for 12KW motor which cable size has to select for ex.10
meter.

Answer Posted / phanendra babu

the selected cable should have the capability of
withstanding the over load /short ckt currents upto before
operating the protecting device. so assume 0.81 p.f,the load
current is given by apprx 20A .very safe working of copper
cable is 4A to 6A per 1sqmm ,so the size of the cable
suitable for 12kw motor is 6sqmm. copper cable or 16 sqmm
aluminum cable.

the above calculation is for lo current ratings if current
rating increases capacity will decrease.

A 15 kw squirrel cage motor having a maximum efficiency of 90% on a continuous full load has temperature rise of 42 degrees celcius after 30 min and 52 degrees celcius after 1 hr under the above operation conditions. a) calculate its final steady state temperature rise on continuous load and the heating time constatnt. b) if the motor is operated on a short load for 9 min estimate its temperature rise. c) calculate the maximum overload that can be applied on a short, 9 min rating so that the temperature rise is the same as the final steady state temperature rise on continuous load.
