SUMMARY

The wire size requirements for a 380V three-phase Fan Coil Unit and Air Handler Unit are determined by their respective power ratings and circuit lengths. The Fan Coil Unit operates at 3.7kW with a circuit length of 70 meters, while the Air Handler Unit operates at 5.5kW with a circuit length of 24 meters. Full load amperage and recommended breaker sizes for these units can be found in their submittals, and wire size specifications are governed by electrical code, specifically referenced in the provided link to Armstrong Supply's wire chart.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrical load calculations
  • Familiarity with 380V three-phase systems
  • Knowledge of wire sizing codes and standards
  • Ability to interpret equipment submittals
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the wire sizing chart from Armstrong Supply for 380V applications
  • Calculate full load amperage for various electrical devices
  • Study electrical code requirements for wire sizing in three-phase systems
  • Explore best practices for circuit design in HVAC applications
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, HVAC technicians, and anyone involved in the installation or maintenance of three-phase electrical systems, particularly in the context of fan coil and air handler units.

I need to calculate the wire size for a Fan Coil Unit that uses 3.7kw @ 380v/3ph with a circuit of 70 meters one way.

Also the wire size for a Air Handler Unit that uses 5.5kw @ 380v/3ph with a circuit length of 24m one way.
