Pls tell me what is the exact current conducting capacity
of copper and aluminium cables?how much capacity of cables
need to 90kw induction motor&how?



Pls tell me what is the exact current conducting capacity of copper and aluminium cables?how much ..

Answer / nithyanandam

0.8A per sq.mm for Al. and 1.75A per sq.mm for Copper..

1hp motor takes full load current of 1.5A
1 Kw motor takes full load current of 1.99999A.

Therefore,
90 kw motor takes full load current of 180A.
so, 225 sq.mm aluminium or 102.8 sq.mm copper is the
suitable for 90kw motor

I have a question, I visit 01 site and face a problem, there is 2.5 ton Air Con working, when air con compressor is running at that time rectifier voltages are increasing upto 290-295 v and rectifier is giving main high alarm (rectifier is APC single phase, before starting compressor rectifier voltages was 230v. when air con is going off rectifier voltages are decreasing smoothly at its actual voltages 230v. Load on Genset phases is this: Red-13.5 amp AC (Air Con load), Yellow-1.7 amp AC (BTS lights etc.) and Blew-4 amp AC (telecom system load), Genset phase to phase and neutral to phase voltages are also ok. These are 10 sites having same system and same rectifier APC brand at every site 02 genset are working but the problem is same at all these 10 sites. What will be the reason behind???
