How to calculate the current carrying capacity of
electrical cables

Answer Posted / lokesh.thota

There is no need to calculate ampacity of the cable it would
be provided by the manufacturer its self or else if you want
to calculate it by your self you should also know its
specific resistivity,working temp,core dia & insulation
thickness.

1. The DC generaror,s induced output emf is connected with a DC motor(as load). when increasing the load of the motor by using brake drum or any way. what are the parameters will changes in both motor and generator(voltage, current, resistance, frequency, speed, torque, power, flux etc...) 2. Similarly for AC generator and AC motor 3. similarly if using DC batteries instead of DC generator, What happens?
