Answer / jafar

for calculating cable size first we have to calculate load current
example 1 : 3KW POWER (1phase)
current i= 3*1000 /(230*0.8)
= 16.3A
for current carrying capacity of 1 sq mm copper is 2.4A
for current carrying capacity of 1 sq mm AL is 1.4A

now here if we use Cu then cable size is 16.3/2.4
= 6.79 is our calculated value
so we can choose near size of cable which is 10 sq mm

example 2 : 100W power (3 phase)
current i= 100*1000/(1.732*400*0.8)
= 180A

like that above
cable size is 180/2.4 = 75
so near size is 95 mm2

for three phase copper cable is consider as 1sq mm ,3amp.
for aluminium cable 1sqmm -1amp

A genarator is connected through a 20MVA ,13.8/138 KV stepdown transformer to a transmission line. at the reciving end of the line a load is supplied through a step down transformer of 10MVA,138/69 KV rating .A 0.72 PU load evaluated on load side transformer ratings as base values ,is supplied from the above system for system base values of 10 MVA and 69 KV in load circuit the value of the load in generator circuit will be ...........
