Wire conductivities are 100 percent IACS copper and 61 percent IACS aluminum, and aluminum conduit is 45 percent LACS. Capacitive reactance is ignored, since itis negligible at these voltages. ‘These resistance values are valid only at 75°C and for the parameters as given, but are representative for 600-volt wire types operating at 60 Hz. (2) Effective Z is defined as R approximation for line-to-neutral (PF), effective impedance (Ze) can be calculated from R and X L values given in this table as follows: Ze = ‘cos(6) + X sin(@), where @ is the power factor angle of the circuit. Multiplying current by effective impedance gives a good 1 voltage drop.

This informative annex provides application information for ampacities calculated under engineering supervision, B.2 Typical Applications Covered by Tables. Typical ampacities for conductors rated 0 through 2000 volts are shown in Table B.310.15(B)(2)(1) through Table B.310.15(B)(2)(10). Table B.310.15(B)(2) (11) provides the adjustment factors for more than three current-carrying conductors in a raceway or cable with load diversity. Underground electrical duct bank configurations, as detailed in Figure B310.15(B\(2)(3), Figure B.310.15(B)(2)(4), and Figure B.310.15(B)(2)(5), are utilized for conductors rated 0 through 5000 volts. In Figure B.310.15(B) (2)Q2) through Figure B.310.15(B\(2\(5), where adjacent duct banks are used, a separation of 1500 mm between the centerlines of the closest ducts in each bank or 1200 mm between the extremities of the concrete envelopes is sufficient to prevent derating of the conductors due to mutual heating. These were calculated as detailed in the basic ampacity paper, AIEE Paper 57-660, The Calculation of the Temperature Rise and Load Capability of Cable Systems, by J. H. Neher and M. H. McGrath. For additional information concerning the application of these ampacities, see IEEE STD 835-1994, Standard Power Cable Ampacity Tables. ‘Typical values of thermal resistivity (Rho) are as follows: ‘Average soil (90 percent of USA) = 90 Concrete = 55 Damp soil (coastal areas, high water table) = 60 Paper insulation = 550 951APPENDIX D Example D12 Voltage Regulators, Three-Phase, 60 Hz, 350-530 Volts Input, 230 Volts Output VR Determine the size of input feeder wires and overcurrent protection fora 30 kVA, 3-phase, 60 hertz, 350-530 volts input, 230 volts output automatic voltage regulator. 30 kVA x 1000 350 Vx 1.732 = 50 Amperes Use 14 mm?

For intermittent duty using @ continuous. rated motor, the pereentage of nameplate current rating to be used is 140%. (B) For the 30-hp ac drive motor, 140% x 40. A= 56A. For the 40-hp ac drive motor, 140% x S2A=73A (C) The total conductor ampacity is the sum of all the motor currents.
