- For system utilization voltage 11 kV, cables shall be three core XLPE
insulated, rated 11/11 kV.
- For system utilization voltage 3.3 kV, cables shall be three core XLPE
insulated, rated 3.3/3.3 kV.
- For system utilization voltage 0.415 kV, cables shall be PVC insulated,
rated for 1.1 kV.
- Cable sizing calculations shall include current derating for installation
conditions, voltage drop limitations during normal and starting conditions,
and short circuit verification(11kV & 3.3kV only).
- The short circuit rating of cables shall be based upon switchgear short
circuit rated values. Time duration to size 11kV & 3.3kV cables shall be
0.25s for motor feeders with Vacuum Circuit Breaker.
Site conditions for design purposes are as per basic engineering data, in
particular:
Temperature
Type of installation:

4. BASIS OF CALCULATION
Iz = K1 x K2 x In (A)
where:
=√ ((90-46)/(90-40))
= 0.938
The voltage drop on the cable line is computed as a percentage value of the
rated feeding voltage, as follows:
VS
90-θ
θ VR θ IR*X
IR*R

VS = VR + IR x Rcosθ + IR x Xcos(90-θ)
= VR + IR x Rcosθ + IR x Xsinθ
VS - VR = IR x Rcosθ + IR x Xcos(90-θ)

VR VR
V1 = V for 3 ph system
3
V1 = V/2 for 1 ph system
V = line to line voltage of the system (V)
R = cable electrical resistance at rated operating temperature
(ohm/km)
X = cable reactance (ohm/km)
L = line length (km)
I = line current (A)
For motor feeders, voltage drop is calculated for both operating and starting
conditions, to verify that the acceptable limits are not exceeded.
Taking into account voltage drop limitation at motor terminals, as per para. 1.3,
the following max. voltage drop values on the line are allowed to size the cable:
ΔVn% ΔVs%
M.V. motor feeders: 4.0 13.0
L.V. motor feeders (75kW to 199 kW): 4.0 13.0
L.V. motor feeders (<75kW): 5.0 15.0
0.240 kV lighting points feeders: 1.0
other feeders: 1.0

S= I × t /K
where:
t = fault duration (S)
S = cross-sectional area (mm2)
I = effective short circuit current (kA)
K = 0.094 for aluminium conductor insulated with XLPE
The above formula is verified for the typical disconnection time t of the protective
switchgear provided, and for the fault current I at both ends of the cable line
(max and min short circuit current).
Here,
t = 0.25s
I = 26.24 kA
S = 26.24 x (0.25)1/2
0.094
= 139.6 sq. mm
