How to select the Cable size for 550 Amps Load without
seeing the cable Catalogue?

Answer Posted / syed masood

t he cable size depends upon the ams rating but the cables size defined standard value the ams rating enclosed this values some values 2.5,4,6,10,......630
first you have to know full conductor size standard value
then you calculate cable size depends upon the ams by using this relation cu=2-5ams per sq.mm
al=1.2-2ams per sq.mm
4 guage for 125-150ams convert guage into mm

When we have earthing mesh or underground earthing network in industrial plants, weather we have NT-S or NT-C-S kind of earthing system, so eventually weather we must use 4 or 5 wire in 400 volt level (For example 3×150+70 mm2 or 5×150 mm2) in this connection I would like to know exactly the paragraph of IEC or IEEE number
