∙ 15y agoIt depends on the voltage and on whether it's single-phase or three-phase.
On the contrary, armouring is common on single-core conductors. Frequently, high-voltage underground cables are made up of three, individual, single-core, line conductors. These are most definitely armoured to protect them against penetration by the trench backfill and to protect workers who may accidentally hit them with tools.
A single-phase cable will have a line and a neutral conductor and, possibly, but not necessarily, an earth (ground) conductor. A high-voltage three-phase cable will have three line conductors. A low-voltage three-phase cable is likely to have three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
It's when there is a supply with a given voltage, and then a piece of equipment is fed through a long piece of cable so that the voltage supplied at the equpiment is somewhat less. The voltage drop is the amount of reduction caused by the resistance of the cable. Voltage drop should be less than 5% of the nominal voltage, e.g. 12 v for a 240 v system.
A wire size of 250 MCM will limit the voltage drop to 3% over a distance of 200 feet.
The cost of a three-phase cable can vary depending on factors such as length, gauge, and quality. On average, you can expect to pay around $1 to $5 per foot for a three-phase cable. However, prices can be higher for specialized cables or those with specific features.
In North America the voltage ratings of low voltage wire comes in three voltages. The voltages are 300, 600 and 1000 volt insulation ratings.

In North America you would use a three wire cable. A dryer needs two voltage supplies. A 240 voltage for the heating element and 120 volts for the motor and controls. The three wire cable will have a ground wire in it also but in North America this is not counted as it is not a current carrying conductor. The size of the cable will be a 3C #10.
There is voltage drop over any sysetm that does not have infinitely low resistance, but with reasonable cable size there would be very little drop over 200 metres. The number of phases makes little difference.
Yes, armored cable should typically be buried at a minimum depth of 24 inches to protect it from damage and meet electrical code requirements. However, check local building codes for specific depth requirements in your area.
It is a method of starting a three phase motor at a lower than operating voltage. The motor is operated at that voltage for a short specific time and then the controls switch to the motors full run operating voltage.
The size of cable required for a 5-ton AC unit with a three-phase power supply will depend on factors such as the distance between the AC unit and the power supply, the voltage level, and the specific installation requirements. It is recommended to consult a qualified electrician or electrical engineer to determine the appropriate cable size to ensure safe and efficient operation.
This is a voltage drop to establish wire size question. For a correct answer to this question two values are needed. One value needed is the voltage and the other is whether it is three phase or a single phase installation.
