Objectives
1. To determine the size of electrical cable from the main source
(Generator/Power Grid) / Distribution Panel to the terminal of
end user equipment.
2. To determine the type of electrical cable to be used for Power
and Control Cables (6.6kV, 3.3kV, 415V, 240V, 220V DC),
Lighting Cables and Grounding Cables
For the sizing of cables, the following aspects shall be taken into
consideration:
Thermal short circuit capacity
Voltage Drop (during running & motor starting)
Current Rating
Maximum cable loop impedance for earth fault.
Cable Let Through Energy
Breaker Let Through Energy
for 415V AC
for 240V AC and 220V DC
