    For the voltage drop calculation you should take load current which is actually drawn by the motor! Not the value used to rate your cable! Right?

    • @electricallectures
      @electricallectures  10 месяцев назад +4

      Always find the values based on rated load as it keeps u safe

    Sir, sorry I have a question.
    What is the no of runs in cable sizing.
    Example:
    5R/3.5C/240sqm/XLPE
    1R/3.5C/240sqm/XLPE
    thank you Sir

    • @electricallectures
      @electricallectures  3 месяца назад

      I don't understand exactly. If you mean to say 5R is 5 circuits of 3 core cables. What exactly you want to know. Do u want to ask about grouping factor?

      Yes, I still confuse run cable example 5R, 3,R, 1R.

      This can be found in IEEE wiring regulations. If you have any specific observation regarding calculations you can ask

  • @taimur649
    @taimur649 Год назад +2

    Didnt really understand that how at the beginning of calculations and without knowing the cable size, we can assume going for 2 multicore cables (after which we obtain 388A load current)

    • @electricallectures
      @electricallectures  Год назад

      This is just supposition in order to calculate group factor. But if you keep foing calculation , you get a rough idea that how many per phase cables are needed to take the load. But proper way is to start by ond cable

  • @abhijithmurali9463

      The NEC (National Electrical Code) manual. I can look up the page numbers if you need em. The NEC is like 900 pages, but there are probably 20 pages you actually need to size any wire.

  • @salmananwar8370
    @salmananwar8370 4 месяца назад

    suppose m selecting breaker for 150kw so thats 270 amps and multiply by 1.25 is 337 breaker available size is 400 amps if we select xlpe running on perforated cable tray is 185 sqmm 3.5 core then how did u select 2c 95 sqmm please correct your calculation. if i consider 0.9 derating factor 337 x 0.9 thats 303 amps so while running current is 270 amps and cable could bear after derat 300 amps, dont spread wronmg calculation.

    • @electricallectures
      @electricallectures  4 месяца назад

      I just give an example to show effect of grouping factor. For that , I have to use 2 multi core or single core circuits per phase so that grouping factor applies. If I run single cable, viewers will not understand grouping factor. And by the way not all cables are selected according to the breakers

    What if the insulation is TRS?

    • @electricallectures
      @electricallectures  10 месяцев назад

      Then another very critical factor also applies which is enclosed in thermally insulated material. In that case the factor is o.5 if the total run of cable on TRS is 300mm
