Cable charging current calculation

Cable charging current, Ic = 2PifCEn

where
Ic is Amp./km.
C in microfarad / km
En voltage to neutral in volts

Value of cable charging considered in the calculation = 0.23 Amp./ft

as per various journals published
= 0.77 Amp./meter

Conclusion is that the value considered in the calculation is higher than the actual values calculated using the c
revising the calculation does not arise.
