No, because it is not loss - inductance by definition will cause reactive power which can be compensated for using capacitor banks (one example). I^2 * R losses (power loss through the cable) takes into account the resistance of the line.

How do you calculate armoured cable cross-sectional area?

For electrical purposes the formula for calculating the circular-mil area of a circular wire is very simple. A = D squared, Area equals diameter of the cable or wire squared. This calculation is needed when pulling cables into a cable tray so as not to overfill the tray. Over filling a cable tray will build up a heat from the cables if proper ventilation between the cables is not maintained.

Is it possible to extend the service of a 3 phase generator rated at eleven KVA and 8000 Amperes 150 to 200 meters down line with power cables?

Yes, it is possible to extend the service of a 3-phase generator with power cables. However, the length and gauge of the cables need to be considered to ensure there is no significant voltage drop over the distance. It is recommended to consult with an electrician or engineer to determine the appropriate cable size for the desired length.


What is the weight capacity of a suspension bridge?

A suspension bridge is designed to have cables suspended between towers plus vertical suspender cables that carry the weight of the roadway below. The Golden Gate Bridge is a great example of this type of bridge and is considered an engineering marvel.

What is the effect of inductive load in distribution system?

Inductive load where current lags voltage to keep the power factor low thus increasing the consumption of more electrical units of supply provider. This is since an inductive load draws reactive power as well with active power. Reactive component is watt less power drawn from the source. We use only active part of the source. But pays from active+reactive parts. This low power factor also effects the other systems in the circuit virtually making the cables under sized by heating them

What does impedance mean and how does it affect RG6 cables?

Impedance is similar to resistance, but with an extra property called reactance that only affects AC signals. A steady DC signal only "sees" the resistance of a circuit or a cable, while AC "sees" both the resistance and the reactance. The resistance plus the reactance equals the impedance. The reactance includes both capacitance (a tendency to store electrical energy) and inductance (a tencency to store magnetic energy). For cables like RG6, the DC resistance is very low, only an ohm or less per hundred feet, while the impedance is 75 ohms. The impedance value of the cable is determined by the outer diameter of the center conductor, the inner diameter of the outer conductor, and electrical properties of the material between the two (the dialectric). For practical purposes, the only thing that really matters is that the impedance of the cable needs to be the same as the impedance of any connectors or adapters and the signal source and destination (load) it is used with. When one of those elements has a different impedance, some of the signal tends to reflect back to the source instead of continuing to the destination. Coaxial cables are generally used when it is important to preserve as much signal as possible between the source and the destination, as in broadcasting, or to protect the signal from external interference. The outer conductor is generally grounded and blocks interference from reaching the inner conductor, which carries the signal.
