    The document summarizes the design criteria and calculations for sizing electrical cables for a feeder system in accordance with international codes and standards. The system uses a TN-S earthing system with a separate neutral and protective conductor. Cable sizing is based on a 7 KVA load over a 106 meter feeder with a voltage drop allowance of 1%. Calculations determine a required feeder size of 16 mm2 copper cable to limit the voltage drop to less than 1%.

    I - Codes & Design Criteria

    The system is designed in accordance with the following international codes & standards.
    1 IEE Wiring Reg. 16th Edition
    2 IEC (60364)

    The earthing system used is TN-S, having separate neutral and protective
    conductors throught the network.

    The maximum voltage drop is considered as 4% between source and the


    fixed current using device (refer clause 525-01-02, pg 81 of IEE Reg.)

    Allowable Voltage Drop:


    Main Feeder = 1%
    Sub Feeders = 3% upto load

    Design Air Ambient Temperature considered is 50 Deg. C


    Design Ground Ambient Temperature considered is 40 Deg. C
    Design Soil resistivity considered is 2.5

    II - Load Calculation, Cable Sizing and Voltage Drop Design Formulae

    Design current calculation :


    According to IEE Wiring Regulation 16th Edition Chapter 43 Paragraph 433 to
    434 Page 45, 46 and Appendix 4 Paragraph2 to 6 Page 174 – 176, design
    current shall be determined in accordance with

    kVA
    In = √3VL Amps

    In
    Ib = Amps
    Ct x Cg x Cd x Cs
    Where:
    Ib < In < Iz
    ( the following abbreviations have been used in the attached
    calculations)
    Ib = Design Current
    In = Current rating (trip setting) of Protective Device
    Iz = Current Carrying Capacities of Any Conductor
    Ct = Adjustment for Ambient Temp. ( Table 4C1, IEE Page 187 )
    Cg = Adjustment for Grouping Factor ( Table 4B1, IEE Page 185 )
    Cd = Adjustment for depth of laying ducts
    Cs = Adjustment for soil resistivity
    VL = Line Voltage

    Voltage Drop Calculation for Feeders @ 3Phase System:

    L x I x mV
    Vd = Volts
    n x 1000

    Where:
    Vd = Voltage Drop in Volts
    L = Route length of cable in meters
    I = Current in amperes per phase
    mV = Tabulated mv/amp/m.
    n = Number of Parallel Feeders
    Percent Voltage Drop :

    Vd x 100
    Vd =
    VL
