Hi all, 

I am stuck on this question below. Trying to find out the max Vc Value for the cable. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks


Determine the minimum conductor size for a final sub circuit supplying a single phase 230V 15A motor protected by a 25A Circuit breaker. The circuit consists of orange circular cable with copper conductors. The route length of the circuit is 23m, and the voltage drop in the existing single phase consumers mains is 2.5V.

Voltage drop permissible in the final subcircuit = 9 Volts

Find the maximum Vc Value for the cable = ?? 
Minimum size cable as per table = 2.5mm2

Hi Joe

I just solved that question. Please see attached image.

For Current (I) in the Vc formula I used 15A which is the max demand of the motor.

Orange circular cable is multicore for which I got the cable size from Table 42.

Tushar
