how we can calculate cable size of 230v,1 hp single phase
motor ? panel to motor distance is 25 meter

Answer Posted / abokamal

cable design.
first we have to choose CB.
(I)load=P/(V*PF)......... assume pf=0.8
(I)=746/(230*0.8)=4.1 Ampere
(I)cb=(I)load *s.f (FASETY FACTOR)=4.1*1.25=5.1 Ampere
(I)cable=(I)cb/D.F (DERATING FACTOR)=5.1/0.8=6.33 Ampere
from catalouge you can select the cable according to the
current.
you have to see (volt/ampere/meter) to see the voltage drop
limit which according to +-5%

I have made a 3 phase thyristor full bridge rectifier. But at the moment it is working only for the half bridge operation. Both the half bridges are on operation separately but when i put it into full bridge operation the oscilloscope output is zero. I rechecked that the pulses are correct for each thyristor. what could be the possible reason for this?
