A1: Pushpa Chitrakar:
Basic Assumptions:
1. Inductance effect is neglected as the load is assumed as resistive.
2. Balanced load is considered in case of 3-phase, i.e., neutral wire carries no current.

Phase Rated voltage
3-phase 400
1-phase 400/1.732

G6: Pushpa Chitrakar:

Phase Current (A)
3-phase Power*1000/(1.732*V)
1-phase Power*1000/V
Power factor of 0.8 is considered.

K6: Pushpa Chitrakar:

Impedence = Sqrt(Resistance^2+Reactance^2)

L4: Pushpa Chitrakar:

This cost does not include the cost of neutral used in 3-phase transmission line

L6: Pushpa Chitrakar:

Phase Voltage drop
3-phase 1.732*I*Z*L
1-phase 2*I*Z*L

M6: Pushpa Chitrakar:

Phase Vi
1-1 or 3-3 Vprev - dV
3-1 Vprev/1.732 - dV

N6: Pushpa Chitrakar:

Increase the ACSR code by 1 if voltage drop exceeds 10%.
