current through them.
Current underground DC - (Measured in Ampere) - Current underground DC is defined as the current flowing through the overhead ac supply wire.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of underground dc wire: 0.32 Square Meter --> 0.32 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Line Losses: 0.6 Watt --> 0.6 Watt No Conversion Required
Resistivity: 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter --> 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter No Conversion Required
Current underground DC: 3 Ampere --> 3 Ampere No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

l = A*P_line/(2*ρ*(C₁^2)) --> 0.32*0.6/(2*1.7E-05*(3^2))

Evaluating ... ...

l = 627.450980392157

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

627.450980392157 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

627.450980392157 ≈ 627.451 Meter <-- Length of Wire DC
