Answer / shabba
Things you should take into consideration when calculating
size of conductor to be used on an installation.
1. Type of material been used. (i.e. copper / aluminium)
2. Length of conductor
3. Voltage Drop
4. Situation been used. (Enclosed, Unenclosed, Etc.)
5. Current Rating of Conductor (Current carring capacity)
6. Temperator Co-effiecient
These are some typical thing to look for.

Answer / adil akhtar
we can find the size of conductor either aluminum or copper
by the formula
R = P*l/A
whare R is resistance of conductor
......P is resistivity of conductor
......l is length of conductor
......A is area of crossection
and we can find the length of conductor or area of
crossection by this formula....

How to find Cable size? Caterpillar generator produce (Two generators) 127*2=254 amp at 11 kv . What would be the cable size (XLPE) to supply 256 amp at 11 kv? Air or surrounding Temperature is 32 degree C. Cable will go under ground at 2.5 feet depth. Group Rating Factors is 3 cables. Clearance between cables is 7 cm. Soil Temperature (Ambient) 28o C Soil Thermal Resistivity is 1.2 K.m/W I would like to use 3 separate single core instead of using 3 core cable. Some says I should use three separate single core 120RM cables. Some says 70RM .some says 95. I m totally confused. Is there ant specific rule to determine cable size? What would be the LT cable size to flow 500 Amp current? Ifte My e mail address is ifte13@yahoo.com Anyone please send me the answer to my e mail address, i will be very glad.
