WHAT IS THE THUMBRULE FOR FINDING OUT THE CURRENT CAPICITY
OF A COPPER WIRE?? 2.5, 4, 6MM SQUARE ETC...

Answer Posted / uttam dutta

cURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY NOT ONLY DEPENDS ON THE CROSS
SECTION OF THE COPPER WIRE, IT ALSO GREATLY DEPENDS UPON
THE TYPE AND THICKNESS OF THE INSULATION, ONE MORE FACTOR
IS CORE OF THE CABLE, IE SINGLE CORE OR MULTICORE.
cONSIDERING ALL THIS FATORS STRICTLY IT CAN BE SAID 1 SQ.
MM COPPER CABLE CAN BEAR MAX.11 AMP SAFELY CONTENIOULY AND
2.R CAN BEAR 19 AMP . 4 SQ MM CAN BEAR 26 AMP. SOME TIME
THIS MAY VARY LITTLE DEPENDING UPON MAKE.

True or false question. 1.The fuse provide phase and neutral 2.power loss in electrical circuit can take place in (resistance or inductance or capacitance). 3.two phase system each phase has separated by a phase difference of (90 or 180 or 270 or 45). 4.3 phase balanced star connected load neutral current shall be (line current or phase current or zero or unity)
