Line Losses using Constant(DC 3-Wire) Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Line Losses = (((Power Transmitted^2)*Resistivity*(Length of Wire DC^2))/(Constant Overhead DC*(Maximum Voltage Overhead DC)^2))
P_loss = (((P^2)*ρ*(L^2))/(K*(V_m)^2))
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Line Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Line Losses is defined as the total losses occurring in an Overhead DC line when in use.
Power Transmitted - (Measured in Watt) - Power Transmitted is defined as the product of current and voltage phasor in a overhead dc line at the receiving end.
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 total length of the wire from one end to other end.
Constant Overhead DC - Constant Overhead DC is defined as the constant of line of a Overhead supply system.
Maximum Voltage Overhead DC - (Measured in Volt) - Maximum Voltage Overhead DC is defined as the peak amplitude of the AC voltage supplied to the line or wire.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Power Transmitted: 920 Watt --> 920 Watt No Conversion Required
Resistivity: 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter --> 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Wire DC: 12.7 Meter --> 12.7 Meter No Conversion Required
Constant Overhead DC: 7 --> No Conversion Required
Maximum Voltage Overhead DC: 60.26 Volt --> 60.26 Volt No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_loss = (((P^2)*ρ*(L^2))/(K*(V_m)^2)) --> (((920^2)*1.7E-05*(12.7^2))/(7*(60.26)^2))

Evaluating ... ...

P_loss = 0.0913010397329493

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0913010397329493 Watt --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0913010397329493 ≈ 0.091301 Watt <-- Line Losses
