Impedence of the Cable Selected (95 Sq. mm XLPE Cable ) = Zc (say)

AC Resistance (at 70 0 C) of 95 Sq. mm Cable = 0.41 Ohm /Km.
For 570 Mtr length of Cable Rac = 0.41 x 0.570 = 0.2337 Ohm.
AC Reactance (at 70 0 C) of 95 Sq. mm Cable = 0.0724 Ohm /Km.
For 570 Mtr length of Cable Xac = 0.0724 x 0.570 = 0.0412 Ohm.
Therefore Impedance of the Cable Zc

= SQRT{ (Rac)2 +(Xac)2 }

= SQRT (0.0375) = 0.208 Ohm.

Running Voltage drop Vr in Motor Cable = ImX Ze = 117*0.208
