how to choose the cable size for 100A(is there any formula
please update)

Answer Posted / hari

Cable size should be 25 Sq.mm

For Ex: 1000A MCCB
For Al - We have to Consider 0.8/Sq.mm
For Cu - We have to Consider 1.6/Sq.mm

For 1000A = 1000*0.8
= 800A
We have to go for (100X10)mm Bus Bar

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 5 No
