To select the cable size we need to know the ampere rating
of the load and normally 1 sq.mm of Aluminium cable can
carry upto 1.2Amp and 1 sq.mm of Copper cable can carry
4.3Amp of Current but we should also consider the voltage
drop when the load is far away using the formula
VD=2KIL/cable size in CM
where VD is Voltage drop, K is the losses normally 12 for
copper and 19 for aluminium, L is the length from the
source to the load and CM is centimiles 1sq.mm in centimil
is 1943.5252.

How do i perform grounding of star point of Genset (400V) for making connection with step up transformer of DELTA-DELTA (400V to 20KV) ? while Genset itself has its own neutral and grounding bus bar inside genset breaker box whereas we have another neutral and grounding busbar in synchronizing panel next to genset at maximum distance of 6meter, would someone pls advice if we can only perform neutral grounding in synchronizing panel or should we ground neutral on both places inside genset breaker box and synchronizing panel.
