Hi please can someone assist me in confirming the correct size for sub board. ( ie ) i have 4 motors rated at 18.5kw feeding each motor individual 16mm swa distance 50mtrs . From supply to d/b 50mm swa 100mtrs protected by 200a if full load was to be used. any thoughts appreciated
Does anyone know or where to find the calculation you do to find a fault/break in a circuit that can't be physically traced.I'm sure i've seen it somewhere in one of my books but can't remember.
Cheers
I am becoming increasingly frustrated at the survey handcuffs we all have to wear regarding performance figures. While I can see the benefit of maintaining an industry standard for evaluating system performance, I find it a little baffling that we use such a vague and general standard such as...
Guys
This might help you!!!! if the file attaches with the formulas!!!!
Just enter the Isc and Voc and it will calculate the final Isc at the correct radiance.
Let me know if it works.
The file won't attach for some reason ( bl---dy computers.
I will send it via your email If you PM me with...

VOLTAGE DROP CALCULATION FORMAT
hi my friends,
is anybody have voltage drop calculation format?
AND THERE BEEN SOME CHANGING OF OPINIONS AND ADVICES AS FOLLOW
1ST REPLY
Shabu there's a few ways of calculating volt drop, the vast majority provide you with an "average" assuming the load is...
This is a 2391 question
DURING THE COURSE OF AN INSPECTION ONE OF THE SINGLE PHASE RADIALS supplying an item of fixed equipment is to be checked for volt drop.
45A full load, 80m length, 10mm singles,70 degree thermo singles, steel conduit, mohms/m at 20 degrees=1.83(p166 OSG)...
Just need convincing that I am still doing it right!
So,
16mm SWA, 50M run, 12Kw load 3P/N supply. (17.3A per phase)
16mm R1 + R2 = 1.15mOhms/Meter = 100x1.15/1000 = 0.115
ZS = 0.21 + 0.115 = 0.325
230/0.325 = 707A (fault current)
√ 707 x 707 x 0.1

i am doing 2330 and we have been given some calcs to do but the handouts they give are pretty poor

How do I work out the following question; When measuring the insulation resistance between live conductors of five existing circuits in the installation the following results were obtained.
185Mohms, 150Mohms, 20Mohms, 200Mohms, 2.5Mohms
State
a)the value of the installation resistance if these...

As above really, just want to double check something.
10.5kW shower, 20m run, under floorboards in insulation, 10mm t&e.
Ib=10500/230 = 45A
As most of the run is in insulation, Ci factor is 0.5, so It must be greater than Ib/0.5
So basically I need a cable with 90A capacity under ref...
Hi
Sorry if I’ve posted this in the wrong area.
Do the tabulated values for the current carrying capacity of conductors in bs7671 include the 1.45 rule of thumb?
I.e. a 32amp type B should trip within an 1hr at 1.45x it’s In (46.4amps)
So do I look for a cable that can take 46.4amps, even if...
