Wire Sizing کا حساب کیسے لگائیں
Wire Sizing کیا ہے؟
Wire sizing selects conductor diameter to limit voltage drop and prevent overheating. Code requires ampacity matching and voltage drop limits.
فارمولا
Calculate voltage drop: VD = (2×K×I×L) / (1000×A) for DC or single-phase
- VD
- (2×K×I×L) / (1000×A) for DC or single-phase — (2×K×I×L) / (1000×A) for DC or single-phase
- K
- K value — Variable used in the calculation
- I
- I value — Variable used in the calculation
- L
- L value — Variable used in the calculation
- A
- A value — Variable used in the calculation
- DC
- DC value — Variable used in the calculation
مرحلہ وار گائیڈ
- 1Look up ampacity from tables at operating temperature
- 2Calculate voltage drop: VD = (2×K×I×L) / (1000×A) for DC or single-phase
- 3Select wire where VD <3% feeder, <5% combined
حل شدہ مثالیں
ان پٹ
I = 100 A, L = 50 m, copper wire, assume 60°C ampacity table
نتیجہ
AWG 6 (106 A) with ~3.1% drop, marginal
AWG 4 better choice
عام غلطیاں جن سے بچنا ہے
- ✕Using listed ampacity without derating for temperature or bundling
- ✕Neglecting voltage drop in long feeder runs
اکثر پوچھے جانے والے سوالات
Why limit voltage drop?
Excessive drop reduces equipment performance, efficiency, and motor starting capability.
How does temperature affect wire sizing?
Higher temperature reduces ampacity; must derate if ambient >30°C.
