I want formula to calculate cable size as per load given in
kw & amp.I searched many sites but didn't right answer.Plz
reply me asap.

Answer Posted / premgin

See dear the basic soultion to cable size calculatiion in
sismple form can be done like this

Vd= ( mv* I * lenghth)*100/(400*1000)

I u can calualte from the Kw value for the particular pf
simple P/554

L required length

mV is the volatage drop/amp/km that can be obtained for the
particluar size of cable from supplier

eg. for 4cx16 its around 2.5 for most suppliers

100/400 is just amultiplication factor for converting it in
to 3 phase


Now do calulation and check if voltage drop limit is below
2.5 or 4 as per your standards


Simple.

But be cutious this is the simplest method and suitabel
method,many factors like grouping factor,derating
factor,spacing factor,type of laying,etc has to be taken
for apt analysis

Software like E Tap can also be utilised

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
