how to determine the size of power cable according to load current

Answer Posted / sudhakar g

First we have to calculate the load details
Ex: for 100 kw load

I=(kw*1000)/(p.f* 415v*1.732)
=173A

For cable manfacutrer they give the list of for these amp
how much cable we have to lay

If u want to calculate means u have to consider
1) derating factor
2) temprature coffiecent factor
3) kfactor

generally in LT and MV motors we are using 3.5Coresx16,25,35,50 etc cable for supply.although motors is earthed at two point and having all protection.then why we are using that 1/2 core for earthing the motors.while in HT cable we are using only 3core cable for motor supply.generally lt and mv motors are delta connected and ht motors having star connection.whethere it is having any relation with winding connection( star or delta).all motors i am talking about are dol only.can anybody solve my confusion.thanks...
