What size conductor is needed to carry 25 amps 120 volt AC over 400 feet?

A #4 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 25 amps for 400 feet on a 120 volt system.


What is the cable size for 90 kw motor?

Depends upon the voltage. The formula for amperage or (wire size) is Watts / Voltage. If the voltage is 220 volts, then the amperage would be over 400 amps. This would require a large wire size to run it. If it were 440 volts, the amperage would be 1/2 or 200 amps. That would require a smaller wire size. As the voltage goes up, the amperage goes down. At a thousand volts, the amperage would only be 90 amps. A wire gauge or size of a #2 would carry 90 amps for small distances.


Cable size for 100kw 3phase with 175meter length?

2.5 mm twin and earth should do the trick. A 100 kw @ 400 V, 50 Hz,3 Phase at a power factor approximately 0.8 will draw a current ( 100x1000/root 3x400x0.8 )=180.42 A. Breaker rating to be 200A TP MCCB and cable size to be minimum 4 Core 120 mm2 .


What cable size is needed for 415VAC 3 Phase 400kVA generator to a load 50meters away?

As example, at 380V the generator produces 685A per phase. Therefore you will require 2 x 120mm2 cables per phase. (1 x 120mm2 cable will support 365A per phase). In total you will require approximately 1/2km of cable to cover the 50m run between the generator and the ATS panel/Load. i.e. 5 phases in total - 2 x 50m cables per phase.


How many amps is 400 kcmil good for?

The ampacity of a 400 kcmil (thousand circular mils) conductor depends on factors such as the conductor material (copper or aluminum), insulation type, and installation conditions. For example, a 400 kcmil copper conductor can typically carry around 400 to 600 amps at standard temperature ratings in open air or conduit, while an aluminum conductor of the same size may carry slightly less. Always refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for precise applications and ampacity tables.

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 much current does 300 sq mm cable carry?

A 228 sq mm conductor equates to 450 MCM. A conductor of 450 MCM is not a standard AWG wire size. A standard 400 MCM will carry 380 amps. A standard 500 MCM will carry 430 amps. Difference between 400 and 500 MCM amperage's is 50 amps. Transposing between the two amperage's of 50 amps will be 380 + 25 = 405 or 430 - 25 = 405 amps. This is a very rough calculated answer for the question.

What will be the recommended size cable size for 400 KVA transformer?

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.


Does a 4corex630 sq mm cable carry the same current as a single core 630 sq mm cable?

4-core 630 mm-sq cable sounds like 4 cores each of 630 mm-sq as used on 400 kV power lines, in which case it carries 4 times the current.


What is the cable size for 3.7 kw 3 phase motor?

It depends on more than Wattage or horsepower. In your question, you also need to mention line Voltage, power factor, and whether single or three-phase. Cable size is based on current, so we need to know everything to calculate current.
