Lineres Function

Calculate the line resistance

The Lineres function calculation of the DC resistance of an electrical cable. The parameters for the length l and the cross-sectional area A can be real numbers or lists of real numbers.

The third argument is the specific resistance. The value can be transferred as a real number or as a text string with the element symbols "Al" (silver), "Cu" (copper) or "Fe" (iron).

Syntax

Lineres (l, A, R)

Lineres (l, A, "Cu")

Legend

l	Length in meter
A	cross-sectional area in mm2
R	specific resistance in Ohm

Example

R=Lineres(30, 1.5, 1/56)=357.1mΩ

R=Lineres(30, 1.5, "Cu")=357.1mΩ

Formula

\(\displaystyle R_L=\frac{l}{A}ρ\)
