#Variable declaration
V = 132.0*10**3        #Voltage(V)
n = 3.0                #Number of phase
f = 50.0               #Frequency(Hz)
l = 50.0               #Line length(km)
C = 0.0157*10**-6      #Capacitance to earth(F/km)

#Calculation
L = 1/(n*(2*math.pi*f)**2*C*l)     #Inductance(H)
X_L = 2*math.pi*f*L                #Reactance(ohm)
I_F = V/(3**0.5*X_L)               #Current(A)
rating = I_F*V/(3**0.5*1000)       #Rating of arc suppression coil(kVA)

#Result
print('Inductance, L = %.1f Henry' %L)
print('Rating of arc suppression coil = %.f kVA' %rating)
print('\nNOTE: Changes in the obtained answer from that of textbook is due to more approximation in the textbook')
Inductance, L = 4.3 Henry
Rating of arc suppression coil = 4297 kVA
