4-core 630 mm-sq cable sounds like 4 cores each of 630 mm-sq as used on 400 kV power lines, in which case it carries 4 times the current.

What is current value after derating factor considered?

Once derating factor is considered the size of cable for perticular electrical load increased by the multipling factor.i,e if 2.5MM2 cable is capable to carry 14amp. of current in general then with 40% of derating fator it can carry only 8.4amp.


Why we go for bus bar riser system instead of cables?

It is done to carry more current at rated power & to reduce the power loss as compared to cable since a bus-bar has more area compared to cable so resistance is less & hence losses are reduced.

Why the cable size is expressed in Sqmm not in diameter regardless of single or stranded conductor?

The cross-sectional area is one of the factors that determines how much current a conductor can carry -this is regardless of the shape of that conductor's cross section (many conductors are not circular). So the diameter is of not much interest.


How much do submarine cables cost?

A. The cost of a submarine cable depends on its length, how many fibres it contains and the number of channels it is intended to carry. To give you an idea, a single transatlantic cable would cost around $500m ( £307,443,000). We can carry out feasibility studies and costings for any systems you may be considering.


What is difference between cable tray and cable trunks?

Cable tray is a system of wiring in a building in which insulated electrical wires are used to distribute power and communication to various access points. Cable trunks are power supply lines that are used to distribute power and communication services to large areas such as industrialized cities.
