copper vs aluminum wire current capacity 2.5A vs 1.5A or 10A vs 6A ideal
Copper wire can generally carry more current than aluminum wire of the same gauge (size) due to copper’s higher conductivity and lower resistance. Aluminum wire typically needs to be larger (approximately 50-60% greater cross-sectional area) to carry the same current as a copper wire. Specifically, an aluminum conductor has roughly 40% lower current-carrying capacity than a copper conductor […]
ac wire size calculator formula how we decide 2.5sqmm or 4sqmm for 1.5 ton ac
generally, 1 sqmm copper wire carries 10-15a we take as 10a 1.5 ton ac 1600w/230v= 7amps then why 4 sqmm wire recommed. But electirclian use 2.5A for copper and 1.5A for alumunium which 60% lower than copper wire. AC’s current draw is correct for its rated power, there are several crucial factors that necessitate […]
6a or 16a or 20a socket india which one to choose which switch to choose 20a 16a or 6a
we know indian volatge standard 230v fluctions 230-250v. Choosing between 16A and 20A sockets and switches, and deciding on switch ratings (6A, 16A, or 20A), depends entirely on the electrical load (the appliance) you intend to connect. Understanding Amperage (A) Amperage is a measure of the electric current flowing through a circuit. Higher […]
home service wire selection chart in mm single phase india
List of aluminium service wires size and capacity india with compnay & price Aluminium service wires are commonly used in India for electrical distribution, particularly for overhead lines and service connections to homes and businesses, due to their cost-effectiveness and lightweight nature compared to copper. Here’s a tabulated list combining information on sizes, […]
how to do earthing in house wiring how it works
Earthing (also known as grounding) is a critical safety measure in any electrical installation, especially in house wiring. It provides a path for fault currents to safely dissipate into the earth, protecting people from electric shock and preventing damage to appliances and the electrical system. Why is Earthing Essential? Protection against Electric Shock: In case […]
home electricity load and wire size calculation india single phase
Calculating the home electricity load and determining the appropriate wire size for a single-phase system in India involves a few key steps. It’s crucial for safety, efficiency, and to avoid overloading your electrical system. In India, the standard single-phase residential voltage is typically 230V. variation ±6% This means the voltage can range from 207V to […]
