Always check the voltage drop over the cable (less than 5 % of the nominal voltage is recommended).
Example of supply cable calculation: Itot = 128 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C, recommended fuse = 150
A
Single supply cables (3 phases + 1 PE - configuration (1)):
I = 128 A + 25 % = 128 x 1.25 = 160 A
For AWG2/0, the maximum current is 175 A, which is sufficient => use AWG2/0
Install the prescribed maximum fuse (150 A) on each cable
Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + 2 PE - configuration (2)):
I = (128 A + 25%)/2 = (128 x 1.25)/2 = 80 A
For a AWG4, the maximum current is 85 A x 0.8 = 68 A, which is insufficient. For an AWG3, the maximum current
is 100 x 0.8 = 80 A. So 2 parallel cables of 3 x AWG3 + 2 x AWG8 are sufficient.
Install 80 A fuses on each cable.
