How do I calculate conduit requirements?
How do I calculate conduit requirements?
Calculations:
- Area of Cable =3.14 X (Diameter/2)2.
- Area of 50 Cable =3.14X (28/2)2 =615.44 Sq.mm.
- Total Area of 50 Cable=No of Cable X Area of Each Cable.
- Total Area of 50 Cable=5X615.
- Area of 185 Cable =3.14X (54/2)2 = 2289 Sq.mm.
- Total Area of 185 Cable=No of Cable X Area of Each Cable.
