To ensure safe operation and work on full load without being dame provi Besides this proper sizing help us to withstand the worst short circuit Jectrical4uonlin om/electri circuit/) current, and ensure device safety during operation,In this article, we will discuss methodologies and other related parameters regarding cable sizing calculation. And of curse we will give a simple example to choose a cable. Cable Sizing Calculation Steps The process of the size calculation method consists of six steps. 1. In the very first step, we collect data about cable, load (https://www.electricalduonline.com/what-is-electrical- definition: and environmental conditions. lo 2. The second sten is to determine the minimum cable size for ampacity-mean/). 3. The next step is to determine the minimum size of the cable based on voltage dropcalculation/). 4, Determine the minimum size of cable for short circuit (https://www.electrical4uonline.com/why-is-a-short- ) conditions. 5. The fifth step includes determining the minimum size of the cable in case of earth fault loop impedance. 6. The final step is to select the minimum size of cable in the previous steps. Ihave created an android app to help you in selecting cables, The app is 100% FREE, it has the most common cables tables. Such as current ampacity tables, short circuit tables, derating ‘factors tables and more. These tables are simple in design to make it easy for you to use it. I will be happy if you install the app from here (https://play. google.com/store/apps/details? -om.androny.egy.cables_ampacity). —clectrical4uonline Now we will discuss each step in detail to find the correct size of the cable. Example Of Cable Sizing Step By Step ‘Assume we have: * power of load, P= 80KW* The load is at 200 meters distance of source * Three phase, V = 415V * power factor is, pf= 0.8 + 5% allowable voltage drop * direct buried in ground + | meter burial depth * 35°C Ground temperature * one cable per trench Ok, let’s choose the cable step by step Load current I = (Power in watt) / (1.732 - V- pf) = (80 1000) / (1.732 - 415- 0.8) =139A Det« Fron! example conditions. For more details about derating factors read our article What is derating factors of underground cables? (hitps://www.electrical4uonline.com/what-is-derating-factors-for-underground-cables/) * correction factor of ground temperature = 0.89 * correction factor of soil = 1.05 * correction factor of cable burial depth = 1.0 Total derating factor = 0.89 * 1.05 * 1.0=0.93 From cables ampacity tables. Selecting Copper, XLPE, 3*50+25 mm?, its current is 185 A, Derating this current 185 * 0.93 = 172 A Calculating voltage drop of this cable, VD = 0.715 MV/A/M, from voltage drop tables, VD = 0.715 * distance*load current = (0.715/1000)*200*139 =19.877 V ‘The allowable voltage drop = 415 * 5% = 20.75V. This means that the cable is accepted because the voltage drop is in limits (5% = 20.75 V) Final the I¢ Important Notes: * In this example we skipped short circuit calculations, as it’s much complicated and depend on many factors,* Voltage drop and The current carrying ampacity of the cable which are 0.715 MV/A/M, and 185A, are on my android app “CABLES TABLES (https://www.electrical4uonline.com/cables-tables-electricians- app)". Imade it my self. Conclusion * Choosing power cable of electrical loads depend on load current, cable ampacity, installation conditions ete. * Cables currents tables are in “CABLES TABLES (https://www.electricalduonline.com/cables-tables-electricians- appl)” android app. * Derating factors should be applied to the cable current. * Voltage drop value should be in the accepted limits. * If the cable voltage drop is higher than the limits, then we choose the larger sized cable. Install My 100% FREE Android Apps I was fresh graduated, from electrical engineering faculty, when I realized that I need many electrical formulas, tables and caleyI never like memorizing these stuff and carrying cables catalogues every where. So I created my own simple custom android apps to help my self. It feels great that I have my own solution! ‘Then, | published these apps, FOR FREE, 100% FREE, on google play store, to help you at your work. Install the apps, No Fees, No credit card needed. * Cables Ampacity Tables App (http: id=com.androny.egy.cables_ampa play.google.com/store/apps/detail: &hi=en US&gI=US) we need cable ampacity almost every day, in this app I made it easy for you to check cable ampacity. * Fast Electri c lator App. (hi id: one Tuse for electrical calculations, I always count on this baby the most.id=com.androny.egy.motorscalculator.motorscal en&gl=US) a simple app for electrical motor calculations. * Circuit breaker Selection App htt n&gI=US) This one is a fast way to determine circuit breaker sizing. * Cables tables (https://play.goo; id=com.androny.egy.cables_tables&hl=en&gI=US) cables .com/store/apps/det: most used tables, I use this one al the time. I will be happy if you use one of them, share it and rate it on the market. This way you help me continue updating the apps. > YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE | A we (https, (https ® (https. (https.
