Line Loss answer
1000 ft length of # 14AWG copper conductor has about 2.575 ohms
What power would be lost if 15A is sent over 11000 feet (about 2 miles/3.2Km) ?
R = 11000ft/1000ft X 2.57 ohms = 28.27 ohms
P = I2R = 152 A X 28.27 ohms = .64kW
about 16% of electrical energy generated is used to transmit it to the consumer
why is rural electricity more expensive than urban?
