how to calculate the cable size in sqmm if load (kw) is given?

Answer Posted / nishant

Its depends on the voltage drop by current calculated from
KW rating. In india generally 3% voltage drop is considered
pumps/motors. It is basically different for different
equipment. It also depends on the cable length. If cable
length is more then voltage will be high so size will be high.
