How do I calculate motor cable size?
The cable size is equal to the 1.5 times of the full load current of the motor/load. Hence the cable rating formula can be written as, Cable size = 1.5 x Full Load Current.
What is the cable size for 90 KW motor?
kW to Cable Size Chart:
| KW to cable size chart (Sqmm) with Amps | ||
|---|---|---|
| kW | Amps | Cable Size (Cu) |
| 90 | 156.52 | 95 |
| 110 | 191.30 | 120 |
| 132 | 229.56 | 120 |
How do you read cable size?
An electrical cable is classified by two numbers separated by a hyphen, such as 14-2. The first number denotes the conductor’s gauge; the second denotes the number of conductors inside the cable. For instance, 14-2 has two 14-gauge conductors: a hot and a neutral.

How do I determine what size cable I need for load?
Selection of Cable
- Cable derating amp should be higher than full load current of load.
- Cable voltage drop should be less than defined voltage drop.
- No. of cable runs ≥ (Full load current / Cable derating current).
- Cable short circuit capacity should be higher than system short circuit capacity at that point.

How do I calculate wire size?
Stranded wire gauges should be measured by calculating the equivalent cross sectional copper area. First, measure the bare diameter of a single strand and locate the circular mils value in the row that matches your measurement. Second, multiply the circular mils by the number of strands in the cable.
Which wire is best for 1.5 HP motor?
Find the correct wire size for your pump.
| Cross reference the distance from your pump to the electrical service entrance to determine the correct gauge. | ||
|---|---|---|
| Motor Rating | Copper Wire Size | |
| 1.5 HP | 3 Wire | 510 ft. |
| 1.5 HP | 3 Wire | 912 ft. |
| 1.5 HP | 2 Wire | 535 ft. |
What are the sizes of electrical cables?
The common sizes of cable are 1, 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6 and 10mm2 – the measurement represents the cross-sectional area of the individual cores. The current-carrying capacity of cable varies according to a number of installation design factors.
How big is a star Delta Cable run?
Hi, were upgrading a motor at work from 11kw to 18.5kw. The motor is currently connected star delta with 6x6mm cores going out to the motor. The cable run is 50m in ducting.
How many cables do you need for star delta starter?
For star delta stater,the motor connection must have 6 cables from control panel and 6 terminals at induction motor ( U1,U2,V1,V2,W1,W3).To wiring the motor connection for star delta starter,the important thing that we must fully understand is about the basic of STAR DELTA MAGIC TRIANGLE.
How to calculate fro star Delta Motor connection?
Please give the curve showing the current surge (current vs time) during change-over fro star to delta as well as the current vs time curve if the same motor is started in direct on line method, in the same graph sheet. Also please give korndorfer type connection(with transition resistors)-for no break to avoid current surge.
How to calculate star Delta Cable size for IET?
Now, if it was a star, 6000/230 = at least 27A per supply core single phase if it was an inverter drive with 100% efficiency. but we are considering a delta, so each supply live splits into 2 windings. So, per winding 6000/400 = 15A . Now actually on that length 2.5mm would likely be just about OK. 6mm gives plenty of grunt for start-ups.
