Best Answer

A parallel run of 750 MCM AWG conductors will handle 1000 amps.

if we want 1000amps to flow, 250sqmm cable is enough.

What cable wire size for 1000 watts aircondition?

The only way to determine the cable wire size needed for a 1000 watt air conditioner is to find the load size. To get the load size you will need to use the formula Amps = Watts or Volts. With that being said, you will need a number 14 copper wire.

What is the cu cable size in 400a load?

A 0.15Cu cable has a rating of 382 amps summer and 476 amps winter. 0.2Cu allows 425/530 amps. That is for outdoor use in overhead lines.

What would be the size of Cable for a 40 kw 3 phase oven?

It is not possible to answer the question without knowing the supply voltage. Conductors (wires) are sized according to current (amps), not KW. Amps = watts / volts As you can see, there is no way to determine amps (needed to size the wire), without knowing both the KW and the voltage. If this is on a test, it is a trick question. If you are really trying to size a cable for a real stove, hire a licensed electrician! Improperly sized wire can start a fire.


What size wire is needed for carrying 100 amps under ground?

To calculate the wire size, a system voltage is needed.


What is power cable size 10kW 3 phase motor with 415V?

The formula for amps when kilowatts are stated is; kW x 1000/1.73 x Volts x pf. 10 x 1000/1.73 x 415 x .8 = 10000/574 = 17 amps. The electrical code states that motor feeders have to be rated at 125% of the motors FLA (full load amps). 17 x 125% = 21 amps. A #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 30 amps.


What size of wire for 10000 watts?

Cable sizing is based on load amperage. The formula you need to use is Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = 1000/220 = 4.55 amps. A #14 copper wire with a insulation factor of 60, 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 15, 15 and 15 amps respectively.


What size cable is needed for 7.2KW oven?

To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. Wire sizing is based on amperage that the wire can safely conduct. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.


What is the type and size of cable gland or 2 core cable?

To answer this question the size of the cable or the amperage of the load is needed to calculate the correct wire size and connectors to fit the cable.
