SIZING
Power Cables:
Power cables are classified in to two types, High, Medium / Low voltage
cables.
415/240V System.
HV Power Cables:
These shall be 1100 volt grade for general purpose PVC/Heat resistant
PVC cables are used.

PILC Cables
Insulating Materials:
The insulating materials for cables are classified as
a) Paper,
b) Thermosetting Compounds,
c) Thermoplastic Compound,
Thermosetting Compounds:
d) Silicon Rubber.
Thermoplastic Compound:
Synthetic compounds which have definite melting temperature,
Therefore at higher temperature these compounds will be soften &
become semi liquid.
b) Poly ethylene,
c) Teflon/ PTFE.
Poly Ethylene has very good melting point & poor corona
EPR cables are not considered because it is costlier than XLPE cables.
Conductors:
Classifications:
ARMOUR:
Flame proof wiring in coal handling plant, fuel handling plant etc.
For normal Application the armour cables shall comprise of single wire/strip.
Double steel wire armouring shall be specified for special application like long
vertical runs of cables on bridges, submerissible cables etc..
The cable shall carry the full load current continuously under specified
ambient temperature & other conditions of installation.
PILC cables
The base current rating for PVC & XLPE will be based on
normal operating conductor temperature of 70& 90C.
The Short circuit conductor temperature for PVC & PILC will be
160C & for XLPE cables it will be 250C.
a)
: 150C cm/w
b)
Ground Temperature
: 30C
c)
: 40C
d)
Depth of laying :
1100 Volt grade cable : 750 mm
3.3 - 11 KV cable : 900 mm
Rating Factors:
The base current ratings of cables shall be derated / uprated for the
following conditions
The thermal resistivity of soil data for the project site is usually not
available.
As such, the rating factor may be taken as 1.0, unless data to contrary
is available.
The ambient to be taken for cable sizing shall be 5C less than the
maximum ambient temperature of the Project site rounded off to next
higher multiple of 5.
Depth of Laying
To Calculate the Overall derating factor of the multi core cable in air
The cables protected by circuit breakers shall be rated for short circuit
duty.
Ish : The maximum fault current of the system shall be taken. The
breaker interrupting current rating need not be taken.
(t) : The time 't' shall be based on the maximum time taken by the
breaker of the circuit to clear the fault on the operation of primary short
circuit protection.
The fault clearing time is 0.16 Sec. (Breaker to Motor) & (Breaker to
Trans.)
K: The value of k will be depends upon the type & conductor of the
cable
The value of K for PVC Al & CU cable will be 75 & 112 Amps/mm2
The value of K for XLPE Al & CU cable will be 94 & 140 Amps/mm2
The voltage drop in the cable shall be within permissible limits for
satisfactory running & starting of the motor.
%Drop =
(3^(1/2)*V*100)/(kV*1000)
The voltage drop between PCC and MCC for full load current may be
limited to 2%.
(3^(1/2)*V*100)/(kV*1000)

Heat Resistant PVC cables, Coaxial cables & Fibre Optic cables.
The 2.5mm Sq. copper conductors shall be used for the following
application
The 1.5mm Sq. copper conductors may be used for the following
applications.
