1.0 SCOPE
Scope of this report is to calculate the 4.16kV Cable sizes(3.6/6kV Grade) for the following 3 cases.
CASE-1
4.16 kV Cable size (3.6/6kV Grade) from 4.16kV Station Transformer T 401 orT 402 to 4.16kV Station
Switchgear incoming breakers.
CASE-2
4.16 kV Cable size (3.6/6kV Grade) from 4.16kV Station Switchgear to Station Aux Transformer T201 or T202.
CASE-3
4.16 kV Cable size (3.6/6kV Grade) from 4.16kV Station Switchgear to Starting Motors GT#7 or GT#8
2.2
IEC 60364-5-523 Selection and erection of electrical equipment-Current Carrying capacities in wiring system.
2.4 Key One Line Diagram for Arar Plant Drawing No: KA667481 REV-P0D
According to SES-P-104.03 Engineering standards Cl No:4.9.6 the minimum cable cross section may be
calculated with the formula:
142 x S
I =
t
Where,
I = Maximum Allowable conductor Short Circuit Current in Amps
t = Duration of Short circuits in seconds
S = Cross Sectional Area of Current Carrying conductor in Sqmm
K = Temperature co-efficient of conductor resistance. = 142 for copper XLPE
therefore,
