Given:
 Total load current = 630A @ 2500V, 3Phase, 60hz
 Use 3-Single Insulated copper conductor in underground electrical ducts (Three
conductors per electrical duct) based on ambient earth temp. of 20ºC, Electrical
arrangement per figure 3.10.1.60
 Load factor of 100%, Thermal resistance of (rho) of 90%
 Maximum conductor operating temperature of 105ºC
 Determine the minimum size of conductor using the Detail 1, Detail 2 & Detail 3
installation configuration.
Soln.
 Detail 1 = 630A x 1.25 = 787.5A
o Not Applicable 500mm² Type MV105 (710 < 787.5)

 Detail 2 = 787.5A / 3 = 262.5A

275
o Use 125mm² Type MV105 ( ), Rated 2001-5000Volts in Detail 2, Table
262.5
3.10.1.77 of PEC 2009 Edition.

 Detail 3 = 787.5A / 6 = 131.25A

140
o Use 60mm² Type MV105 ( ), Rated 2001-5000Volts in Detail 3, Table
131.25
3.10.1.77 of PEC 2009 Edition.
