Can someone tell me how to calculate the size of a power
cable? What are the factors involved in cable sizing?
Answer Posted / sr
The factors involved in cable sizing are:
1. Voltage grade
2. Various Derating factors depending on cable laying
(direct in ground), ambient temperature considered, group
factors (all these data are available in cable catalogue)
3. Length of cable laying for calculating voltage drop.
Voltage drop shall generally be within a max. of 3%.

This is reqd for a 1MW Solar power plant..We have 2DC outputs from the solar panels Connected to 2INVERTOR panels.. Output from invertor is 3ph,280v,500kva,50hz.These are connected to individual ACB.This has to be stepped up to 11KV ,1250KVA SYSTEM.Now can I use (1) one more ACBTO GIVE A COMBINED OUTPUT OF 1000KVA,280V & STEP UP THE OUTPUT BY USING a single two winding 3 ph transformer 11kv/1250kva. or (2)use the two outputs and connect to one three winding transformer of above rating..Pls suggestwith details.
