How to select the Cable size for 550 Amps Load without
seeing the cable Catalogue?

Answer Posted / ramesh kumar k

the size of the cable depends upon the material used in the
cable...

if u go for copper cable... the copper has got the current
carrying capacity of 2A/sq.mm continuously with out
overloading effect. so if you want for 550A,

550/2 = 225 sq.mm copper cable u have to use...

i think it is 1.2A/sq.mm for Aluminium...

550/1.2 = 458 sq.mm Aluminium cable u have to use...

like this.... the current carrying capacity is different
for different materials...

What is the need of earthing transformer for delta side of a transformer. (Think of a line section between a star/delta transformer at a grid substation and delta/star transformer at a village. An earthing transformer is there at the delta side of the star/delta transformer at grid substation). As there are no ground reference there will not be fault current if a one phase is grounded. Further L-L phase will be sensed by the primary side of star/delta transformer as a L-G fault. So why an earthing transformer is required at delta side
