Cable charging current calculation Cable charging current, Ic where Ic is Amp./km.

C in microfarad / km En voltage to neutral in volts = 2PifCEn

25 capacitance as indicated Riyadh cable cat. Voltage per phase Ic Ic microfarad/KM volts Amp/km Amp/meter 0.21 2.40 190.05 0.19

Conclusion is that the value considered in the calculation is higher than the actual values calculated using the c revising the calculation does not arise.
