how we can calculate cable size of 230v,1 hp single phase
motor ? panel to motor distance is 25 meter

Answer Posted / vipin

kamal is right ,after deciding the load current you ll have to consider the starting condition....
as per the IEEE regulations you ll have to consider 3 to 4 times the rated current as the starting current...as the rated current is coming around 6 amperes you can select a CB of 20A DP or SP. A 4sqmm cable will be std for the 1 hp pump.. you will have to verify with your supply company rules for the size of cable to be used for the designed value of circuit breaker.

Hello everyone, somebody knows what is a "surplice power" ? The hole phrase is: "This rating is appropriate for a generator set paralleled with an infinite bus e.g. a national electrical supply network or grid where the generator set is run at 100% load, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and any surplice power is exported into the grid" Thanks in advance.
