- Designing cables and overhead power lines requiring accurate resistivity unit conversions.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify units before converting to ensure correct input and output selections.
- Use the converted value in conjunction with conductor length and cross-sectional area to compute resistance.
- Apply this conversion primarily within North American electrical contexts where circular mil ohm/foot is standard.
- Account for temperature effects separately, as resistivity varies with temperature conditions.
- Use precise measurements of cross-sectional area and geometry to improve calculation reliability.
Limitations
- Conversion assumes constant temperature since resistivity changes with temperature.
- Circular mil ohm/foot is mainly applicable within North American wiring and conductor standards.
- Cross-sectional area and shape measurement accuracy affects the precision of resistance calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
