C multi core cable is equal to

1.030 mV / A · Mtr. --- Which is within the limit ( means < the requirement of 14.836 mV / A · Mtr. )

Hence, Recommended Cable Size is 1 no. 4C x 50 mm2 + 25 mm2 E

ALTERNATIVE : 1 no. 3C x 35 mm2 + 16 mm2 N + 16 mm2 E

The Actual Voltage Drop of the Recommended Cable = 0.13 % ≈ 379.50 V (WORKING VOLTAGE)

This software package will calculate the required cable size & voltage drop installed in free air or enclosed run & raceway, and display the amount of actual voltage, and the equivalent voltage drop in percentage of this amount.
The data used are constants based on an ambient temperature that the designer selects, ranging from 10 oC to 60 oC and group factor for different cable installation condition and formation requirement.
The size of cable may range from 1.5 mm2 to 500 mm2 in the industry standard increments. Distances must be entered in meter units, this length also must be the one way distance from the source to the load.
