electrical cable power loss

A model for the total power loss in an electrical cable, integrating the loss per unit length along it: P_loss,cable = a/3⋅l^3 + b/2⋅l^2 + c⋅l, with a, b and c the coefficients of the parabola through the loss per metre at the begin, middle and end of the cable.

Notes

This node's name is a non-informative reference to a model in Zaaijer (2013); it should get an informative name.
2026-09-09: name, description changed — Table D-1, row "Integration of cable loss per segment", under Electricity. Named after the Variable it computes; "total cable loss per unit length" is the per-metre quantity this one integrates. The published name was the table's row number, which the node's own note asks to replace; the description now carries the equation, which the new name would otherwise only restate.
