1. What is Power Transmitted(2-Phase 4-Wire OS)?

Power Transmitted in a 2-Phase 4-Wire Overhead System refers to the total power delivered through the transmission line at the receiving end. It is defined as the product of current and voltage phasor in the overhead AC line.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Power Transmitted (Watt)
• \( P_t \) — Power Transmitted per Phase (Watt)

Explanation: This formula calculates the total power transmitted in a 2-phase 4-wire overhead system by taking half of the power transmitted per phase.

3. Importance of Power Transmitted Calculation

Details: Accurate power transmission calculation is crucial for system efficiency analysis, load balancing, and ensuring proper power delivery in electrical distribution networks.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter Power Transmitted per Phase in Watts. The value must be valid (greater than 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is the factor 0.5 used in the formula?
A: The factor 0.5 is used because in a 2-phase 4-wire system, the total power transmitted is half of the power transmitted per phase.

Q2: What are typical values for Power Transmitted per Phase?
A: Typical values vary based on system capacity, but generally range from hundreds to thousands of Watts depending on the application.

Q3: When should this calculation be used?
A: This calculation is specifically designed for 2-phase 4-wire overhead systems in electrical power distribution.

Q4: Are there limitations to this formula?
A: This formula is specifically designed for 2-phase 4-wire systems and may not be applicable to other power system configurations.

Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation provides a theoretical value based on ideal conditions. Actual system losses and other factors may affect real-world results.
