P_line = 2*(C₁^2)*ρ*l/(A)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Line Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Line Losses is defined as the losses that are produced in the line.
Current underground DC - (Measured in Ampere) - Current underground 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 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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Current underground DC: 3 Ampere --> 3 Ampere No Conversion Required
Resistivity: 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter --> 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter No Conversion Required
