Cable Sizing Guidelines for Loads

This document provides information for sizing cables based on load, power, voltage, and efficiency. It includes formulas for calculating single and three phase loads. Tables show example calculations for 0.8 power factor loads of 1KW at 230V and 10KW at 440V, determining the required current and accounting for voltage drop. The corresponding aluminum and copper cable sizes are listed as 4.67Sqmm and 2.8Sqmm for the smaller load, and 14.67Sqmm and 8.8Sqmm for the larger load.
