    one which didn't mention in the video was the ( cable construction ) 4 things to know;
    (a)copper // aluminum (b) conductor type (solid // stranded) (c) conductor surface coating (d)insulation type e.g p.v.c , XLPE.

      What wire size I should used from pot head to meter to breaker?

    • @ElectricalInstallationEEE
      @ElectricalInstallationEEE  3 года назад +3

      Depending on the load u carrying
      10mm -40/50amp
      16mm- 40/50/70amp
      25mm-50/70/100amp
      35mm -70/100amp

    So for all the veiwers those who might be wondering how is this worked out, its pretty simple: eg. A supply of 415V to supply a supermarket.
    Voltage drop MUST not exceed 2.5 % of our 415V therefore, its 2.5% of 415V
    2.5÷100×415
    =10.375V so this is the Maximum Voltage that is allowed to be lost due to due to distance etc.
    We can now easily say 415v - 10.375
    = 404.625v
    So 404.6 V is the acceptable voltage drop for this Supermatket💯🙏🙏 Blessings.

    Also the length of the conductors, the volt drop of the conductor, and the temperature in the location where the cable will be installed. Consideration of the prospective short circuit current of the circuit is important in order to select the correct type of breaker, which well handle such fault current without being damaged.

  • @randybraham4282
    @randybraham4282 3 года назад +2

    Love your videos bro awesome,💯👏👏 There are a few main factors that must be considered when selecting a cable for an installation/ load these includes but not limited to. (MPVD) Maximum Permissible Voltage Drop MUST not exceed 2.5% of the total voltage being supplied, The conductor Must be able to carry the maximum load current, the distance / length the cable will run from service main to load, and Installation condition this takes into consideration electrical and mechanical protection of the conductors weather it be underground, trunking, tray or conduits etc.... i hope i was of some help 🙏🙏👌 💯

    Hi Sir, thanks for the videos. I thought electrical supply at homes and at offices comes at 240v maximum from split 120v/120v, but now you said you can install cables for a 400v power supply

    Y pree mundo.. i overheard someone complaining that a 110v socket outlet in their office keeps burning so they changed the outlet to a new 1 and after like 2 months it burned again so they changed the breaker that supply it and it burned again within a month. What is causing this?

  • @1kengnation969
    @1kengnation969 3 года назад +1

    Wouldn't you advise that we use a cable larger than the breaker size, so that the breaker chip before the cable burn?

    • @ElectricalInstallationEEE
      @ElectricalInstallationEEE  3 года назад +1

      Yea we use larger cable than the breaker size at times which are better than the other way around which is undersize wire to a bigger breaker
