The cost of energy is 5p per kwh and interest and


A 2-conductor cable 1 km long is required to supply a constant current of 200 A throughout the year. The cost of cable including installation is Rs. (20 a + 20per metre where 'a' is the area of X-section of the conductor in cm2. The cost of energy is 5P per kWh and interest and depreciation charges amount to 10%. Calculate the most economical conductor size. Assume resistivity of conductor material to be 1·73 μ Ω cm.
