Dear Customers, DESIGN GUIDELINES Distribution Network (11 kV ~22 kV) Design Requirements & Guidelines for MV (11 ‘The Authority is constantly endeavoring to improve its services to all Customers. We thank you for your valuable co-operation and co-ordination with us to provide you the best services within minimum time limit, ‘The following revised guidelines are issued for taking into consideration, as applicable during the design stage of the projects:- Ring Supply consisting of two feeders (two-feed ring) is mainly granted for power supply as normal feeding arrangement, Three-feed ring arrangement may be adopted for cases where all MV switchgears/ RMUs are installed in one location to ensure the specific supply reliability For reliable power supply; N-1 offline criteria is considered. Hence, in case of power failure in one of the feeders, the other feeder should be capable to meet whole demand until the repair work is completed (6 hours maximum duration). DEWA standard 11 kV cable sizes are 3/C 300mm? Copper XLPE, 3/C 3/C 240mm? Aluminum XLPE. DEWA standard 22 KV cable size is 3/C 300mm?” Aluminum XLPE. ‘The maximum sustained load of LIkV feeder is 175A/3MW (for 300mm? Copper XLPE cables — summer rating). The maximum sustained load of 11kV feeder is 160A/2.7MW (for 240mm? Copper XLPE cables summer rating). ‘The maximum sustained load of 22kV feeder is 165A/5.6MW (for 300mm? Aluminum XLPE cables — summer rating). For bulk loads such as furnaces, district cooling or any other load type requiring direct HV supply (private equipments), space for metering units at party's premises/substation shall be considered. ‘Necessary documents, drawings, SLD shall be submitted for DEWA’s comments/approval at design stage. Single unit load demand shall not exceed the maximum sustained current of DEWA’s MV cable/feeder, which is maximum 175A/3MW for LIKV feeder and 1654/3.6MW for 22kV feeder. Parallel operation of DEWA MV feeders is not allowed at any circumstances, and accordingly proper interlocking (Electrical & Mechanical) shall be provided where required. Standby generators are not allowed to operate in parallel with DEWA network. Therefore, proper interlocking shall be provided where required. 240mm? Copper XLPE, and 2. Voltage drop shall not exceed 5% during normal operation at medium voltage level. For HV motors operating at 3.3KV, 6.6 kV, LIKV voltage, voltage dip calculations during motor starting must be prepared by party along with motor specification, starting characteristics, number of motor starts per day, drawings, SLD, etc for DEWA’s comments and approval at design stage. n Contd....P2 PO Box S64 Dual - United Arb Fitted 4 324 4 48 Fax 32481104324 8111 yudlenO 526-48 4 ala dala ayyolMloy gr 5O4..s4r> Cable KAHRABA, DUBAL Tx 45838 Kahr EM e email dewattdewa gave dewa@dewa gov2e gigiMagal «alge ASKS yas woredewagovae DUBAI ELECTRICITY & WATER AUTHORITY Consultants/Contractors/Landlords/Project Developers Dubai Continued Sheet SMCS/995/2008 21.12.2008 13, For loads that may inject harmonics to DEWA’s network, harmonic study shall be prepared by party and approved by DEWA at the design stage, whereas, the total Harmonic Distortion (THD) shall be within permissible limits as per 19 standard, © 5% Total harmonies distortion (THD%), for voltage and individual harmonic distortion to be less. than 3%, © For current distortion, refer to table below: iS Individual Harmonic Order | TscMl
