1.0 Pourpose
This Document present a report on cable sizing calculation for the IOCL RAIPUR 50kW. The
design calculation aims at appropriate selection of cables considering the installation conditions,
ambient temperature, group de-rating & short circuit withstand. The cables sizes & the max
cabel length are calculated based on continuous current rating, ensuring voltage drop is within
permissible limits and checked for thermal short circuit capacity. Cables selections charts have
been prepared & are annexed for reference.

o Cabling on DC side of the system shall be as short as possible to minimize the voltage
drop in the wiring. Voltage drop on the DC side from array to the inverter should not be
more than 2%. In the light of this fact, the cross-sectional area of the cable should ba so
chosen such that the voltage drop introduced by it shall be within 2% of the system
voltage at peak power. Necessary design calculation in this regard duly certified by
Chartered Electrical Engineer shall be submitted to EIC for approval.
o For the AC cabling from inverter/PUC to existing feeder Bus, Armored PVC insulated
Cables shall be used. The sizing of cables shall be based on the maximum load flow
considering the voltage drop within the permissible limit of 3% & maximum short ckt
withstand capability. The design calculation for sizing of the cable cable duly certified
by chartered electrical engineer shall be submitted for EIC approval. The complete cable
shall be laid through trench or the tray (including preparation of trench and trays with
manpower & material, if required) & proper arrangement shall be made for end
termination, glanding and lugging with supply of material
o Overload protection is to be provided. Design overload capacity of 125% of continuous
rating for 10 sec has to be ensured. The principle aim for this protection is to reduce the
tolerable value before it reaches the PV or other subsystem components. The source
of over voltage can be lightning or any other atmospheric disturbance or internal system
disturbance.
