How to calculate cable sizes in sq.mm. with using motor KW?
Any formula there?
Answer Posted / sagir siddiqui
First of all you need to verified full load current of motor,
How can you calculate:
Ex: 1 Motor - 20HP 3ph. 415V 50Hz, 80% efficiency
Cal: A= HPx746/(sqrt3xVoltxPFxefficiency)
=20x746/1.732x415x0.8x0.8
=32.43Amp.
We all know that a motor has 1.5 times starting current,
Then 32.43x1.5 = 48.65Amp
Now you can see in the current currying capacity of cable from manufacturer cable's list.
3.5 x 35 sqmm xlpe cable is sufficient for full load.

Please help me regarding my one concern. - During earth pit testing we noticed that the Clean earth pit and dirty earth pit showing continuity (Resistance value - 5ohm) . I want to know that if both earth pit have separate location and there is not internal looping between PIT then why such continuity is showing on it . Because of this issue the field side all earthing point showing short. In PLC panel we are providing two types of earthing cable which is coming from separate earth pit (Clean and Dirty earth pit) because of earth PIT showing short our PLC is not complying spec . please help regarding this issues.
