First: Cable Sizing

Input Data
system = 3
( U ) No Load Voltage
o = 415
Power Factor ( P.F ) = 0.80
Rated Voltage ( Vn ) = 400
Ampient Temperature = 25
Max.conductor Temperature = 90
Route length of Cable ( L ) = 100
Load Power ( PL ) = 75,500
Rated Current ( I L ) = PL / ( √3 x Vn x PF ) = 136
Cable selection is: 1 x ( 4 Core x 70
Cable Ampacity = Iz = 213 A

INSTALLATION METHOD INSTALLATION DETAILS

Multi-Core Cable No Adjacent Circuit

In The Ground Dry Soil

In Conduit

Calculation & formula

Air Temperature factor = 0.96
Grouping Factor = 0.90
Rated current of Cable = 213
O.CF = 1.25
De- rated current of Cable = Air Temp. factor x
Grouping Factor x Rated current of Cable = 184

De-rated current of cable > Rated Current ( I L ) x O.C.F

184 A > 170 A

Second: Voltage Drop Calculations

AC Resistance of Cable ( RAC ) = 0.321
inductance of Cable ( X ) = 0.08
P.F = cos(φ) = 0.80
Sin (φ) = 0.600
( V D ) Voltage drop of cable ( L ) per Amp. Per legnth = √3 × ( R
(AC)90°×cos(φ) + X × sin(φ) )
= 0.53 V/Amp/Km

(VD Cable) Voltage drop of cable ( L ) = (V D x I L

= 7.20

( V D% ) = (V D cable *100 / V n) = 1.80

1.80 % < 2.5 %

Third: C.B selection

Rated Current ( I L ) = PL / ( √3 x Vn x PF ) = 136

Cable Ampacity = Iz = 213
Three pole rated current = A
( I L ) ≤ Three pole rated current ≤ (Iz)
