How to calculate the size of the cable? for exp i want to
use the load of 10HP
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Hai
its is very simple
load=10 HP
10 X 0.746= 7.46 KW
7.46 X 1000/ ROOT 3 X 0.8X 415= 12.97 A= 13 A
So our require cable shouls be withstand 13 A AT full load
condition .
u will reff any one cable manufacture catalouge which
cable suitable for the same load . but that cable to be
suitable for Appx -18A because u will consider the
derating factor for cable .

Answer / santosh
Sqmm of cable depends upon the cable material.In thumb rule Cu cable can carry 10-12 times of its rated sqmm.For ex 10 sqmm cu cable carry 100-120 amps.Al cable carry 4 times current of its rated sqmm
For ur problem: 13A is rated current. 50-60 amp staring current,7-8 running cu.So u may need 4 sqmm Al cable or 2.5 sqmm cu cable.

Control cables in S's will carry 1000v which is AC R DC? Pls answer me
1. A 380 / 220 V r.m.s. 3-phase 4-wire circuit carries loads of 8 + j8.1 ohm; 4 + j4.1 ohm; and 2 +j2.1 ohmin the three phases respectively. The length of the circuit is 100 m, and the resistivity of the phase conductors is 0.0005 Ω/m. The neutral conductor is of the same size as the phase conductors. a) Select a reference angle 0for the first phase. Then write down the three phase voltages in both polar format and complex number format. b) Make appropriate assumptions, and take temperature effects on resistance is insignificant. Calculate the currents in the three phases. (Note: Determine conductor resistance, and apply Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law) Based on the result, suggest a main switch rating for the circuit. c) Show your preferred direction of neutral current in a diagram, and then determine its value. (Note: Apply superposition principle, and Kirchhoff’s Current Law) Use its magnitude to show that in this circuit, the unbalanced load may increase the voltage drop in some of the phases. (Note: Also observe the common volt drip in neutral) State your assumptions, if there are any. d) Suddenly the neutral wire of the circuit is broken. Estimate the new currents in the first phase, i.e. Phase L1. State your assumptions, if there are any.
