Cable Sizing: A. Mazhar

This document discusses cable sizing for power distribution systems. It explains that cable sizing is important to consider current, voltage drop, and short circuit withstand capacity. For a 2500 watt, 24V DC system with a 30m cable run, the current calculation is 104.66 amps. The document recommends selecting an acceptable cable size to distribute this load while meeting electrical parameters like voltage drop and circuit breaker ratings.
