Notes
(Ci sizes based on maximum permissible per NEC Table 450. 3B) and ae for 80% rated thermal magnetic CIBS, Primary/Sesondary
‘coordination ss taken into consideration. Fuse size are for dual element time delay RK-S fuses
Use fuse ies for 100% rated CBs.
Lower CIB values are commonly used 0 align with other equipment ratings. in particular, 30 KVA: primary = 4SA, secondary = 100,
swith 80% rated C/Bs, 75 KVA: primary ~ 100A, secondary = 225A with 80% rated C’Bs; 112.5 KVA. primary = 150A, secondary = 350A,
‘with 80% ated C/Bs: 130 KVA: primary = 200A, secondary = 400A with 80% rated CBs, 500 KVA: primary = 400A, secondary =
500A with 80% ated CBs,
Equipmen grounding conductor size is based on NEC Table 250,122 and assumes separtely derived ground at the ransformer secondary,
Recommended wire size istased on NEC Table 310.16 (75°C types THWN and XHHW), 240 3(B) and 240, 3(C). Wire sizes may need to
be nereased due to voltage drop
“Maximum conduit ill depends onthe wire insulation type and the type of conduit. These values have been calculated for conductors of
the same size and are given in tabular form in Annex C of NFPA 70, which has been included in Section 15 of this book for convenient
reference
