Calculating the drop cable size for submersible pump

Max cable length of single phase submersible pump is given as follows :

U x DU
L= r
I x 2 x 100 x ( cos f x q + sin f x XI )

Max cable length of three phase submersible pump is given as follows :

U x DU
L= r
I x 1.73 x 100 x ( cos f x q + sin f x XI )

Where : L : Max cable length [m]

U : Rated voltage {V}.
DU : Voltage drop {%}.
I : Rated current of motor {A}.
r : Specific resistance : 0.02 {Wmm2/m}
q : Cross section of submersible drop cable {mm2}.
XI : Inductive resistance : 0.078 x 10 -3 [W/m]
cosf : Power factor

Data : U= 380 Rated voltage {V}.

DU = 4 Voltage drop {%}.
I= 76 Rated current of motor {A}.
r= 0.02 Specific resistance : 0.02 {Wmm2/m}
q= 50 Cross section of submersible drop cable {mm2}.
XI = 7.8E-5 Inductive resistance : 0.078 x 10-3 [W/m]
cosf= 0.89 Power factor

Max cable length of single phase pump :

380 x 4
L= 0.02 = 255 m for 1 phase
76 x 2 x 100 x ( 0.89 x 50 + 0.46 x 7.8E-5 )

Max cable length of three phase pump :

380 x 4
L= 0.02 = 295 m for 3 phase
76 x 1.73 x 100 x ( 0.89 x 50 + 0.46 x 7.8E-5 )
