A motor 25 KW of 0.7 PF and an efficiency of 85%.

It is supplied from a
board 34m away using thermoplastic pvc singles wired in trunking. The
circuit is protected by HRC fuses and is grouped with one other circuit. The
ambient temperature is 45oC and the Ze = 0.3Ω the PSCC is 16KA calculate
cable size required
(note intallation method 3 from A 25KW, 400V three-phase wound rotor
induction motor has a power factor table 4A1)

Calculate Ib (design current)

Watts = volts x amps x power factor x eff x √r

Current = 25000 / 400 x 0.85 x 0.7 x 1.732

= 60.65 amps

Protection from table 3.3B = 63 Amp BS88

Cable selection process (calculate new current requirement for cable capacity In

Check on grouping factors applicable

Ca = ambient tempreture 45 deg = 0.79
Cg = grouping factor 2 cables = 0.80
Cf = rewirable fuse n/a
Ci = thermal insulation = n/a

It = In / 0.79 x 0.8
=99.68 amps
Cable size required from table 4D1A thermoplastic 70 deg = 35 mm sq
Mv/a/m (z as it is a inductive load) = 1.10

Voltage drop =
(1.10 x 28 x 60.65 / 1000) x 1.732

= 3.23 volts three phase this is less than the 4% of 400 volts max permitted

R1 and R2 =
ZE = 0.3 Ω
The max Zs for a 63 amp fuse to BS 88 From table 41D = 0.86Ω
R1 = 34 (meters) x risistanc of 35 mm
=34 x 0.524 / 1000
R1= 0.0178Ω
R1 + Ze = 0.0178 + 0.3 = 0.317 Ω
Zs – 0.317 = 0.543 Ω
R2 ≤ .0453 Ω

35 x Risistance of R2 ≤ 0.543 Ω

.0532= 35 x risistance of cable

risistance of cable .532 ÷ 35

0.0152 per meter Ω

Ω = 0.0152 × 1000
= 15.2
1.5 mm = 12.10 mm

Zs satisfied

Actual Zs = 0.3 + (R1 + R2) x 1.2 /1000

Fault current = 240 ÷ Zs
