1. What is Power Transmitted Using Line Losses?

Power Transmitted Using Line Losses calculates the amount of power that is transferred from its place of generation to a location where it is applied to perform useful work, taking into account the losses that occur in an Underground AC line.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ P = \sqrt{\frac{P_{\text{loss}} \times (V_m^2) \times (\cos(\Phi))^2}{4 \times R}} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Power Transmitted (Watt)
\( P_{\text{loss}} \) — Line Losses (Watt)
\( V_m \) — Maximum Voltage Underground AC (Volt)
\( \Phi \) — Phase Difference (Radian)
\( R \) — Resistance Underground AC (Ohm)

Explanation: The formula calculates the power transmitted by considering line losses, maximum voltage, phase difference, and resistance in the system.

3. Importance of Power Transmission Calculation

Details: Accurate power transmission calculation is crucial for designing efficient electrical systems, minimizing energy losses, and ensuring proper power delivery to end users.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter line losses in watts, maximum voltage in volts, phase difference in radians, and resistance in ohms. All values must be valid positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are line losses in power transmission?
