How you calculating the current for a 2.5 Sqmm cable.
A 30 Hp 3 phase AC motor of power what size of cable is
used for this motor.


Answer Posted / ramesh insan

As per thumb rule
Power Sq root 3=1.732
Voltage =415
PF=0.8
Cos=0.85

1.732*415*0.8*0.85=488.77

30HP*746W=22380/488.77=45.79 Amp

Is This Answer Correct ?    0 Yes 0 No
