    The document provides formulas and guidelines for calculating the minimum required cross-sectional area of cables based on operating time, short circuit current, material properties, and initial and final temperatures. It lists maximum temperature limits for different cable insulation materials including PVC, butyl rubber, and XLPE/EPR. The short circuit current can be determined based on the interrupting capability of the circuit breakers or fuses that protect the cables.

    A = Minimum required cross section area in mm2

    t = Operating time of disconnecting device in seconds


    Isc = RMS Short Circuit current Value in Ampere
    C = Constant equal to 0.0297 for copper & 0.0125 for aluminum
    T2 = Final temp. C (max. short circuit temperature)
    T1 = Initial temp. C (max. cable operating temperature normal conditions)
    T0 = 234.5 C for copper and 228.1 C for aluminum

    Insulation Final Initial


    material temperature T2 temperature T1
    PVC 160 C 70 C
    Butyl Rubber 220 C 85 C
    XLPE / EPR 250 C 90 C

    The fault current (ISC) can be sized based on the interrupting capability of the
    circuit breakers/fuses that protect them
