Answer / khan
Feeder must be a cable but cable may or may not be the feeder.
Feeder: A separate wire used to differentiate & support different sort of power ratings according to requirement.
Its location is at utilization end.
Cable: Any wire that is used in transmission & distribution.

Answer / thowsif_emerson_csm team
Feeder:-
A circuit, such as conductors in conduit or a
busway run, which carries a large block of power from the
service equipment to a sub-feeder panel or a branch circuit
panel or to some point at which the block power is broken
into smaller circuits.
Cable:-A cable is two or more wires or ropes running side
by side and bonded, twisted or braided together to form a
single assembly

u can consider every feeder as a cable but u cant say same
as in case of cable.
a feeder is related with load i.e current or we can say
that current capacity i t can bear.
e.g
1.trunk feeder
2.sub feeders
a trunk feeder is a feeder which comes directly 4m the
grid,,,,for e.g lets say 11kv
sub feeders are originated from trunk feeder e.g a11 kv
line is connected to a bus bar and 4m that several 11 kv
feeder are originated.
3*300 size cable we use in feeders now days for 11kv
3 means 3 core and 300 sq mm cross section area of each
core.
while in case of distribution we generally relate it with
voltage regulation,,and it is again with the help of cables.
so we have concluded that all are cables but when we
specify their roles we just call them with seprate names
