Basic calculation is:
no. of cores x cross-section of one core x 9,6 = copper weight in kg/km
e.g. copper weight for cable 4x2,5 = 4 x 2,5 x 9,6 = 96 kg/km
This is how cable manufacturers calculate the copper weight.
Pls notice that it's valid formula only for cables without screening/shielding. If you know cross-section of screening, you can add that to the formula.

Why using semiconductor protection for HT cable?
In a HT cable there are 2 layers of semiconductor one on the conductor and second on the XLPE insulation. As we know semiconductor behaves as conductor when temperature rises. So when the HT cable is on load its conductor temperature rises due to this the semicon layer which is on conductor behaves like conductor and as a result overall cross section area is increased. now the second semicon layer which is over XLPE on temp rise behaves as conductor and used for dessipating heat out of conductor as the cable heat due to load.

What is a bare cable?
Bare cable is simply a conductor without a coating, sheating, or covering. It is just bare wire.
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.
What is the cable size for 55kw motor on 3 phase?
Without knowing the nominal voltage rating, who can tell? <<>> The sizing of cables or conductors is based on the amperage that the conductor can safely carry. The formula for amperage is I = W/E. Amps = 12000/Volts. With out a voltage stated an answer to this question can not be answered. When you calculate the amperage, re-ask your question for a conductor size for a given amperage.
Older hard drives use what kind of conductor IDE conductor ribbon cable?
The correct answer is....80-conductor IDE ribbon cable.
What Are the Different Types of 2 core cable?
2 conductor round cable 2 conductor twisted cable
What are the two kinds of parallel ATA cables used with hard drives?
The 80-conductor cable and the 40-conductor cable.
Is a microwave cable a conductor?
yes
What are the faults in the cable?
Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' faults.
Which media types use copper as a conductor?
Coaxial cable, STP cable, UTP cable
How do you calculate the requirement of cable size for a given load?
If you know the size of the load to be served, multiply it by 125% ( times 1.25) and choose a conductor that is rated for that ampacity or higher.
What is alluminium conductor steel reinforced in electricity?
Aluminium conductor is reinforced by steel because it can give the strenght required to support the weight of the cable without streching the aluminium, which is very ductile. It gives a specific type of high-capacity and high-strenght cable, typically used in overhead power lines.

What are two types of parallel ATA data cables used with hard drives?
80 conductor IDE cable; 40 conductor IDE cable
What is the drive nearest motherboard when using an 80-conductor cable-select cable?
Master.
What is a conductor on a cable?
The metal which was used in the cable which was inside the insulator. Normally copper is used.
