Cable & Wire Sizing Calculation

This document provides calculations for cable sizing for a distribution board that powers lighting and small power in a control room, welfare building, and lab building. It lists the circuit details like MCB rating, room location, connected loads, calculated load current, recommended cable size and type, voltage drop calculations to check if the cable sizing is adequate, and remarks. The calculations show that a 1Cx2.5mm or 1Cx4mm copper cable is sufficient for most circuits and a 3Cx2.5mm or 3Cx4mm cable is required for circuits with higher loads like UPS room. All voltage drops are within safe limits.
