Could you Calculate cable size for 100 kw load?

Yes I could. How?


If the 60 volts and the resistance of the load is 10 ohms the current is how many amperes?

6 amperes


How do you calculate 3 phase kWh to amps when 8000 kWh monthly average is used?

It depends on the voltage. Please restate the question and provide the voltage. In general, however, simply divide total power by KV to get KA. Remember the KWH is an integral, so you need to back calculate KW. If the month is a 30 day month, then KW is KWH / 30 / 1440. Then, if the load is star, simply divide by three; if the load is delta, divide by three and multiply by 1.732, the square root of 3. Example: 480 three phase running star. 8000 / 30 / 1440 is 185 amperes. 185 divided by 3 is 62 amperes per phase. For delta, that becomes 107 amperes.


How can you define power dissipation in a resistor in series or parallel circuit?

Power dissipation in a resistor, or any other type of load, for that matter, is measured in watts and calculated as volts times amperes. It does not matter if the resistor is in a series or a parallel circuit, so long as the volts and amperes in the calculation is for that one resistor. Obviously, volts and amperes is distributed amongst the components of a circuit, and series vs parallel can have a significant affect on that distribution, so you will need to calculate or measure them on a case by case basis.


How do you calculate working load limit?

There are several ways to calculate working load limit. One of these includes Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) divided by Working Load Limit (WLL) equals Working Load Limit (WLL).

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.


What is a load cable?

Load cable generally means the final cable before the actual load. So on a clothes dryer the "Load Cable" would be the cable running from the outlet to the actual clothes dryer.

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.


What is the formula to calculate load voltage?

Power requirements are measured in KVA, which stands for Kilo-Volt-Amperes. To calculate the amount of power you require you would use the following formula. KVA = Volts * Amps / 1000


What are examples of amperes?

1 amp, 5 amp depends on the load


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.


Formula for 7.5va convert into Amperes load comsumption?

To convert 7.5 VA to amperes, you can use the formula: Amperes = VA / Volts. For example, if the voltage is 120V (typical for household circuits), then 7.5 VA / 120V = 0.0625 amperes.
