HOW COULD I CALCULATE THE VOLTAGE DROP OF 400 AMP,3PH 230V WITH A DISTANCE OF 250 LINEAR METER FROM MAIN DISTRIBUTION BOARD.
Hello Guest,
Is this a class or homework question?
Please reply with
Kind Regards....
Dear
VD % = 1.73*full load current I *( R cos Φ + X sin Φ ) *100*cable length / nominal voltage V

Aiman
VD % = [ 0.2* load current (amps) *cable length(m) *nominal voltage (Volts)] /
full capacity rated currentcable (amps) volts. : for 1 cable and 3ph 4w
balance Loasd, But on single phase or dc must be double or *2,and*1.7
for 3ph 3W
or
VD % = Load current (amps) * (cable spacific resistivity/m) * cable length(m)
remark1: cable rated current, cable specific resistance and volatage drop formular
can see factory book table! or cable catalog.
remark2: cable rated current (amps) comment from current which apply on cable at
100m length until apear voltage drop 2% of naminal voltage (Line-nuetral
or ground voltage (0 volt))
remark3: cable rated current (anps) or current duration can be comment from cable
temperature rise 5 c-degree from 25 c-degree on free air or not more 40
c-degree in conduit or wire way (close cable trend)
remark4 cable rated current (anps) or current duration can be comment from cable
temperature at 25 watt / Kg for enamale insulated wire for coil or electric
machine such as motor, gennerator and transformer
All concludsion: are the same result but different spacific comment reson.
