So, I'm currently learning how to calculate conductor cross-sections. While I've been learning, I've discovered two different ways to calculate this. The first way is with a formula: Alternating current:A=(2 × L × I x cos(φ)) ÷ κ x ΔU Three-phase current: A=(√3 × L × I x cos(φ)) ÷ κ x ΔU The second…
If you want to supply a sub-distribution. 1xCEE 16 and 3x 16A Schuko. I'm kind of confused on this. For three-phase current, you calculate with a square root of three. For alternating current, you calculate with a factor of two. So that's clear. And if you have three Schuko sockets with 16A, do you have…
Hello, A year ago I installed and wired a few sockets in my uncle's garage. I'm still training to be an electrical engineer, so I didn't know everything yet. Now, a year later, I keep thinking about one mistake I made and it just won't let me go. Among many other things I did right,…
Hello, I want to calculate the conductor cross-section that I need for my electric motor. Now a thick underground cable goes from the main distribution board into a sub-distribution cabinet and from there to the electric motor. Do I then have to calculate the voltage drop or the cross-section based on the entire route or…
