 Cable laying

For Cable Laying: - ( Single Cable M.V / H.T )

Brick = 10 Nos per meter length
Sand = 4.38 cu.mts or 155 cu.ft per 50 meter length.

Cable selection

M.V. Cables : - By current carrying capacity chart.

H.T cables : - By short circuit current. as below.
(For aluminium Cables)

q = 14.2 Ik t sq.mm

Where q = Aluminium cable size

Ik = Short circuit current
t = Short circuit duration which should not exceed 0.2 secs.

A ) : -For 11 kV :: Rupturing capacity is 250 MVA

Ik = 250 mva 3 x 11 kV = 13.12 kA

q = 14.2 x 13.12 x 0.2 = 83.297 sq.mm

Nearest size is 95 sq .mm only.

B ) : -For 22 kV :: Rupturing capacity is 350 MVA

Ik = 350 mva / 3 x 22 kV = 9.184 kA

q = 14.2 x 9.184 x 0.2 = 58.32 sq.mm

Nearest size is 70 sq.mm but for uniformity use 95 sq mm

For copper Cables use the formula

q = 9.4 Ik t sq.mm

 Lift : : Meaning of some words & clearances
1.Selective collective operation : - Applicable even to a single lift. All intermediate landings
shall have two buttons & the top-most and bottom-most landings shall have a single button. This is an
automatic operation where-in all `up` landing calls are answered by the car going up , and all `down`
landing calls are answered by down-going car. The stops are made in the sequence of the landings
reached in the required direction and not in the order of buttons pressed.
2.Rated speed : - The speed attained by the lift car in the up direction with full rated load.

3.Safety Device : - A device which stops the car / counter weight if the rope breaks, or governor
operates and holds it to the guides.

4.Quality of service : - Max. waiting time by passenger at a landing. If it is 20 to 25 secs. it is

excellent. From 30 to 35 secs it is good, From 35 to 40 secs. it is fair., If it is 45 secs. it is poor. Over 45
secs. it is unsatisfactory.

5.Quantity of service: -Also called Handling capacity. It is the No of passengers handled in any
five minute period during peak hours expressed as a percentage. For diversified tenancy buildg. it is 10 to
15 % .For single purpose office occupancy it is 15 to 25 %. For residential buildg, it is 7.5 %.

6.Bottom car / counter weight Runby : - It is the vertical clearance between the buffer striking
plate attached to the car / counter wt. and top surface of the buffer spring when the car floor is in level
with the ( bottom most floor for car runby : top-most floor for counter wt, runby). This should be
within the limits of 300 to 600 mm for car and 300 to 900 mm for counter weight.

7.Top car clearance : - It is the vertical clearance between top of the car cross head and shaft
ceiling or any over head obstruction on the ceiling when the car floor is in level with the top terminal
landing. This should not be less than the sum of 600 + counter weight runby + counter weight spring
stroke + Half of the gravity stopping distance of the car when governor is activated.
