32a
29.125m
Design current
w/230
lb= 0.547A
Ambient factors
1 cable
Ca=0.91
Cg=1.0
It=design current/ambient factors
10a/(0.91x1.0)=10.989
It=10.989
cable current carrying capacity
IZ= 24a

VD=mvamxibxl/1000
()/1000) =
Vdx1000/mv/a/ib ans x4 =L
Max permitted disconnection time
Ze= 0.11+/1000 =0.Ω
Zs =0 Ω

If you want help with calculations, please post in a clear, correctly formatted manner with your working and specific notes as to where you are stuck, and we will help you. In maths and engineering, you must be precise - e.g. lower and upper case letters have different meanings and you must use the correct ones with the correct symbols and formatting. I cannot be bothered to decipher word salad like:

mvamxibxl
or
0.11+/1000 =0.Ω
Sorry if that sounds unhelpful but you must help us to help you, or you won't learn anything from the answers.
