Cable Sizing Calculation

This document summarizes the electrical load calculations for a 3-phase power system supplying 1000 kW of total load over 200 meters using a single 1000mm^2 cable. It determines that the derated current capacity of the cable is 1411A, which is within the current rating of 1550A set by the inverter, and concludes that a 1000mm^2 3-core XLPE/PVC cable is suitable to supply the 1000kW load over the given distance.
