Need some help on how to start this question.
A 50 HP motor needs to be installed in a melting shop. A nearby substation is able to transmit any
supply voltage less than or equal to 4096 V. Using your knowledge of: cables, safety, and relative costs,
determine the most cost-effective implementation by: selecting cables sizes and supply voltages and
appropriate insulation. Assume Copper wire is 3x as expensive as Aluminum wire and every AWG size
increase corresponds to a 1.5x increase in wire price. State any other relevant costs.
