Load Current using Line Losses(DC 3-Wire) Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Current Overhead DC = sqrt(Line Losses/(2*Resistance Overhead DC))
I = sqrt(P_loss/(2*R))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Current Overhead DC - (Measured in Ampere) - Current Overhead DC is defined as the current flowing through the overhead ac supply wire.
Line Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Line Losses is defined as the total losses occurring in an Overhead DC line when in use.
Resistance Overhead DC - (Measured in Ohm) - Resistance Overhead DC is defined as the property of the wire or line that opposes the flow of current through it.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Line Losses: 0.74 Watt --> 0.74 Watt No Conversion Required
Resistance Overhead DC: 5.6 Ohm --> 5.6 Ohm No Conversion Required
