Why drop voltage in xlpe cable is more than PVC cable?
The voltage drop in a wire has nothing to do with the insulation. Voltage drop has to do with the cross sectional area of the wire.
What gage wire do you use for 15 amps 200 feet?
This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question a voltage has to be stated. The higher the voltage to the circuit becomes the smaller the wire size needed. After a certain voltage point the wire size will remain constant and the voltage drop at the load will become smaller.
What size wire is needed for carrying 100 amps under ground?
To calculate the wire size, a system voltage is needed.
Wire size for an electric range?
Wire size is based of the amperage of the device. To answer this question the amperage is needed or the wattage and voltage of the device.
What size wire for 220 air conditioner heater?
Without the amperage the device uses this question can not be answered. The size of wire depends upon the amount of amperage a device draws. The voltage is independent of the size of the wire, it is an insulation factor. Most commonly used wire is rated at 300 volts.
What size of cable wire used for 500 kva transformer 240 volt 3 phase?
A 10 mm cable is most commonly used for a 500 KVA transformer, 240 volt, 3 phrase. The size of the wire that is used in a transformer is based on the voltage.
What would the cable size be for a 90 meter armoured cable with a 110 amp supply with a 330 amp start up?
To calculate voltage drop to size the wire, a voltage must be stated.
How many wires are used to wire a standard dryer?
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.
Is it okay to use thicker cable to avoid voltage drop?
It is mandatory to use a larger wire size to overcome voltage drop at the load.
Why drop voltage in xlpe cable is more than PVC cable?
The voltage drop in a wire has nothing to do with the insulation. Voltage drop has to do with the cross sectional area of the wire.
What is the specific voltage drop in a 95MM three core armoured cable?
Need to know the wire size of the core conductors.
What will be the recommended size cable size for 400 KVA transformer?
3r x 300sq.mm Al. ar UG cable <<>> Wiring is sized by the amperage that is used by the load. The formula for amps is I = W/E. Amps = Watts (or VA)/Volts. As you can see an answer can not be given unless a voltage is stated. The lower the primary voltage the larger the amperage will be and likewise the larger the wire size will be.
What is the wire size for 208 volt?
As with any electrical installation, the wire size used depends on the expected maximum current the wire will carry. That cannot be determined by voltage alone.
How do you calculate the voltage drop for 238 KW 3 phase 415 V and length of circuit is 20 meters?
You need also to know the resistance of the cable. First you establish what the current of the load is. Then from that you calculate the wire size. From a wire size chart you find the wire resistance. Then use the formula I (squared) x R.
What size cable is needed for 7.2KW oven?
To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. Wire sizing is based on amperage that the wire can safely conduct. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
What is the cable size for 90 kw motor?
Depends upon the voltage. The formula for amperage or (wire size) is Watts / Voltage. If the voltage is 220 volts, then the amperage would be over 400 amps. This would require a large wire size to run it. If it were 440 volts, the amperage would be 1/2 or 200 amps. That would require a smaller wire size. As the voltage goes up, the amperage goes down. At a thousand volts, the amperage would only be 90 amps. A wire gauge or size of a #2 would carry 90 amps for small distances.
What is the cable size for a 168 kilowatt 3 phase motor?
First of all find out what voltage the motor is designed to work on.
