how to calculate the size of cable for 100 kva load,?can somebody tell me with a formula..

Answer / virendra

Considering Powe factor 0.8
Kw = KVA*.08
KW = 100*0.8
= 80 KW
w = 1.73 * 415 * Il * 0.8
80000 = 1.73 * 415 * I1 * 0.8
I = 80000/ 1.73*415*0.8
= 139 Amp

You can choose the cable which current carring capacity per
phase is on or above 140 Amp

By considering the future expansion of load the 180 Sq.mm
AYFY cable is ideal.

Answer / abdulsubur

WE CAN GET FROM THIS REALTION
KVA=KW/KVAR
100*85=85KW
THEN FIND CURRNET FROM P=ROOT 3 VICOSPHI FORMULA THEN FIND
CURRENT AND THEN LENTH FROM THE MV=VD*1000/L*I

Answer / brijesh shakya

Before calculating size of cable, phase & voltage should be
clear then after we can calculate the current of load by
this formula
P=root3*V*I
I=P/(root3*V)
Accodingle we can select the size of cale.

how to calculate the size of cable for 100 kva load,?can somebody tell me with a formula..

Answer / jack

Depends on what voltage you working with.

P = V*I

You got P and V, find what your I is.

Then use a cable selection book from, eg. Olex, choose your
cable from there.

Answer / jiwanjot

i think something is wrong with question ...load can never
be in KVA it should in kw if we talk about motor.....

Is This Answer Correct ?    5 Yes 15 No
