how to calculate the current if i know power in MW and
voltage 11kv/415v and also want to know that incoming
cables for trnsformer

Answer Posted / cfanez

Girish,since the power is in MW,it means that we are looking
for current in consideration of power factor.If it were in
MVA,then the calculation given by Rajkumar is ideal.
5000kW=1.732*11*Ip*PF (assume pf =0.85)
5000=1.732*11*Ip*0.85
primary current Ip=308.7A
5000=1.732*.415*Is*0.85
Secondary currentIs=8,183.6A
Select cable capable from your table.If surface then
alluminum cable should be selected,if underground,suitable
hV cable should be selected to suit the primary and
secondary current carrying capacities respectively.

WE know that for Inductor X=2pifL,In DC f=0,then X=0 so,V=IX=0;But In the DC excitation of rotor of AC generator,DC motor field coil which coils are inductor so why does not applying DC voltage short the rotor coil of AC generator and field coil of motor?If it would then DC source might be damaged but it is not happened. Why does the strand conductor of Electrical power transmission line make twist?

Sir, My doubt on cable sizing calculation, Load:74 KW calculated cable 1 run 50mm2. Now client asking us to reduce cable size by increasing runs. Sir, My question now when my mind strikes with 2 options 1) Divide load 74/2 = 36 and calculate cable for 36+36 making it 2 runs or 2) Simply i can divide 50mm2 /2 ie. 2 runs of 25mm2 Please suggest me sir
