formula for cable size calculation for current?
Answer Posted / engr.muhammad younas khan
SINGLE PHASE FORMULA FOR CABLE SIZING.
REQUIRED DATA:-
I :- AMPERES
L :- LENGTH OF CABLE.
K :- CONDUCTIVITY OF COPPER(58)
:- CONDUCTIVITY OF ALUMINUM (36)
Vd:- VOLTAGE DROP.
GIVEN DATA:
I:- 50 AMPERES.
L:- 100 METERS.
Vd:- 3% ACCEPTABLE OF 230 VOLTS
FORMULA:-
AREA (mm2)= 2*I*L/(K*Vd)
= 2*50*100/(58*6.9)
= 24.98 mm2
= ALMOST 25 mm2
FOR THREE PHASE:
AREA(mm2) = 1.732*50*100/(58*12)
= 12.44 mm2
= ALMOST 15 mm2
3% voltage drop of 400 volts =12 volts.
ABOVE EXPLAINED FOR IS PROPERLT CORRECT.USE AND ENJOY.

i have a 4 Mva transformer 34.5 kv / 480-277 v and i used 2 parallel 3200 amp bus duct for the secondary feeder using 3 ply of bus bar ( 3/8" x 5" ) as a common where the flexible link terminated and 6300 amps breaker for the main, the lower bus duct reaches 70 degrees and the upper bus duct reaches 55 degrees when i used thermal scanner. why the temperature is not balance when the load reaches 3600 amps.
