MCCB Cable Size Calculations PDF

This document provides information on cable sizing calculations, including: 1. A table listing the DC resistance in ohms/km for different sizes of plain copper and aluminum conductors at 20°C. 2. A sample cable sizing calculation for various equipment in a power substation, listing cable length, resistance, total resistance, loading current, voltage drop, size used, and MCCB selected. 3. The calculations are done to determine the proper cable size to minimize voltage drop based on current loading and cable length for different circuits in the substation.
