current it take than what is the formula and it is same for
aluminium or copper?

Answer / mahesh sali
while selection of cable u should followed the below steps ;
1) cal. the full load current If.L= ( kw / 1.732 x v x
p.f. )
Assume the voltage drop of system as per application says
for motor it should be 10% Vd = 10%
2) Vd = ( 10/100) * v
3) Vd/ph. = ( Vd/1.732 )
4) R = vd/ph./IF.L
5) R-Rho*L/A
Assume , for Copper cable Rho = 1.72 e-8 Ohm-m
L = Length of cable
Base on the above assumation u can easily cal. the size of
cable.
After cal. the cable size , add. 25% extra in ur cal. the
cable size .
Thanking u

In case of transformers, for copper cable 2.5A/sq mm and Al
i.5A/sq mm ,for generators 1.5A/sq mm and 1 A/sq mm
respectively.For others 4A & 2.5A per sq mm

Answer / naveen perugu
for copper cable 4Amps/Sqmm is the standard practice and
for alluminium 3Amps/sqmm is the standard practice for
safer operations

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side
