    Cable Size Report - Cable Calculation

    Uploaded by

    Jayson Patrick
    This document contains the results of a cable calculation performed using Cable Pro software. The calculation was performed for a single phase cable run of 50 meters at 230V carrying a load of 121A. The software determined that a copper cable with a 50mm2 active conductor and 16mm2 earth conductor would satisfy requirements for current capacity, voltage drop and fault protection. All performance criteria were found to pass the relevant standards and limits.
