Answer / uttam dutta
cURRENT CARRYING CAPACITY NOT ONLY DEPENDS ON THE CROSS
SECTION OF THE COPPER WIRE, IT ALSO GREATLY DEPENDS UPON
THE TYPE AND THICKNESS OF THE INSULATION, ONE MORE FACTOR
IS CORE OF THE CABLE, IE SINGLE CORE OR MULTICORE.
cONSIDERING ALL THIS FATORS STRICTLY IT CAN BE SAID 1 SQ.
MM COPPER CABLE CAN BEAR MAX.11 AMP SAFELY CONTENIOULY AND
2.R CAN BEAR 19 AMP . 4 SQ MM CAN BEAR 26 AMP. SOME TIME
THIS MAY VARY LITTLE DEPENDING UPON MAKE.

Answer / sonam
CURRENT DENSITY OF CU IS 1 AND AL IS 0.7.FROM HEREU CAN
FIND CURRENT CARRYINGCAPACITY IF U HAVE AREA

Answer / amro
depend the weathier out side the cabel
1- temperature
2- length of the cable
3-load factor
4- the cabel throw ( in air &duct & pipe &cabel tranch&
cabel leader inside the tranch)
for exampel:-
i= power/ volt* cos@
after that let used cabel 4 mm2
look in the catlog cabel and taking the rated current
oppset the wire
rated current *load factor*factor group*factor throw (in
air &duct & pipe &cabel tranch& cabel leader inside the
tranch )*factor temprature =current
1- if more then the load current ites ok
2- if less then the load current ites no must be chose the
big size cabel and again
calculate the equation and so an
after the calculate the voltge droop presentage must be
less the _+ 5 % from the main voltge

Answer / raju
in case copper wire we usually take 4(approximately) amps
per square mm
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 7 Yes | 6 No |
Answer / ramesh kumar k
No.. No.. Mr. Raju... it is 2A/sq.mm atmost for safe
operation... other wise copper wire will burn out...
so the thumb rule is the current carrying capacity is
double that of area...

Can a dc motor works as a dc generator. If yes , then how?
What is meant by analogous system?
what is magnetizing and demagnetizing current in generator and motor?
A 400KVA ,50HZ TRANSFORMER IS TO BE OPERATED AT 50HZ.THEN KVA RATING OF THE TRANSFORMER?.
Short circuit test of induction motor is carried out to compute= A stator resistance B rotor resistance C magnetizing reactance D stator reactance
why we cant use AC supply products in DC supply?
why in India it is maintained for exactly 50HZ frequency, why it is not that 49Hz,why it is so?
1.why is +1+1=+2 why cant it be +3 2.Why is +1*-1=-1 why cant it be something else 3.why are the hilly areas more cooler than the ordinary areas?
xplain in detail d pr. of synchronous motors? why syn. generators r used for the production of electricity?
Can we get the shock if Power system is unearth means delta type take an rated voltage as 6.6 KV?
What is the need of generator relay panel
what will happen when excitation of a synchronous machine is suddenly reduce to zero when it is running at full load..??
