Conductor Size only for Cu wire 29/3/22 10:27 AM

0.5/0.75/1

2/2.5 RM

1/1.5 RM
 Wiring for individual room 29/3/22 10:27 AM

2/2.5 RM for individual room Individual sub circuit power, P=< 800 W and should not use more than 10 circuits
 Current, wire size and circuit breaker selection 29/3/22 10:27 AM

P=VI Cos 𝜃
For selecting conductor size /circuit breaker: Current, I should be calculated

Typical Example: What will be the conductor size, switch and circuit breaker for a load of 1500 W Air conditioner

𝑃 1500
𝐼= = = 5.8𝐴
𝑉𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 220 × 0.85

For Motor, initial current is very high and may be 2-3 times of steady current

So, current will be 5.8x3 = 17.4 A Conductor size is 2 RM

Circuit breaker must be greater than steady current =10 A

Other than Motor, the current for conductor should be 125% of load current
