Hello I checked a surrey equipment of 7500 single-phase refrigerators, its nominal consumption indicates 16 amper. An electrician made the connection on the main board and put a thermal of 25 amper and took the cable to the equipment (approximately 20 meters) with 2.5 mm cable. In that distance can be placed 4 mm cable and 20 amp thermal? Or do we have to move to another driver gauge? Thank you

Hi, I don't know how long ago you connected the device. But for more than 6000 refrigerators, I usually wire with a 4 mm section and a 25 A thermal section. In addition, these devices usually come without a male card to install with wiring that is not so limit (2.5 mm). On the other hand the thermal of 25 is not conditioned - do not protect - a cable of that diameter.

Hi the 4mm cable does not support 24 amper?

If 4mm supports 24 A

triathlon If the electrician put protection of 25A and 2 50 mm2 cables is wrong. However, if you put 4 mm2 cables, it is correct I put both possibilities because the question is not entirely clear A 4 mm2 conductor supports 28A (not 24, that's old) The ideal installation for the mentioned equipment is 4 mm2 conductors and 20A thermal regards

That's right, put 25 amper thermal, the equipment is 20 meters from where the thermal came with 2.5 mm2 cable (poor quality), for me it is bad, so I asked what it is that corresponds considering the number of meters of cable and voltage drop
In the thermal one there are 215 volts, with the equipment working in the terminal of the same one there were 200 volts.

According to calculations, placing conductors of 2.50 mm2 gives a voltage drop of 2.38%, of course we must talk about first-line conductors, if you put poor quality conductors that calculation does not count
The 25A thermal is not suitable for any 2.50 mm2 conductor
Actually with 2,50 mm2 and 20A thermal conductors you can go, but the ideal is 4 mm2 with 20A thermal

They do these things without advice, the equipment cuts low voltage on hot days, it is recommended that they correct the installation and then take measurements again.

Your observation is correct, the main thing in electricity is to use standardized and approved material which will ensure that a conductor that claims to be 2.50, is really 2.50 mm2 of real copper and not painted metal
Now beware ... a voltage drop is not only generated by the wiring, it is also generated by its different connections and splices and although they have the best cable, a false contact can make disasters
In conclusion, the cable if it was of good quality is not bad, the thermal instead. Many use the thermal of 25 as a workhorse and put it to c

Anything when you should analyze what is being protected, why and for what ... The first thing that a thermomagnetic protects, are the drivers so you should analyze the driver's Iz

The maximum permissible thermal for 2.50 mm2 is 20A while for 4 mm2 it is 25A
