    This document provides calculations for selecting HV cables for various applications at a power plant. It calculates motor feeder cable sizing for pumps rated at 1650kW and 4000kW, a cable for an ash handling transformer rated at 1.6MVA, and cables for a station service transformer rated at 2.5MVA and a tie feeder rated for 3150A. For each application, it checks the cable current capacity and calculates voltage drop to ensure it is below limits for normal and starting operations. Cables between 185mm2 and 300mm2 are selected based on the calculations.

    MINIMUM CROSS SECTION AREA FOR FAULT CURRENT WITHSTAND CAPACITY Depending upon the faut current magnitude and duration, the minimum conductor size shall be arrived using formula: A = Ik x K1x K2 x t

    where, Ik A t = Fault current in kA (40) = Minimum cross section area required in Sq. mm = Duration of fault current in second. 0.16 sec for Out going feeder 1 sec for Tie feeder K1 K2 T1 T2 K2 = Constant (6.76 For Alminium) = log((+T2)/( +T1))-1/2 = temperature coefficient of electrical resistance at zero deg. C (228 For Al) = Initial temp before short circuit in deg. C(90 for XLPE) = Final temp. After short circuit in deg. C (250 for XLPE) =log((228+250)/(228+90))-1/2 = 1.56 Minimum cross section area required for Tie feeder (A) = 40x 6.76x 1.56x1 = 421.82 Sq.mm

    Selected cross section area for tie feeder is 630 Sq. mm Minimum cross section area required for Outgoing feeder (A) = 40x 6.76x 1.56x0.16 = 168.72 Sq.mm Selected cross section area for outgoing feeder is 185 Sq. mm

    PERMISSIBLE CURRENT RATINGS

    The de-ration effect due to temperature correction and grouping has been considered by increasing the full load current by the factors imposed by these conditions. These increased current values are compared with the rated current carrying capacity of the cable. Hence Rated current carrying capacity of the cable must be greater than the load current after derating factor.
