Any ill effect of different length cable
Any ill effect of different length cable
(OP)
I am running two of sets of same type medium voltage cable with same rated capacity, but, take 2 separate routing paths, resulting in different length and therefore different impedance, how will this impact its overall performance under normal opearting and fault conditions? thanks.

What frequency?
What is the load?
What is the voltage.
What is the current?
DC or AC?
What kind of cable?
How big is the length difference between paths?

If you are under the requirements of the NEC, you need to find a different way of getting there so that the two routes meet the requirements of 310.4. Lengthen the shorter of the two runs to get the length up to that of the longer run.
