POST LAB-1
OBJECT:
To understand the construction of power cables.

EQUIPMENT:
 American wire guage
 Micrometer screw guage
 A piece of wire

OBSERVATION:
n=no. of layers

N=No of strands=1+3n(n+1)

D= (1+2n)d where d=single strain dia

Area=π(D/2)2

CALCULATION:

FROM SCREW GUAGE:

D=10.4mm

Area = π(10.4/2)2

Area=84.94 mm2

FROM AMERICAN WIRE GUAGE:

n=2 , N=1+3n(n+1)=19

d=2.114mm

D=(1+2(2))(2.114)=10.57mm

Area=π(10.57/2)2

Area=87.74mm2
