I want to know which cable would be best to carry 125A current to a distance of 50m. Voltage is 3phase.
Kindly share the formula with answer.

Answer Posted / sudesh

according to IEE regulations recommended voltage drop is 3%.
voltage drop=(400x3)/100
=12V
if we select 35sqmm pvc/xlpe/cu cable, it can carry 158A max.current.
so now we should consider about voltage drop of cable.
true voltage drop=volt.drop for cable*Current*Distance
=1.15mV/A/m * 125A * 50m
=7.18V
7.18 < 12
so 35sqmm cable would be best to carry 125A current.

In both 600/1000 V cable and 450/750 V cable, we can supply 415 V. However for distribution, all utilities are using only 600/100 V instead of 450/750 V. What is the reason?
