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.
To answer this question a voltage is needed.
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
you need the current of motor or the KW/HP rating
For a 180-meter distance with a 160 ampere current in a three-phase supply, you would typically use a larger cable size to minimize voltage drop and ensure safety. A common choice would be a 35 mm² or 50 mm² copper cable, depending on the acceptable voltage drop and specific installation conditions. It's essential to consult local electrical codes and standards to confirm the appropriate size based on factors like insulation type and installation method. Always consider factors such as ambient temperature and grouping of cables as well.
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.
Sir, what is the cable size for 1.5kw 3phase induction motor 400v?
70mm 4core copper cable
To answer this question a voltage is needed.
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
For a cooker oven with a maximum of 2600 watts, a 2.5mm cable is recommended to handle the load safely. This size of cable is commonly used for appliances with this power rating and will ensure that the electrical supply is properly distributed without overheating the cable. Be sure to consult a qualified electrician for installation to ensure safety and compliance with wiring regulations.
1 guage would be about size of battery cable
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.
you need the current of motor or the KW/HP rating
To answer this question a voltage must be stated.
Question is not clear..what size of cable you get 7 runs and Are you using a software or manual calculations. for 800A you need approx. 3cables of 240mm2 for each phase. That will depend also on distance of load and allowed Voltage drop. JH
Cable for 19 amps continuous should have a cross-section area of 6 mm2.
For a 3 phase 440 amps system, you would typically use aluminum cable with a minimum size of 400mm² (about AWG 500 kcmil) to ensure proper current-carrying capacity and voltage drop considerations. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician or engineer to determine the exact size needed based on specific installation requirements and code regulations.
