6.0 RECOMMENDED CABLE SIZE Type Size (Sq.mm) No. of Runs
(Higher of 4.3 and 5.6)

NOTE:
1) Load angle shall correspond to starting condition of Motor.
2) For 220, 110 & 24V DC system, Voltage drop = 2*I*R*L / V
where I = Current, R = Resistance, L= Length of Cable & V= System Voltage
3) For Single Phase AC, Voltage drop = 2*I*(RCos
