HOW TO CALCULATE THE CABLE SIZE FOR POWER CABLE, CONTROL
CABLE AND INSTRUMENT CABLE

Answer Posted / naresh chandra jha

it depend upon connecting load and voltage . cable size is
calculated by = (IT^(o.5))/k
where I= max. fault current
T=time to withstand fault current
K=conductor constant , for alluminium k=0.094

Is This Answer Correct ?    5 Yes 5 No
