how calculate cable size in squre mm, when the load is
given by in kw? do u have current rating chart of elctrical
cables?

Answer Posted / shahidul islam (srabon)

When the power is known in kW then the formula for knowing
the current in A is I=(P/(sr(3)*V(phase)). Now we the
current. After finding the current we know that the current
density of copper is 2.5. Finally to calculate the cable
isze we apply the given formula in practice.
I=A*2.5
so, A=I/2.5 (in square mm)
Where A=Area of conductor or here cooper is used
A=w*l
w=width
L=length of the conductor
Hope the answer of the question

Please clarify, 1. Is it required to lay two runs of GI wire along with Armoured LT cable if it is laid between one big mains (63Amps TPN SDF) to small main (32A TPN SDF) with proper glanding termination? 2. If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from DB to CNC machine, is it required to run two runs of body earthing to the Machine from DB? 3.If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from Substation to Hangar, distance is approx. 100 mtrs, is it required to do earthing at shop area though the primary termination at substation is earthed through gland.
