Conductor size calculations
The size cable used for installation depends upon:
● the current rating the cable under defined installation conditions
and
● the maximum permitted drop voltage defined Regulation
525. The volt drop for a
particular cable may found from:
VD
Factor Design current Length run
The factor given the tables Appendix the IEE Regulations and
Appendix the Site Guide. Surrounding temperature: cable resistance increases temperature
increases and insulation may melt the temperature too high. They are also given Table 14.
The factors which influence the current rating are:
1.3. Type cable: PVC, MICC, copper conductors aluminium
conductors. Where two cooking appliances
are installed one room, such split-level cookers, one switch may be
used control both appliances provided that neither appliance more
than from the switch (On Site Guide, Appendix 8). Installed conditions: clipped surface installed with other
cables trunking.
A cooking appliance must controlled switch separate from the
cooker but readily accessible position.
3. That maximum 6.17A cable. Type protection: for how long will the cable have carry fault
current?
Regulation 525 states that the drop voltage from the supply terminals to
the fixed current-using equipment must not exceed for lighting circuits
and for other uses the mains voltage. Design current: cable must carry the full load current.
