How to calculate cable sizes in sq.mm. with using motor KW?
Any formula there?
Answer Posted / abid
Normally for the circuit breaker calculation we multiply our motor's current into 125% for example if a motor 5HP operates in 8amps we multiply8*125%(10) so the breaker size will be 8+10 18amps or 20 amps.
and for the cable size we multiply breakers amp*1.5
=27
so for 5hp 3ph motor suitable breaker is 20amps
and the suitable cable 4sqmm

for 100 HP Induction motor service factor is 1.2(SF) we placed a VFD at the motor side load is balance with 0.3 Amp's Phase to Phase but at incoming of VFD load is un-balance with 10 to 20 Amp's what will be cause of load un balance
