Did you know that the NCEES® Reference Handbook does NOT include the formula for the *total* transmission line capacitance (C)?
Are you familiar with the difference between the *line-to-neutral* capacitance (C) and the *total* capacitance (C) of a single-phase transmission line?
Grab your calculator, paper, and pencil and follow along as I show you how to quickly solve these values for a single-phase transmission line using real-world applicable values to help you answer these questions correctly on the PE exam:

2:28 - Solving for the line-to-neutral capacitance (C) in farads per meter [F/m].
5:33 - Converting the units of capacitance (C) to just farads [F].
8:37 - Solving for the line-to-neutral capacitive reactance (Xc) in ohms [Ω].
10:34 - Solving for the total capacitance (C) of the transmission line in farads [F].
14:08 - Solving for the total capacitive reactance (Xc) in ohms [Ω].
