What is the Derating factor of power cables when exposed to
direct sunlight in (both PVC & XLPE).
Answer Posted / william lobo
Generally all cables are rated for ambient temperature. Now
temperature varies from place to place and hence we have
tables showing cables in air and cables buried underground.
Then there is cables spaced between one another which is
more important aspect.
Cable current carrying capacity should also be based on our
own judgement. The table only is a guide. Its just to help
us get the correct size cable for your requirments. So all
these factors help us in deciding the best size cable for
our load. Distance is also an important consideration due
to more voltage drop.

Why we do 2 types of earthing on transformer (ie:)body earthing & neutral earthing , what is function. I am going to install a oo kva transformer & 380 kva dg set what should the earthing value?
Please, if 1kw is equal to 1.25kva; how then do I know how many kva in 7.5kw?
Is a contactor (or master relay) required between incoming lines and a VFD? The question goes to safety. If a contactor were used before the VFD and an e-stop engaged then the motor will coast to a stop (i.e. VFD loses power) instead of stopping much faster if the VFD braking fucntion were used. It would make more sense to keep power on the VFD.
