    This document summarizes the cable sizing calculation for a 2500kVA common transformer incoming cable. It provides the transformer parameters, voltage and frequency specifications, allowable voltage drop percentage, cable derating factor and length. It then calculates the transformer full load current and determines the cable size based on ampacity and short circuit withstanding capacity requirements. A sample calculation is shown and the selected cable size that meets the voltage drop limit is 3.6/6 (7.2)kV, 1RX3Cx185 sq.mm, (2XFY) XLPE, Flat Armoured, Copper cable.
