Line Losses (DC Two-Wire US) Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Line Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Line Losses is defined as the losses that are produced in the line.
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.
Maximum Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Maximum Voltage the highest voltage rating for electrical devices.
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.

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
Maximum Voltage: 60 Volt --> 60 Volt No Conversion Required
Area of underground dc wire: 0.32 Square Meter --> 0.32 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_line = 2*(P^2)*ρ*l/((V_m^2)*A) --> 2*(300^2)*1.7E-05*3.2/((60^2)*0.32)

Evaluating ... ...

P_line = 0.0085

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0085 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0085 Watt <-- Line Losses
