It depends on the power rating of the circuit but a common size would be 95 sq. mm up to about twice that. 11 kV systems are usually 3-phase 3-wire. Underground cables use copper while overhead ones tend to use uninsulated aluminium or aluminium conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) cables.

Formula for working out cable size?

There is actually no specific formula used to work out cable size. In order to determine the type of cable you need and the size you need, you need to know the source of the supply, the voltage of the system, the ambient temperature, and the method you plan on laying out the cable.


Why earth cable used along with the 11kV power cable?

If you are referring to an 11-kV underground cable, these are normally armoured and, in the case of older cables, have a lead sheath to prevent moisture ingress into the cable. The lead sheath and metal armour are earthed to ensure that, in the event of mechanical damage to the cable, there is a low-resistance path back to the source to sufficient earth-fault current flows in order to operate the circuit's protective system. Overhead lines do not normally have a separate earth conductor.


How calculate the cable size when give current?

The NEC has a table that shows what size cable to use with each amperage and where it can be used.


What is the purpose of cable puller?

The purpose of a cable puller is to allow a system of wires to pull a heavier load. A cable puller will then be used to feed the cable through on this system.

How do you test the 11KV HT cables?

The test equipment used to test high voltage cables is a hi-pot test where a high DC voltage is a applied to the cable. This voltage can be from 150% to 200% of the working voltage of the cable.See related links below.

What is cable size in mm2 required for 450 amps?

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.
