Hoe do calculate the Cable size for Amps rating ?..

Answer / Akash Mishra

To calculate cable size for ampere (amp) rating, you can use the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system or the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) system. The formula in AWG is: I = SA^(n), where I is the current in amps, S is the cross-sectional area of the wire in circular mils, and n is a constant depending on the material of the wire. In the IEC system, you can use tables to find the appropriate cable size for a given amp rating.

Please clarify, 1. Is it required to lay two runs of GI wire along with Armoured LT cable if it is laid between one big mains (63Amps TPN SDF) to small main (32A TPN SDF) with proper glanding termination? 2. If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from DB to CNC machine, is it required to run two runs of body earthing to the Machine from DB? 3.If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from Substation to Hangar, distance is approx. 100 mtrs, is it required to do earthing at shop area though the primary termination at substation is earthed through gland.
