Cable size of motor is decided on the following factors:
1. Full load current of motor(Since P=VICoso/Sqrt3VICoso)
2. Length of Cable.
3. Method of cable laying.(Air(Tray)/Underground(duct)).
4. Voltage drop of cable.
Calculation will be as:
1. If cable is laid on Tray/underground take its
corrosponding derating factors.
2. Multiply all derating factors & this derating factor is
multiplied by current carrying capacity of the cable which
you are going to sellect(from catalogue).
3. Above current should not be less than full load current
of motor.
4. Then check voltage drop (Vd=(IxLxmV/A/m)/(Rx1000))
where Vd=Voltage drop, I=Current(full load),L=length of
Cable(site requirement),mV/A/m=millivolt/Ampere/meter(from
catalogue),R=No. of Runs of cable.
5. Above voltage drop should not be more than 4%/2.5%(As
per requirement).

In a power conditoining unit (inverter) of a solar plant when we measure the d.c. current fed by different strings of solar plates to inverter, the current in the negative wire is less almost by 1 ampere to the current in its positive wire say current in positive wire 5 A , then current in negative wire of the same string is 4 A. Since the current entering should be equal to current leaving then why the current is noticably less in negative wire.
