I want to give Power supply to a house from the Feeder,
Total Load of the House is 128 KW, how to calculate cable
size for this load ?
Answer Posted / s. patel
the equation of Power:
P=VICos (phi)
for single phase:- if load is 128 kw for single phase
then...Iph=(p/vph Cos(phi)(assume:p.f=1)
= 128000/(240x1)
=533Amp so this need 400-500sq mm 1 core of copper ok...
and if 3 phase is there
then
p=1.73xVLxILxCOS(phi)
IL=128000/(1.73x415x1)
=178Amp
if it may p.f is down up to 0.85 then current rating will increase by 200 to 210 Amps
so we have to select the cable as per their current carrying capacity up to 210 amp for three phase connection.
So we have to select 95 sq mm x 3 core...ok

In Air circuit breaker LSIG protection unit is used. Without fault in cables (2 runs 3Cx150Sq.mm Copper, 1Kv grade, XPLE armored cable IR value is more than 550Mohm @ 500V Megger) and load section Long time Overcurrent protection is triggers and trips the unit. We changed LSIG protection with new factory tested unit. Even then fault is persisting. Please suggest the possible causes
