Cable Selection 4" submersible motors
Two different cable sizes can be used.
The example below is for reference and uses the CSIR chart below.
Depending on the installation, any number of combinations may be
used, as long as the total percentage length of the two cables used
does not exceed 100%. This is to ensure that adequate voltage will be
supplied to the motor.
In a replacement installation, the well already has 210 feet of buried
#12 cable between the service entrance and the well head. The
question is: What size cable is required in the well with a 1 HP, 230 Volt,
1 PH, 3W motor setting at 310 feet?
1. According to the table, #12 cable is large enough for the 1 HP motor
so the percent of the maximum allowable cable used by the 210-foot
run is 210 ÷ 359 = 58.5%, since 359 feet is the total allowable.
2. With 58.5% of the total allowable cable already used between the
service entrance and the well head, only 41.5% is left for the well.
Therefore, the 310 feet needed in the well can only utilize 41.5% of
the total feet allowed in the table.
3. From the table, 41.5% of the 573 feet for #10 cable equals only 238
feet, so a larger size is needed. For #8, 41.5% of 908 feet = 377 feet.
As a result, #8 can be used for the 310 feet in the well.
NOTE: Based on service factor amps, 30C ambient and 5% voltage drop.
(1) This table is based on copper wire. If aluminum wire is used it must be two sizes larger. Example: When the table calls for
#12 copper wire you would use #10 aluminum wire.
(2) Cables #14 to #0000 are AWG sizes.
