2006-4851 Rev. 1

A Input Data as per Specifications 1 2 3 4 5 6 Nominal System Voltage Highest System Voltage Short Circuit capacity Ground temperature Soil thermal resistivity Maximum depth of laying : : : : : : 3.3 kV 3.6 kV 25 kA for 1 second 40 C 2.5 C m/W 1.0 m

B Calculation B1 Required cross section of cable for short circuit withstanding capability The new cable shall withstand a Fault level of 25 kA for 1 sec. Cable cross section of 300 sq.mm is able to withstand the fault level = 42.9 kA for 1 sec. ( Refer cable catalogue in Attachment-1, sheet 3 ) For adequacy check of continuous current capacity & voltage drops, following steps are utilised ( Refer attached sheet for calculation ) B2 Derated current : Ic x TDF where Ic = Current rating of the proposed cable TDF = Total Derating factor for the cables laid in ground : ( 3 x I x (R cos + X sin ) x L / NR) where I = Full load current R = Per metre resistance of cable X = Per metre reactance of cable cos = 0.8 sin = 0.6 L = Length in metres NR = Number of cables run in parallel

B3 Actual Voltage drop

B4 Allowable Voltage drop (as per clause 8.3.2 of QP Spec. ES.2.03.0001, rev.A) a) During normal operation = 5%

B5 Minimum required current rating

: Iflc / T.D.F Where Iflc = Full load current T.D.F = Total Derating factor for the cables laid in ground

C Result C1 3.3kV grade, 3C 300 sq.mm CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC cable is selected for the New MOL VSDS Input transformer.

Voltage Drop at steady State Voltage drop = mV x I x L/1000 in volts % Voltage drop = voltage drop x 100/ operating voltage Where, I = Full load current in Amps. L = Cable length in mtrs. mV = Approx. Voltage drop /amp/mtr
5% voltage drop is considered as the limit for the normal condition checks.

Voltage drop During motor Starting Voltage drop = SC x mV x I x L/1000 in volts in volts % Voltage drop = voltage drop x 100/ operating voltage Where, SC = Multiplying factor for starting current
20% voltage drop is considered as the limit for the starting condition checks.
