What thickness cable require for 415 volt?
Voltage determines a cable's insulation thickness, not its conductor thickness (or, more accurately, its cross-sectional area). It's current that determines the csa of a conductor, not voltage.
Why drop voltage in xlpe cable is more than PVC cable?
The voltage drop in a wire has nothing to do with the insulation. Voltage drop has to do with the cross sectional area of the wire.
How much current can 5kv cable carry?
It depends on its cross-sectional area, its construction, and how it is laid.
For 100kw which cable size is good and how to find out cable size?
100 kw is the power drawn by the load. to calculate the cable size you need to know the voltage. From that you can calculate the current. this decides the cable size. for example if the voltage is 400Volts then the current flowing in the circuit when the load is 100 KW will be 250 amps. (100,000/400). for 250 amps to flow with out causing excessive heating of the cable the cross sectional area of the copper cable should be 150 sq mm.for a round cross section the diameter will be roughly 15mm.
How do you selecte cable for load?
if your load draws a max of 15 amps then you would use 14-16 gauge wire. the lower the gauge the more current that is allowed to pass. there are charts that show max current for diameter of wire
How do you get cross sectional area of a vertical cable?
You can measure its diameter with a micrometer. For this the cable does not have to be vertical.
How do you calculate the cross sectional area of cable?
Simply work out the area of a section of cable.........
How to Convert electrical cable size to cable diameter?
Conversion of cable diameter to circle cross-sectional area and vice versa. Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion of cable diameter to circle cross-sectional area".
What is the resistance value?
Electrical resistance is measure in Ohms. A function of voltage divided by current. It is also dependant on the length and cross sectional area of the conductor.
What is the formula for resistivity?
Resistance (Ohms) = Voltage (v) / Current (I)
What is the value of resistivity?
Electrical resistance is measure in Ohms. A function of voltage divided by current. It is also dependant on the length and cross sectional area of the conductor.
How can voltage drop in radial distribution be minimized?
Voltage drop can be minimized in a radial distribution by increasing the cross-sectional area of the conductors.
