Machine Rating 350 KW
System Voltage 6.6 KV ( UE)
1
Power Factor 0.8 p.f
Hence, Load Current 38.27 Amps
System Fault Level 50 KA
Time Period for Fault Level 1 Sec
2
Therefore System fault level
50.00 KA
for 1 Sec
Hence Size of the
Conductor 1C X 70 Sq.mm. Aluminium
3
Short circuit Rating of 70
Sq.mm. is 66KA for 1sec
Current Rating of 1C X 70
4 Sq.mm. For Trefoil and laid 212 Amps
in air

When Laid in Air at 46 factor for

Deg .C in Trefoil Touching derating
5 0.78
condition & bonded at both ( Severe Conditions
ends. considered )

6 Derating Current 165.36 Amps

7 No. of Runs Required 0.2 Runs
1 Runs of 1C X 70 Sq.mm.
Hence the Size of
8 Aluminium Conductor XLPE
the Conductor
Armoured cable.

Note :
1. Hence, 1Run X 1C X 630 Sq.mm. Aluminium Armoured Cable XLPE , 11KV (UE ) suffuice
the requirement. Confirmed.
2. Voltage Drop Calculations:
Drop = 1.732 x I X R
Where I = Line Current / Phase
R = Resistance of one core only - 0.0465 Ohm/Km
Voltage 2.980 Volts
