Factors Affecting Ribbon Cable Performance

Click For Summary
Factors affecting ribbon cable performance include the basic electrical properties of individual wires, such as resistance, inductance, and capacitance. Additionally, the inter-wire electrical qualities are crucial, particularly the capacitance that occurs between adjacent wires. These characteristics can significantly impact signal integrity and overall cable performance. Understanding these factors is essential for optimizing ribbon cable applications. Proper consideration of these elements can lead to improved functionality in electronic systems.

Most important are the basic electrical qualities of each individual wire: resistance, inductance, and capacitance. Second, the inter-wire electrical qualities become important. Most important is the unavoidable capacitance between adjacent wires.

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
