can any one tell me the formula to select the thickness of
wire selection according to ampere rating

Answer Posted / mahesh babu calicut

A log book is available for ch6osing cables at different conditions for different load currents.any how we have to consider voltage drop also in the case of long distance cables(maximtm allowable v.d from mdb to final destination is 5%) if it exceed the limit choose the next higher size. (voltage drop/amps/km for all size of cables available in log book
