Cable Loss Calculation

The document calculates cable loss for powering a 160kW motor with various cable sizes over a 150m run. It determines the current load on each cable after derating, calculates the voltage drop over the run, and estimates the power loss and cable loss percentage at full motor load for 3CX95sqmm, 3CX120sqmm, 3CX150sqmm, and 3CX150sqmm cable sizes. The 3CX150sqmm cable was found to have the lowest cable loss of 1.8% at full motor load.
