How to calculate cable size in sq units based on motor rating
is KW

Answer Posted / prabhas

Usualy in large industries the cable size is calculated,
for 1A of current its 1 sq mm of aluminium cable and 0.5sq
mm of copper cable.

Ex: In case 600A : 300 sqmm or 2R x 150 sqmm cable to be
preferable. in same case iys 150sqmm of copper cable is
enough.

In our factory so many iron pillors are exists for supporting the shed/Hangar. If do more no of earthings at one piller instead of doing more earth pits in many locations and running earth strip around the hanger, I can save the money. Please suggest this method is acceptable as per Is specifications though the Earth resitance of the farthest piller is with in the limits as per IS specifications.
