    This document provides cable sizing calculations for a new HV cable and LV cables to be installed at the Fahahil substation. It includes input data such as system voltages and fault capacity. For the HV cable, a 300 sqmm copper cable is selected that can withstand the 25kA fault level. Derating factors are applied to calculate voltage drops during normal and starting operations, which meet specifications. For the LV cables, cable sizes are selected based on full load currents and length with voltage drops also meeting limits.

    The document discusses cable sizing calculations for different feeders of a VSDS system, considering parameters like short circuit capacity, voltage drop limits, cable ratings, derating factors etc.

    The cable sizing calculation is being performed for different feeders of a VSDS (Variable Speed Drive System), including the input transformer and inverters.

    The derating factors considered for cable current ratings include ground temperature, soil thermal resistivity, depth of cable laying, grouping of cables etc.

    LV CABLE SIZING
    Derating factors :
    The following De-rating factors are considered for LV cable sizing.:
    Laid In Ground
    Ground Temperature @ 400C =

    0.82

    (refer Table 3 of Ducab catalogue in


    Attachment-2, sheet 3)

    Soil Thermal resistivity = 2.5 deg.C m/W

    0.74

    (refer Table 4 of Ducab catalogue in


    Attachment-2, sheet 3)

    Depth of installation @ 700 mm=

    0.96

    (refer Table 5 of Ducab catalogue in


    Attachment-2, sheet 4)

    Grouping of cables for 5 circuits

    0.59

    Attachment-2, sheet 5)

    Hence Total De-rating factor for Cables =

    AxBxCxD
    0.344

    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.
