4.00.00 CABLE SELECTION AND SIZING CRITERIA

4.01.00 Cable sizing criteria for Power cable

The calculation and technical choice of power cables consist of the determination of the normalized conductor in applying simultaneously the three following conditions:

a) Continuous current capacity: The overheating, in permanent overload (thermal

protection current setting), taking into account the site and installation conditions, so

that cable components are not exposed to excessive temperature value.

b) Short time rating: The possibility to carry without degradation, an accidental over

current at the end of the cable, taking into account protection devices.

c) Voltage drop criteria: The voltage drop caused by the current flowing in cores

restricted to a value allowing the starting and the permanent loading of the consumers.

The conditions (a) and (b) give the minimal cross section of the conductor. Condition (b) will be applied for all HT feeders and for feeders controlled by ACB’s in case of LV system. Cables shall be sized for rated short circuit current of the respective Swgrs/Boards/MCCs. Feeders controlled by fuses/MCB’s/MCCB’s will not be sized for short circuit rating.

The condition (c) gives the maximum length, which can’t be exceeded, in order to comply with the maximum admissible voltage drop. If the length permitted by conditions (c) is insufficient, it will be necessary to increase the cable cross-section consequently.

7.00.00 SIZING OF POWER CABLE

A. Cable sizes based on short circuit current consideration

Short circuit current and the time duration are related with the following formula :

I12t1 = I2

2t

Where,

2

I1 = Short circuit current for t1

I

second

2 = Short circuit current for t2

The short circuit current & interrupting time shall be as under:

second

1. For 11kV – 40kA – 0.2 sec for outgoing motor feeders.

40kA – 0.2 sec for outgoing transformer feeders

40kA – 1 sec for tie feeders

2. For 3.3kV – 40kA – 0.2 sec for outgoing motor feeders

3. For 415V--- 50/65kA – 0.2 sec for outgoing motor feeders

50/65kA – 0.2 sec for outgoing transformer feeders

50/65kA – 1 sec for tie feeders

For Fuse/MCB/MCCB protected feeders, minimum cross section criteria will not apply. In

that feeders continuous current rating and voltage drop will be the deciding factor for

selecting the suitable cables.

Also Outgoing feeders where only IDMTL protection is provided, 1 sec shall be considered

for cable sizing.

With the above formula the equivalent fault current for 1 second is calculated and the

corresponding cable cross sectional size is selected from cable catalogue.

B. Cable sizes based on maximum continuous load current

(1) The allowable continuous current rating of cable shall be calculated using the

following formula:

AND OUR STANDARDS USED FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS.

C. Cable sizes based on voltage drop calculation criteria

The allowable voltage drop of cable over the rated voltage of equipment shall be limited to

2% between Transformer to MCC and 3% between MCC to Motor at full load running

condition and 15% during motor starting condition. Lighting cables shall be sized to limit the

voltage drop from main lighting distribution board (MLDB) to lighting panel (LP) as 3%.

The voltage drop is calculated using the maximum size calculated in 7.00.00(A) and

7.00.00(B) above by the following formula.

(a) At normal/running operation

Vn = Kv x Ie x L x (R Cosθ + Xc Sinθ)

(b) At starting of motor

Vs = Kv x Is x L x (R Cosϕ + Xc Sinϕ) Where:

Vn, Vs = Voltage drop of cable

Kv = Coefficient

Ie = Rated current of equipment

Is = Starting current of equipment

L = Length of cable in KM

R = Resistance of cable (Ω / Km) at max continuous

temperature of conductor Rac- for AC circuit & Rdc- for

DC circuit

Xc = Cable reactance (Ω/ Km)

Cosθ = Normal/running Power factor

Cosϕ = Starting Power factor

8.00.00 SIZING OF CONTROL CABLE

Minimum size proposed for control cables will be 1.5 sq. mm. For current transformer secondary circuits 4.0 sq. mm minimum cross section shall be used for each phase and for potential transformer secondary circuits, the minimum cross section of the conductors shall be 4 sq. mm. The minimum number of spare cores in control cables shall be as follows:

No. of cores in cable

2C, 4C NIL

Min. No. of spare cores

5C-6C 1

7C-13C 2

14C & above 3

9.00.00 CONCLUSION

According to 7.00.00(A) & 7.00.00(B) calculations the cable cross section is sufficient to

carry the current during normal as well as short circuit conditions.

As per 7.00.00(C) calculation the cable voltage drop with the cross sections calculated will

always be limited to 2-3% during normal operation and 15% during the motor starting

condition.

The above criterion defines the basis for selection and sizing of the cables. For package

vendors, this will be used as a broad guideline. The final selection of the cables shall be the

maximum of the sizes calculated according to 7.00.00(A),(B) &(C) and shall be standardized so

as to optimize the number of cables sizes proposed for this project. The cable sizing calculation

shall be submitted as a separate document.
