how to calculate cable size, olr rating, contactor rating

and mccb rating,to below given details three phase motor

75 kw,415 v,.85 pf,50 hz?

Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback

motor rating 75kw,so it taken full load p=1.732*v*I*cosfy

i= p/1.732*v*cosfy

=123 amp. so we requared a cable to carry 123 amp

contonious rating. so require to run motor in star delta

starter . in star delta connection load current is 58% of

line current. we require 58% of 123 amp carring capasity

cable.it is around 71 amp.generly copper cable taking 4

times current of cable rating and alluminium cable taken

1.5 times of cable ratting .so for 71 amp carring alu.

cable 50mm2 suffisent but due to high starting curent its

take 70 mm2 cable ib best.

its overload relay ratting is in range to 71 amp. it to be

60-80 amp,and mccb rating is 2.5 times of full load =200

amp

is best.

Answer / pvr.parthasarathi

75 Kw motor takes 134 amps full load current. But for

selecting its Cable, Contactor, OLR and MCCB, we have to

consider many other factors such as need of its operation.

Place of the Motor Control Centre and possibility of laying

the cable Wheter inside the duct, underground or in the

air. For selection of the Contactor enclosure of the

panel, its environments etc are to be taken into

consideration. So giving answer at a stretch basing on

some thumb rule is not technically qualified.

Other particulars are required.

Answer / v.raguvaran

THE MOTOR AMP IS 130AMP.THE CABLE(USE COPPER ) SIZE SHOULD BE 45sq.mm (delta
connection),35sq.mm(star delta)

OLR RATING IS (125-135) BUT STANDARD SIZE IS (130-175)ABB

CONTACTOR RATING IS 200A(DELTA),100(MAIN)-100(DELTA)-50(STAR)

MCCB RATING IS 250A

sir , what happen if we decrease ( approx 3 inch ) the lenth of shaft in 110KW Induction , three phase
motor. actually a 110KW motor is couppled with star couplling to 120TR compressor. When we doing
maintenance in compressor it is required to skid the motor backword and resulting dis- alightnment . so
we want to change the tyre coupling in place of existing coupling. so it is required to cut off the rotor
aprox 3 inch form driving side.
