Answer / engr.muhammad younas khan
SINGLE PHASE FORMULA FOR CABLE SIZING.
REQUIRED DATA:-
I :- AMPERES
L :- LENGTH OF CABLE.
K :- CONDUCTIVITY OF COPPER(58)
:- CONDUCTIVITY OF ALUMINUM (36)
Vd:- VOLTAGE DROP.
GIVEN DATA:
I:- 50 AMPERES.
L:- 100 METERS.
Vd:- 3% ACCEPTABLE OF 230 VOLTS
FORMULA:-
AREA (mm2)= 2*I*L/(K*Vd)
= 2*50*100/(58*6.9)
= 24.98 mm2
= ALMOST 25 mm2
FOR THREE PHASE:
AREA(mm2) = 1.732*50*100/(58*12)
= 12.44 mm2
= ALMOST 15 mm2
3% voltage drop of 400 volts =12 volts.
ABOVE EXPLAINED FOR IS PROPERLT CORRECT.USE AND ENJOY.

Answer / gurunadharaov
by the formula p=v*i*cos@
assume the load as 5kw and operating at 230v and also
assume the load as inductive (so the power factor is 0.5
pf lag)
now by formula
5000=230*i*0.5
i=50A
NOW CABLE SIZE MUST BE > LOAD
SO CABLE SIZE IZ 65SQMM(ITZ DSSEPEND ON AL/CU CABLE)

what is principle operation of transformer?
I am working as maintenance engg. in electrical but i want to do carrier in electrical drawing.Tell me about that.
what is difference between inductive and reactiveload?
is it possible to run the any motor when winding grounded? how?
If the primary side current of 33/11 transformer is 64 amps then what will be secondary side current?
In a company the lines carrying 33KV but the load is below 10000Volts so we know that <11KV we can put 11KV lines but the lines are 33KV,..so how we can step down the voltage to 11KV with out erecting a substation
difference bewteen reverse current and alternating current
how i sync. the different size of generator.
why after termination of HT cable armoured earth connected one end, why not connect other end.pls tell me correct answer.
What is making & breaking current ???
why induction motors are rated at 0.8 power factor.
friends., why celling fan rotate cockwise direction and wall fan anticickwise direction ?
