I want formula to calculate cable size as per load given in
kw & amp.I searched many sites but didn't right answer.Plz
reply me asap.

Answer Posted / abhishek gupta

For 400V 3ph AC system

# For 1% permissible voltage drop

size of cable in mmsq (aluminium cable)=( I*L) /80

# For 2% permissible voltage drop

size of cable in mmsq (aluminium cable)=( I*L) /160

# For 3% permissible voltage drop

size of cable in mmsq (aluminium cable)=( I*L) /240

I = Full load current
L = Length in meter from load center to motor

Is This Answer Correct ?    0 Yes 1 No

L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is located at a place from where transmission line enters the transmitting substation. So L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is the first equipments which has to encounter with lightening, high voltage surges and switching surges. It has to absorb energy of lightening, high voltage surges, and switching surges. L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is made up of layers of semiconductors. If these layers can not tolerate energy released by lightening, high voltage surges, and switching surges the L.A. (Lightening Arrester) blasts.
