We have a Diesel Generator(DG) Set of 110 kVA installed in
office-cum-residential campus. Soon we are going to replace the same
with a 250 kVA DG Set. The LT Cable to the residential feeder is of
size 3.5 C x 120 sq mm Al Conductor PVC Armoured at the DG panel end
but terminated to the residential panel as 3.5C x 95 sq mm (There is a
joint in-between) hence effectively, the cable size is 95 sq mm. A
spare HT Cable (3Cx120 sq mm PILCA) is available. Can it be put in
parallel to the existing cable. Measurements of current values on the
existing LT cable at different points of time were observed and it was
found that the maximum current reaches upto 200 A (per phase).
The load to be fed is single-phase load.
