This formula uses 1 Functions, 6 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

Power Factor - The power factor of an AC electrical power system is defined as the ratio of the real power absorbed by the load to the apparent power flowing in the circuit.
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.
Maximum Voltage Underground AC - (Measured in Volt) - Maximum Voltage Underground AC is defined as the peak amplitude of the AC voltage supplied to the line or wire.
Resistivity - (Measured in Ohm Meter) - Resistivity is the measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of current through them.
Length of Underground AC Wire - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Underground AC Wire is the total length of the wire from one end to other end.
Area of Underground AC Wire - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Underground AC Wire is defined as the cross-sectional area of the wire of an AC supply system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Power Transmitted: 300 Watt --> 300 Watt No Conversion Required
Maximum Voltage Underground AC: 230 Volt --> 230 Volt No Conversion Required
Resistivity: 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter --> 1.7E-05 Ohm Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Underground AC Wire: 24 Meter --> 24 Meter No Conversion Required
Area of Underground AC Wire: 1.28 Square Meter --> 1.28 Square Meter No Conversion Required
