Re: how to choose the cable rating for load (KW)? EXAMPLE.50KW load Answer Copper Cable: Sqmm*1.

5, Exam: If we # 1 have 50 Sqmm copper cabe, The it will take load is 50*1.5=75Amp

Suresh Kumar

Al Cable is multiplying factor of 1. Exam: 50 Sqmm cable will take 50A load. 198 No Is This Answer Correct 74 Yes

Re: how to choose the cable rating for load (KW)? EXAMPLE.50KW load 3 Vinod Sharma Answer In a three phase system # 2 p=1.732x3xVxIxCOS@ When load is given 50KW Then I=50000/1.732x3x415x.8 =86A near about taking some future expectancy you can take a cable of having 100A capacity.SO by this u can take a cable of 70mm square in aluminium and 50 mm square in copper 57 No Is This Answer Correct 91 Yes

Re: how to choose the cable rating for load (KW)? EXAMPLE.50KW load 0 Parasuram Answer Cable carring capasity is there.. we can # 3 get form cable manufacturer... for 50kW load, current(I) = 50/(1.732*415*.8(p.f)) I = 28.75A For 1.5Sqmm cable curent carring capasity = 20A in ground 2.5 = 27,

4 = 34, 6 = 43, 10 = 57, 16 = 73A like that. now our load current is 28.75A No.of cable with size =28.75/43A (6Sqmm) = .6686/.7 (Diff factor) =.955 there fore 1run 6 Sqmm aluminium cable we selected for 50 kW load. 126 No Is This Answer Correct 26 Yes

Re: how to choose the cable rating for load (KW)? EXAMPLE.50KW load 0 Engineer Answer Right cable size Sellection depends on # 4 3 factors: 1- Load Current.current(I) = 50kW /(1.732*415*0.85 (p.f)) =139A 2- Distance(From feeder to your load) 3- Allawable Voltage droop in your system (Should be less than 5% ) As experience you can use 10sqrmm for 40A,for 120meter. 24 No Is This Answer Correct 44 Yes

Re: how to choose the cable rating for load (KW)? EXAMPLE.50KW load 0 Answer Fisrt calcultate Load in Ampere as Mohammad Farman # 5 basic formula below Khan I (Amp ) = P ( KW) / 1.732*Voltage (400 or 415 or 380 )* p.f Voltage depend on frequency rating (50 Hz or 60 Hz) then check where you have to laid in AIR or Ground

you have to consider so many factor. suppose you laid in Ground then factor to be consider as below (1) Soil Thermal Rseistivity (2) Group factor (3)Rating factor of ground temprature (4)Rating Factor depth of laying then calculte Voltage drop on behalf of amper rating by load. once you calculate then check length V.D = mv x I X L/1000 OR mv =V.D X 1000/IXL VD= Maximum acceptable volt drop (in volt) mv =appropriate volt drop (in mv /amp /metre I = Current per phase (in ampere) L= Length ( in meter) 6 No Is This Answer Correct 25 Yes

Re: how to choose the cable rating for load (KW)? EXAMPLE.50KW load 0 M.saad Answer Calclate the load Current # 6 I = p/((root3)*V*P.F ) where I line current, v line voltage then go to cable tabe and check the Drateing factors.such as if this cable underground,free,soil,depth of laying, ambient temperture, armoed or unarmoed etc. then calcute the voltage drop if more than 4% you should to select the next bigger cross section at table. by experince for copper PVC cables 1mm take 2.5 AMP 6 No Is This Answer Correct 12 Yes

23 No

Re: how to choose the cable rating for load (KW)? EXAMPLE.50KW load 0 Er.p.somasundaram Answer 10 H.P = 10.25 Amps # 8 IN CASE ALUMINIUM CONDUCTOR USE CONSTANT VALUE IS =0.75 IN CASE COPPER CONDUCTOR USE CONSTANT VALUE IS =1.25 SO CONDUCTOR SIZE+cable sqmm *075 =10.25amps, now a days increase current so cable size is small size increases. 10.25*0.75=10 sq mm 19 No Is This Answer Correct 9 Yes

Re: how to choose the cable rating for load (KW)? EXAMPLE.50KW load 0 Shabeeb Answer 50kw load will take 87 amps (approx.). # 9 There is table of different types of cables available in the manufactures site. More over there is so many factors are there to select a cable. Such as the type of material (copper / aluminium), single core or multicore, how and where the cable is being laid, the length of cable(for voltage drop calculation), type of load and its starting current (for

motors), future load etc. Normally if the load is 50KW, 70sq.mm Aluminium cable or 50sq.mm copper cable can be used. 8 No Is This Answer Correct 9 Yes

Re: how to choose the cable rating for load (KW)? EXAMPLE.50KW load Answer Given- KW-50 # 11 Now from formula I= KW X1000/(V X I X 1.732 X .8) =86.95 A Now by refering fenolex cable rating table For 25mm2 =80A Which is less than our o/p current so we can select 35mm2 having current capacity is 102A
