    This document provides cable sizing calculations for three different cable runs between electrical equipment: 1. A 1-core, 800 mm2 cable between an 11kV indoor switchgear and a 16MVAr capacitor bank. The calculation shows this cable selection is adequate to carry the required current. 2. A 3-core, 95 mm2 cable between an 11kV outdoor bus and several 2MVAr capacitor steps. Again, this cable is shown to have sufficient current carrying capacity. 3. A separate calculation is provided for a 3-core, 95 mm2 cable connecting 1MVAr capacitor steps. Derating factors are applied and this cable is also found to meet the current requirements.

    The document discusses cable sizing calculations for connections between indoor switchgear, capacitor banks and outdoor bus for different voltage ratings and capacities. It considers parameters like cable ratings, ambient temperature, method of laying and derating factors.

    Cable sizing calculations are presented for 12kV power cables between 11kV indoor switchgear and a 16MVAr capacitor bank, between an 11kV outdoor bus and 2MVAr capacitor steps, and between the outdoor bus and a 1MVAr capacitor step.

    The derating factor considered for cables laid in trench and the final current carrying capacity of the cable after applying this derating factor and ensuring it is greater than the maximum full load current of the connected equipment.
