1. What is Volume Of Conductor Material Using Resistance?

The Volume Of Conductor Material Using Resistance calculation determines the 3-dimensional space enclosed by a conductor material in a DC Three-Wire underground system based on electrical parameters and system characteristics.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ V = \frac{5 \times (P^2) \times R1 \times l \times A}{P_{line} \times (V_m^2)} \]

Where:

\( V \) — Volume Of Conductor (m³)
\( P \) — Power Transmitted (Watt)
\( R1 \) — Resistance underground DC (Ohm)
\( l \) — Length of Wire DC (Meter)
\( A \) — Area of underground dc wire (Square Meter)
\( P_{line} \) — Line Losses (Watt)
\( V_m \) — Maximum Voltage (Volt)

Explanation: This formula calculates the volume of conductor material required based on the electrical characteristics and losses in a DC Three-Wire underground system.

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate volume calculation is crucial for material estimation, cost calculation, and proper design of underground DC electrical systems to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
