How to calculate the current carrying capacity of
electrical cables

Answer Posted / t.raju goud

Actually current carrying capacity of the cable we can from
the manufacturer, But for the referance purpose I can give
some idea about current capacity of the cable.
So generally we are using two types of cable i.e,. copper &
Aluminium.
copper is the best conductor than the aluminium
At 1Sqmm copper conductor will Approx 2 amp in ground
At 1Sqmm copper conductor will Approx 2.4 amp in air
At 1Sqmm Aluminium conductor will Approx 1.2 amp in ground
At 1Sqmm Aluminium conductor will Approx 1.6 amp in air.

For example:
p=50kw
load current=87amps
So
for aluminum cable size(air)= load current/1.6
=87/1.2
=72.5
But In the market there is no availability for 72.5 Sqmm so
we can propose 70Sqmm or 95Sqmm.
This is the one of the best procedure for for cable
selection with using catelogues
