WE HAVE A LOAD OF 55KW MOTOR ITS VOLTS 380 3PH AND ITS
TAKING 100AMPS (ITS FULL LOAD IS 105AMPS)AND ITS CABLE IS
4CX50SQMM ,NOW ITS GETTING ABNORMAL HEATUP IN CABLE,PLZ
TELL WHY ITS HEAT-UP?(CABLE LENGTH IS 15 METERS ONLY)

Answer Posted / k.prakashchandra

Normally 70 sq mm Al cable or 50 sq mm copper cable is used
for 100 A current.As the length is only 15 m it may not
matter.If ,only the cable ends are getting heated
,connections may be checked.If entire length is getting
heated, voltage drop across the cables is to be measured.If
it is more than 2 % ,the cables have to be replaced for poor
quality of conductor material and insufficient sectional
area due to it.

Can you used moeller lzm1 mccb in a dc system with 125vdc and 20ka short circuit current , beside is it have 24 or 48 volt shunt ? Beside how long current can through from An MCB shunt contacts? (like Z7-AS 24 V)?

why do you add the load short circuit impedance when considering short circuit amperage. It seems that you should only consider supply. If you need to consider loads and you don't know what loads are to be added , what would be a good sub-transient reactance rating for the loads?
