The first thing that has to be done is to determine what the amps or wattage of the connected load is. This can be done from the nameplate on the equipment or device to be connected. If only the wattage is found use the following formula Amps = Watts/Voltage. Once the current is known the cable size is determined from a table of, allowable ampacities of 3 copper conductors in a raceway, in the electrical code book that is used in your specific region.

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.
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 requirement of cable size for a given load?
If you know the size of the load to be served, multiply it by 125% ( times 1.25) and choose a conductor that is rated for that ampacity or higher.
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.
How do you calculate cable gland size?
4cx95mm aws which size of cable gland
How do you calculate the cable size for a 115kw 3 phase induction motor 16 meter run for cable 415v?
take the full load current 1.732*415*I*0.85*efficiency=115*1000 => I? Depending on the value of the full load current and designed and ambient temperatures of the selected category of the cables, and voltage drop per unit length, you can determine the cable size
How can you decide cable size for particular load?
refer to ANSI lor..
How calculate the cable size when give current?
The NEC has a table that shows what size cable to use with each amperage and where it can be used.
How to calculate the rating of the FUSE and Cable size. please tell the steps?
The calculations are worked backwards from the amps used by the load of the circuit. This will be used to select the correct size of the wire. Some stipulations are added depending of the ambient temperature, length from the supply or if the load is a motor. Fusing is then dependant on the wire size that is used.
What is the cable size required for a 400 amp and 350 amp load?
350mcm
How do you calculate a cable size for a certain load?
for DC load and if its copper wire the cross section of the conductor wire is generally calculated as 1/4 th of the current rating . Eg for a DC load of 16 amp the copper conductor with 4 mm square is selected.
How to calculate power loss in power cable?
The length of the cable is determined by the distance from the center of the distribution panel to the center of the load.
