ELECTRICAL DESIGN CALCULATION

SIZING CALCULATION OF CABLES

INPUT:
Equipment name : Cooling Tower Pumps
Motor tag no : CTP-02
Cable tag no : CTP-02
Voltage : 415 Volts
Connected load : 9.30 KW
Cable length : 10 mtrs
cable laid between : FROM Chiller Room MCC Panel to CTP-02
Derating factor : 0.47
Conductor operating temperature : 70 deg
Efficiency Factor : 85.0%
Power Factor : 80%
Cable :
Conductor current rating : 60 Amps
No of Runs : 1
Selected cable size
-Core : 3 core
-Sqmm : 16.0 sqmm
Method of starting :
Allowable voltage drop at running condition : 5%
Allowable voltage drop at starting condition : 15%

CALCULATION:
9.3kwx1000/{v/3 x0.85efx0.8pf x415volts}
Full load current of the motor : 19 Amps

Current carrying capacity of the cable : 28 Amps

Hence 1 run of 4/c -16sqmm.Al. Conductorpvc insulated armoured cable is accepted for this purpose.

DC Resistance of cable at 20 c : 1.9100 ohms/km only for reference

AC resistance of cable at 70 c ® : 2.3000 ohms/km
Reactance value at 50Hz for 16sqmm (X) : 0.0890 ohms/km
Impedance value (Z) : 2.3017 ohms/km

Voltage drop at running condition 0.76

% Voltage drop at running condition 0.18% WITHIN THE LIMITS

voltage drop at starting current 5.46

% voltage drop at starting current 1.32% WITHIN THE LIMITS

Hence , the selected cable is within the limits and it is acceptable.
