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.

Could you Calculate cable size for 100 kw load?

To calculate the cable size for a 100 kW load, you would need to consider factors such as the voltage of the system, the type of cable insulation, the ambient temperature, and the installation method. The cable size is typically determined by the maximum current the cable will carry without overheating. Using the formula: Cable size (mm²) = (2 x L x I x R) / (√3 x V x cosΦ), where L is the cable length, I is the load current, R is the resistance of the cable, V is the voltage, and cosΦ is the power factor, you can calculate the appropriate cable size for the 100 kW load.

How do you calculate the cable size for a run of 30 meters?

to calculate the cable size of a run of 30 meters long you first will have to know the current of the appliance use the voltage drop formula V d = (mVxIxL)/1000 once the voltage drop is less than 2.5% of the nominal voltage, the cable should be upsize.


Low voltage cable size calculation formula?

1) determine load /design current. eg 13kw oven Ib=13000W/230V if 3 phase- 13000w/1.73*400V =56.52A In(circuit breaker size)=60A 2) In/ C1+C2+C3 (c is coefficient of ambience temperature of type of cable referred to BS tables) 3) value of above refer to BS tables for appropiate cale size. eg. based on 60A cable size is 16mm2 pvc/pvc cable size
