ACSR CONDUCTOR SIZING CALCULATION:

ACSR CONDUCTOR RABBIT: (50 Sq.mm.) [REF. CAPCAB INDIA CATALOGUE]

Total Load=158A (For 8 MVA Approx Load)

Supply Voltage=33 kv

Full Load Current=(MVA Capacity)/(1.732 x 33 kV)

Current Rating required = Full Load Current / Derating Factor 140A

For Chosen Conductor Resistance at 20° C ohm/km is 0.552

Temperature Correction for AC Resistance at 65oC

RT = R20[1+a(65oC - 20oC)]

Where a = 0.0036 [Thermal Cofficient of Alluminium]

RT = 0.552 (1+0.004x45)W kM-1 0.65136 Ohm/kM

RT for 40 M = RL = 0.026054Ohm

Reactance at 50Hz in Ohm/kM 0.3185

Distance to be covered (L)= 40M

Reactance for 750M in Ohm (XL)= 0.238875
