Answer / k.prakashchandra
carrying capacity for cu cable is taken as 2.5 A and 1.5
for Al, per sq mm.In case of generator as the load is
continuous at full value ,they are taken as 1.5 and 1

Answer / mujeeb
as cureent is directly prop to cable size
so if the size of the cable of the is in c then current
carrying capacity of the cable also inc ......
so if the loaD is know then cable size can be easily
determined

Answer / p.parthasaradhy
Normally, the cable manufacturer will provide the cuurent
carrying capacity of a cable. As the cable size increases,
the current density per sq.mm. will be reducing. Also, based
on the distance between the cables during the layout in the
duct the multiplying factor changes ( less than one). the
loading is more for an underground cable is more as compared
when the cable is laid above the ground.

What is thermal relay and how it is works in transformer please explain
I have 11KV/415V power distribution transformer. I have found unbalance current in LT (415V) side. Also observed that unbalance voltage (3V) at LV side due to HV side unbalance voltage. What should I check for this? Also, the same LV side load can run in balance on captive power.
