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

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Line Losses = 2*(Power Transmitted^2)*Resistance underground DC/((Maximum Voltage^2))
P_line = 2*(P^2)*R₁/((V_m^2))
This formula uses 4 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.
Resistance underground DC - (Measured in Ohm) - Resistance underground DC is defined as the time rate of flow of charge through a cross-sectional area.
Maximum Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Maximum Voltage the highest voltage rating for electrical devices.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Power Transmitted: 300 Watt --> 300 Watt No Conversion Required
Resistance underground DC: 5 Ohm --> 5 Ohm No Conversion Required
Maximum Voltage: 60 Volt --> 60 Volt No Conversion Required
