Calculate Parallel Wire Capacitance





Formula

To calculate the parallel wire capacitance:

\[ C = \left(\frac{120}{\sqrt{dc}}\right) \cdot \text{acosh}\left(\frac{s}{d}\right) \cdot 3.333 \cdot \sqrt{dc} \]

What is Parallel Wire Capacitance?

A parallel wire capacitor is a type of electrical capacitor that is an electrical component that stores energy in the form of an electrostatic field. It consists of two parallel wires, often twisted around each other, which serve as its electrodes.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ C = \left(\frac{120}{\sqrt{2.2}}\right) \cdot \text{acosh}\left(\frac{10}{2}\right) \cdot 3.333 \cdot \sqrt{2.2} \]

The Parallel Wire Capacitance is approximately 251.19 pF.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ C = \left(\frac{120}{\sqrt{4.5}}\right) \cdot \text{acosh}\left(\frac{15}{3}\right) \cdot 3.333 \cdot \sqrt{4.5} \]

The Parallel Wire Capacitance is approximately 151.42 pF.
