Answer Posted / anand
Size of LT able depend upon
1. Load that cable is to carry. Generally, design load for
cable selection is appx 1.4-1.5 times theoretical load
2.Voltage drop while carrying current. Higher the size of
cable, lesser is voltage drop.
Size of HT cable is decided on the basis of load as well as
fault current it is supposed to carry during fault. Cable
hould be able to carry fault current till the tripping
circuits trips

Please help me regarding my one concern. - During earth pit testing we noticed that the Clean earth pit and dirty earth pit showing continuity (Resistance value - 5ohm) . I want to know that if both earth pit have separate location and there is not internal looping between PIT then why such continuity is showing on it . Because of this issue the field side all earthing point showing short. In PLC panel we are providing two types of earthing cable which is coming from separate earth pit (Clean and Dirty earth pit) because of earth PIT showing short our PLC is not complying spec . please help regarding this issues.
