Hi 54494060
150KW, 440V ,300mm sq, Subcontinent, mean ... "however" client...

 

RE: Electrical Reducing JBs

Is the cable sized for volt-drop reasons, or for thermal rating? I am guess it will be volt-drop unless you have a very unusual environment - 185mm² would be about right for a typical installation. You could safely reduce the cable to a smaller size of adequate thermal rating provided that the protective devices are suitably selected for the smaller cable, unless this is specifically excluded by your local regulations. You haven't yet disclosed where you are, so that is open to speculation.

This size due to the voltageDrop. All the sizing done by properl calc i.e from MCC to red JB and from JB to motor. All Jbs/acessories according to area clasification. No Govement regulation restriction but I dont find any restriction in code too (may be overlook) if someone experience the same thing can be shared. From northen pakistan.
