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
