I have a problem on my homework that I am unable to figure out the equation for it. I've been searching all over trying to find the correct formula but nothing seems right.
The question states to find the distance to the short from end A. The wire is #10 copper uncoated stranded. I know the the ohm/KFT is 1.28 and the CM is 10380.
The first part of the problem states: 2 ohms were measured between black and white wire at end A with black wire shorted (connected) to the white wire at end B.
The second part says: 0.005 ohms were measured through the short between the black wire and the conduit from end A.
I've tried solving with multiple formulas but nothing seems to come out right. If anyone could please help me out with this one it would be much appreciated.
I think I may have figured it out but I'm unsure, it would be nice to know if i did or not.
L=RA/K do that for A and B and subtract the two
La= 2(10380)/10.4 La= 1996
Lb= .5(10380)/10.4 Lb=5
L=1991ft
This is the only formula that I can find that would make any sence.
