    This document provides calculations to determine the heat loss of a 33kV outdoor roof busing panel and the required heating for its enclosure. It first calculates the heat loss of the panel to be around 400 Watts based on the current, resistance of the busbars and contacts. It then calculates the required heating power of the enclosure based on its surface area, material properties, temperature differential and any existing heat sources. The required heating is determined to be 863 Watts which can be achieved using four 200 Watt space heaters.

    CALCULATION FOR HEAT LOSS FOR 33kV OUTDOOR ROOF BUSHING


    PANEL
    The following formula can be used to calculate the heat loss of the 33kV VCB panel

    W = I2xR

    Where I is the continuous RMS current in amperes= 630A.

    R= R1+R2

    R1= рl/A

    R1= Resistance of busbar per phase

    R2=contact Resistance of 33kV VCB per phase

    р= Resistivity of copper

    L= Length of copper busbar per phase

    A= cross section area of copper busbar

    ϴf= Ambient temperature + temperature rise

    Temperature rise= 50 ◦ C

    Ambient temperature = 40◦ C

    In our case

    I = 630A RMS

    L= 6 m

    A= 50x10mm

    р = 1.78x10-8 Ωm for copper

    = 1.78x10-8 x6/500x10-6

    =0.0002136

    Rϴf= R20[1+α(ϴf-20)]

    R115= R20[1+0.00386(90-20)]

    =0.0002136(1+.00386(70))

    Resistance of busbar per phase R1=0.000279Ω

    Contact resistance of 33kV VCB per phase R2=50µΩ

    R=R1+R2= 0.000279+0.00005

    =0.000329

    =I2*R= 6302*0.00021

    Heat loss per phase = 130.58 W

    Total Heat loss for all three phase 33kV VCB Panel = 3*130.58

    =391.78 W

    Hence Total Heat loss of the 33kV VCB panel will be around 400 watts.

    Heater calculation for Enclosure


    To determine the heating requirement of an enclosure

    STEP 1: Determine the Surface Area (A) of your enclosure which is exposed to open air.

    Enclosure Dimensions:

    Height = 2.390meters

    Width = 1.35meters

    Depth = 2.150meters

    Surface area is 2X2.39x2.150 + 1.35x2.150+ 1.35x2.390

    A = 16.4m2

    STEP 2: Choose the Heat Transmission Coefficient (k) for your enclosure’s material of construction.

    Painted steel =5.5 W/ (m2K)

    Stainless steel =3.7 W/ (m2K)

    Aluminium = 12 W/ (m2K)

    Plastic or insulated stainless = 3.5 W/(m2K)

    k = 5.5 W/ (m2K)

    STEP 3: Determine the Temperature Differential (ΔT).

    A. Desired enclosure interior temp. = 25◦C

    B. Lowest ambient (outside) temp. = 18◦C

    Subtract B from A = Temp. diff. (ΔT) = 7◦C

    STEP 4: Determine Heating Power (PV), if any (generated from existing components, i.e. transformer,
    busbar).

    PV = 400W

    STEP 5: Calculate the Required Heating Power (PH) for your enclosure based on the above values.

    If enclosure is located inside:

    PH = (A x k x ΔT) - PV

    If enclosure is located outside:

    PH = 2 x (A x k x ΔT) - PV

    PH= 2 x (16.4 x 5.5 x 7) -400

    =863W

    We will provide four numbers of 200 Watts Space Heaters to achieve 863W.
