8 AWG.
To determine the cable size in mm2 required for 450 amps, you need to consider the current-carrying capacity of the cable. The exact size will depend on the type of cable and the installation conditions. For 450 amps, heavy-duty cables with a size of around 240 mm2 or larger would typically be used to ensure safe and efficient operation.
The calculations are worked backwards from the amps used by the load of the circuit. This will be used to select the correct size of the wire. Some stipulations are added depending of the ambient temperature, length from the supply or if the load is a motor. Fusing is then dependant on the wire size that is used.
Wire sizes and ampacity are regulated by code. # 14 wire 15 amps, #12 wire 20 amps, #10 wire 30 amps, #8 wire 40 amps, #6 wire 60 amps. These are the most common, a slight variation in amperage depending on the insulation factor.
3r x 300sq.mm Al. ar UG cable <<>> Wiring is sized by the amperage that is used by the load. The formula for amps is I = W/E. Amps = Watts (or VA)/Volts. As you can see an answer can not be given unless a voltage is stated. The lower the primary voltage the larger the amperage will be and likewise the larger the wire size will be.
For a standard clothes dryer, new homes are roughed in with 3C #10 cable which is rated at 30 amps.
The cable size for 700 amps depends on several factors, including the type of cable (copper or aluminum), the installation method, and the permissible voltage drop. Generally, for copper conductors, a cable size of around 2/0 AWG to 3/0 AWG is commonly used, while for aluminum conductors, sizes may range from 250 kcmil to 300 kcmil. It's essential to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or a local electrician for precise requirements based on specific conditions.
Just try different sizes until you find the correct size.
as long as the cranking amps are the correct stye it will tell the cranking amps on the battery check your owners manual for the cranking amps for your van or call an auto parts store and ask them what size you need.
Depends on the type of cable, the method of fixing the cable, the ambient temperature and the way the cable has been run to the motor (i.e in trunking, Conduit) Bascially a cable with a current carry capasity of 2 amps should be fine (1.45 amps with power factor of unity and no de-rating factors). Remember 1mm cable can carry at least 8 amps. Also please improve your English when asking stupid questions!!
The wire size typically used for a 60 amp low voltage cable is AWG 6 or AWG 8 depending on the specific application and voltage requirements. It's important to consult the manufacturer's specifications for the appropriate wire size for your particular setup.
The first thing that has to be done is to determine what the amps or wattage of the connected load is. This can be done from the nameplate on the equipment or device to be connected. If only the wattage is found use the following formula Amps = Watts/Voltage. Once the current is known the cable size is determined from a table of, allowable ampacities of 3 copper conductors in a raceway, in the electrical code book that is used in your specific region.
When sizing wire, the highest amperage that the circuit may carry has to be used. In this case 80 amps will be the highest current to be applied. A #4 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 85 amps.
