Cable ampacity is calculated based on on IEC-60287 method of calculation.

The manufacturer's data for cable at standard installation methods, have been incorporated
in the given calculation method to obtain the actual derated ampacity of cable ,
in the site conditions
So, using the cable manufacturer's ( Riyadh cables) published data refer to the ampacity
as would have arrived by IEC-60287 method.
The 13.8 kV cables are laid through concrete ductbank from Auto Transformer
to Control Buiding as 1 no. single core cable per phase, in trefoil formation inside a
PVC airfilled pipe.
