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.
Basic Telephony cable is manufactured with a built in capacitance of 0.084uF (microfarads) per mile on 22-24AWG (for example) wire. Basic cable length can be estimated with a voltmeter. Messuring the amount of voltage discharged when placing the wire to ground, discharging the stored voltage in the wire.
Voltage Grade of cables specifies the safe voltages which the insulation of the cable can withstand.
just apply the formula :-p=v*i*cos(angle);now you have the power rating,load so in turn power factor so you can easily calculate the value of current.with the help of current you can chose the cable available in the market either the aluminum or copper wiresatendra.svnit@gmail.com
To calculate the size of cable for a 1000kW generator, you need to consider the generator's voltage and the distance the cable will run. You will need to calculate the current the generator will draw at full load using the formula: Current (A) = Power (W) / (Voltage (V) x Power Factor). Once you have the current value, you can use it to determine the appropriate cable size based on the current carrying capacity of different cable types, factoring in voltage drop considerations for the distance the cable will run.
to calculate the cable size of a run of 30 meters long you first will have to know the current of the appliance use the voltage drop formula V d = (mVxIxL)/1000 once the voltage drop is less than 2.5% of the nominal voltage, the cable should be upsize.
To calculate voltage drop to size the wire, a voltage must be stated.
Cable size is determined by current. You did not provide the current, nor did you include the voltage so that we could calculate the current. Please restate the question, and include either the current or the voltage.
The voltage drop on a 1.5 mm cable run of 1.5 kilometers will depend on factors such as the current flowing through the cable, the material of the cable, and the temperature. Typically, to calculate voltage drop, you can use the formula: Voltage drop = (2 x current x length x resistance) / cross-sectional area.
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.
Ohm's Law - V = IR.

If the voltage is supplying any current through the cable, i.e. if there is any 'load' at the end, then the voltage will drop through the cable.
It will decrease the voltage drop.
The formula for a simple DC voltage drop across a cable is:VDrop = Vmeasured at the input of cable - Vmeasured at the output of cableThis formula may seem simplistic however keep in mind that the sensitivity, accuracy and resolution of measuring instrument instrument is what is really important.If you know the DC current flowing through the cable and the impedance of the cable then you can use Ohm's law. Vdrop = I R where Vdrop is the voltage drop across the cable in volts I is the current flowing through the cable in amperes R is the resistance of the cable in ohms.ADDITIONALCalculation of the voltage drop is given by the formula belowVoltage Drop (Volt) = [(mV/Am)/1000] * I * lWhere mV/Am = millivolt drop per meter per ampere of the cable(this information is given in the table based on IEE Wiring Regulation)I = Current in the cable (in Ampere)l = Distance of cable (in Metre)See related links below
