Arc Line Loss Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Arc Line Loss (ALL) is:

\[ \text{ALL} = \text{AC} \times \text{AV} \]

Where:

\( \text{ALL} \) is the Arc Line Loss (watts)
\( \text{AC} \) is the arc current (amps)
\( \text{AV} \) is the arc voltage (volts)

What is Arc Line Loss?

Arc Line Loss (ALL) refers to the power loss that occurs in an electrical arc. It is calculated by multiplying the arc current (AC) by the arc voltage (AV). This loss is typically measured in watts and is an important factor in understanding the efficiency and performance of electrical systems involving arcs, such as in welding or electrical discharge machining.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Arc Current (AC) = 50 amps
Arc Voltage (AV) = 30 volts

Using the formula to calculate the Arc Line Loss:

\[ \text{ALL} = 50 \times 30 = 1500 \text{ watts} \]

The Arc Line Loss is 1500 watts.
