Hey all, its me again.
Here is probably an really easy question but I don't recall how to solve can you help?
This is taken from the 2009 NCEES Electrical Power Sample Questions #512
This is an NEC question but looking up the information in the code book I understand.
The question is basically asking what is the phase to neutral impedance for a given length of cable.
I was able to locate the R and X values from Chapter 9 table 9 in the NEC. Which gave me a complex number of;
0.035 + j0.049 ohms per 1000ft
Now the part that I am hung up on is the question asks for the impedance for just 500ft of conductor.
So my question is how do you divide the impedance 0.035 + j0.049 per 1000ft to get the impedance for this conductor at 500ft.
If anyone could give me a step by step process I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
