how to calculate the size of cable for 100 kva load,?can
somebody tell me with a formula
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Considering Powe factor 0.8
Kw = KVA*.08
KW = 100*0.8
= 80 KW
w = 1.73 * 415 * Il * 0.8
80000 = 1.73 * 415 * I1 * 0.8
I = 80000/ 1.73*415*0.8
= 139 Amp
You can choose the cable which current carring capacity per
phase is on or above 140 Amp
By considering the future expansion of load the 180 Sq.mm
AYFY cable is ideal.

Answer / prashant singh
KVA=uder root3*V*A/1000
A=Under root 3*415*KVA/1000

Answer / abdulsubur
WE CAN GET FROM THIS REALTION
KVA=KW/KVAR
100*85=85KW
THEN FIND CURRNET FROM P=ROOT 3 VICOSPHI FORMULA THEN FIND
CURRENT AND THEN LENTH FROM THE MV=VD*1000/L*I

Answer / brijesh shakya
Before calculating size of cable, phase & voltage should be
clear then after we can calculate the current of load by
this formula
P=root3*V*I
I=P/(root3*V)
Accodingle we can select the size of cale.

Answer / jack
Depends on what voltage you working with.
P = V*I
You got P and V, find what your I is.
Then use a cable selection book from, eg. Olex, choose your
cable from there.

Answer / jiwanjot
i think something is wrong with question ...load can never
be in KVA it should in kw if we talk about motor.....
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 5 Yes | 15 No |
Answer / mehul g. c.
if your load is single phase then you should use 3.5c x 185
sq.mm alu. Armoured cable.
