Here you have the possibility to calculate the required cross-section of copper connection cables in
the three-phase network. Normal three-phase loads such as three-phase motors are connected here.
Attention:
Our cable calculator only generates a rough estimate for the cross-section!
For Example:
A 400 volt three-phase asynchronous motor has a rated current of 25 amps, one
cos φ of 0.89, a cable length of 94 m, and the voltage drop of the cable is 2%.
Which cable cross-section results from these specifications?
A = (√3 x I x L x cosφ) / (K x Δv x V)
A = (√3 x 25 A x 94 m x 0.89) / (56 x 2% x 400 V)
A = (3622.48) / (448)
A = 8.09 mm²
The next larger suitable cross-section is 10 mm²!
Measuring Units:
Cross section A = mm²
Voltage V = Volt [V]
Current I = Ampere [A]
Kappa copper K = 56 [m / Ω x mm²]
Delta U Δu =%
cos φ no measuring unit
√3 or 1.732 no measuring unit
