The length of the cable is determined by the distance from the center of the distribution panel to the center of the load.

Why we go for bus bar riser system instead of cables?

It is done to carry more current at rated power & to reduce the power loss as compared to cable since a bus-bar has more area compared to cable so resistance is less & hence losses are reduced.

Is inductive reactance considered when calculating power loss in AC cables?

No, because it is not loss - inductance by definition will cause reactive power which can be compensated for using capacitor banks (one example). I^2 * R losses (power loss through the cable) takes into account the resistance of the line.


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.


Why Bend loss in SMF not in MMF?

There should always be some type of bending loss in a fiber optic cable, whether it's a SMF or MMF cable. The reason for a bend loss being higher in SMF than MMF is that the core diameter of a SMF fiber can be significantly smaller than the core diameter of a MMF fiber, thus more of the light traveling down the SMF cable will hit the cladding at angles above the TIR angle, and more power will be lost.


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.

Is it possible to run 2500 feet of underground cable from one 200A breaker box to another 200A breaker box without a power loss?

It's possible to run 2500 feet of underground cable between two 200A breaker boxes, but there may be some power loss due to the resistance of the cable over that distance. To minimize power loss, it's important to use a cable with appropriate gauge size for the distance and amperage needed. Consulting with a qualified electrician to determine the best cable type and gauge for your specific situation is recommended.


What is the max cable length for lmr 400?

There isn't really a limit for cable length. The maximum length is determined by the loss you can afford to lose based on path loss, antenna gain, receiver sensitivity and transmitter power.


In which power loss will be more in110ac220ac?

Power loss within the same cable will be higher at 110 volts than at 220 volts. For that reason, cables for use in 110 volt countries are thicker, so that loss is comparable in each system.

What are the different power system losses and how can it be eliminated?

The major power-system loss is probably the loss in the resistance of power cables, both overhead and underground. The power loss can be reduced by using a thicker wire, at a greater cost for purchase of the wire. Obviously there is an optimum, minimum-cost size for the cable. A theory for deciding it is called Kelvin's Law. Overhead cable usually have a cross-section area of 150-400 mm-squared.


What is the recommended length for a security camera power cable to ensure optimal performance and reliability?

The recommended length for a security camera power cable to ensure optimal performance and reliability is typically around 100 feet. Using a cable longer than this may result in power loss and potential issues with the camera's functionality.
