Factors like the length of the cable, resistance, current
being carried by the cable , short circuit current, voltage
drop all come into play when selecting cable to be used.
First calculate the load current
I = P / x V x pf
pf =0,9 according to TCO Standard P-ST-2035, point 9.9
Then find apparent power
For three phase: S = x V x I
For single phase: S = V x I
Then I find the resistance by Ohm's law:
Z = V / I
V - is particular Load
Then find the short circuit current
I short circuit = S / Z
Then find cable size
S = I sh.circuit x / k k = 143, t = 1
And then select the cable according to the cable catalogs

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF BALANCED / UNBALANCED IN STABILIZER TYPES.
In a 3 phase 4-wire system. For a 3.5 core cable if all loads are single phase and balanced, what will be neutral current? will it be sum of all phase currents? Or it will be zero? And if loads are unbalanced what will be neutral current?
