    Hello.
    Whether the 5x 2.5mm ^ 2 cable is 100 meters long, it is able to safely power a 3-phase motor with a power of 3 KW.

    Calmly, this engine will consume about 6A and this cable can withstand even 20A in the worst conditions

    And the voltage drop due to 100m?

    Ok 7-8V Woja google does not bite the whole lot of patterns. Regards!

    In the worst conditions, 20A will definitely not last. The permissible load capacity in the conduit is 19A.
    But there is also such a recipe:
    - Construction switchboards should be located at a distance of not more than 50 m from the energy receivers.

    The place where the engine will be (actually the whole feeder) is a small brick farm building with an area of 25m ^ 2. Currently powered by 1-phase aeration from an "extension". The owner will have a hard time swallowing the fact that this szrotownik for PLN 1,300 cannot be powered from this extension cord and is waiting for additional investment. Apart from the abovementioned scraper, there are two 100W bulbs and a "professional" 1100W drill for mixing the feed slurry.
    The whole is connected to the differential for peace of mind ...
    In my opinion, it would be best to give 5x4mm ^ 2 there because who knows what else the future will bring. Well, well. The owner's decision that nothing else will ever be connected there.

    Thanks for the answers.

    Hello!

    Such a solution calls into question the condition of meeting the SWZ.

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the feasibility of using a 100m long, 5x2.5mm² cable to power a 3KW 3-phase motor. It is noted that the motor will draw approximately 6A, while the cable can handle up to 20A under worst-case conditions. However, concerns about voltage drop over the 100m distance arise, with estimates suggesting a drop of 7-8V. The permissible load capacity in conduit is mentioned as 19A, indicating that the cable may not be suitable for continuous operation at maximum capacity. A suggestion is made to upgrade to a 5x4mm² cable for future-proofing, considering additional equipment may be connected later. The context includes a small brick farm building currently powered by a 1-phase extension cord.
