CHILLIKA DISTELLERY PVT LTD Sheet No.: 3 of 5
1 OBJECTIVES:
The intent of this document is to prepare sizing of Low Voltage (LV) Power cables considering cable ampacity and voltage drop for
CHILLIKA DISTELLERY PVT LTD
2 DESIGN INPUTS:
i System Voltage 415V, 3 Phase, 50 Hz
ii System Grounding Solidly Grounded
iii For Motor Feeders
System Voltage : 415V
Max. Allowable Voltage Drop : 5% (During Running) i.e 20.75 V & 15% (During Starting) i.e 62.25 V
P.F. (Running) : 0.85 (As Assumed )
P.F. (Starting) : 0.2 ( As Assumed)
iv For Power Feeders (415V & 240V)
: 4% i.e. 16.6 V
Max. Allowable Voltage Drop for 415V Feeder
Max. Allowable Voltage Drop for 240V Feeder : 2% i.e. 4.8 V
: Derating Factor (D.F) for cables laid in O/H Trays considered (0.8). & Derating Factor (D.F) for cables laid in buried underground cable
Cable Derating Factor
v trench considered (0.62)
3 FORMULAE
3 x IFL x L x (R COS Φ + X SIN Φ)
Voltage Drop Running = No. of Cable Runs
Where,
IFL = Full load current in Amps
IST = Starting Current in Amps
L = Length in kM
cos Φ = Power Factor
R = Cable Resistance (ohm / km)
X = Cable Reactance (ohm / km)
