Calculate Size Of — Cable [patched]
For 25 mm² Cu: (R = 0.727\ \Omega/km), (X = 0.080\ \Omega/km) (approx). [ V_d = \sqrt3 \times 81.7 \times 0.1 \times (0.727\times 0.85 + 0.080\times 0.526) ] [ = 14.15 \times (0.618 + 0.042) \approx 14.15 \times 0.66 = 9.34\ \textV ] Percentage: (9.34/415 \approx 2.25%) → acceptable (<3%).

Calculate the let-through energy and ensure the cable size can withstand it. Upsize if necessary (rare, but possible). For 25 mm² Cu: (R = 0
