Basic Telephony cable is manufactured with a built in capacitance of 0.084uF (microfarads) per mile on 22-24AWG (for example) wire. Basic cable length can be estimated with a voltmeter. Messuring the amount of voltage discharged when placing the wire to ground, discharging the stored voltage in the wire.

How do you calculate cable distance using farads?

All underground cables have relatively high values of capacitance, due to the close proximity of their cores and earthed (grounded) metallic sheath. Manufacturers provide data for their cables, which express their capacitance in terms of capacitance per unit length, e.g. microfarads per metre.Certain categories of underground cable-fault can be located by measuring the capacitance (using an appropriate bridge circuit) of the healthy section of the cable then, having determined the capacitance per unit length for that type of cable, measuring-off the distance along the cable route to the fault position.

Can you use ac supply for cable meggering?

No. The cable has capacitance, and an AC source would not be able to distinguish between capacitance and leakage.


Why ac megger not use in cable meggering?

Because the cable has capacitance, and an AC source would not be able to distinguish between capacitance and leakage.


What is the difference between capacitance and stray capacitance?

Capacitance is an ability to store an electric charge. "If we consider two same conductors as capacitor,the capacitance will be small even the conductors are close together for long time." this effect is called Stray Capacitance.


Does the stray capacitance or the resistance of the monitor cable have the greater effect on the monitor's color?

no


Elastance is the reciprocal of capacitance so what is the reciprocal of inductance?

electric reluctance


How do you calculate total capacitance if connected in series?

reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals.


What is inductance and capacitance and impedence?

The inductance of an inductor is the capacity of the inductor to induce electric flux. The capacitance of a capacitor is the capacity of the capacitor to store charges. THE IMPEDANCE OF A CIRCUIT IS THE TOTAL OPPOSITION OFFERED TO THE FLOW OF ELECTRIC CURRENT.


Why the 3 phase of high voltage conductor or cable transposed?

3 phase cable is transposed to minimize the effect of leakage/capacitance current.


Which physical property is defined as the ratio of the change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential?

The physical property defined as the ratio of the change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential is capacitance. This property is measured in farads (F) and it quantifies how much charge can be stored per unit voltage.


What is capacitance?

Theoretically, Capacitance is defined as the ability of a component or circuit to collect and store energy in the form of an electrical charge. Mathematically, it is defined as the ratio of the change in an electric charge in a system to the corresponding change in its electric potential.
