electricpy.characterz(R, G, L, C, freq=60)[source]

Characteristic Impedance Calculator.

Function to evaluate the characteristic impedance of a system with specefied line parameters as defined. System uses the standard characteristic impedance equation (1).

(1)\[Z_c = \sqrt{\frac{R+j\omega L}{G+j\omega C}}\]
Parameters:
R : float

Resistance in ohms.

G : float

Conductance in mhos (siemens).

L : float

Inductance in Henries.

C : float

Capacitance in Farads.

freq : float, optional

System frequency in Hz, default=60

Returns:

Zc – Charcteristic Impedance of specified line.

Return type:

complex
