Voltage Drop Calculation

This document calculates the voltage drop for a proposed busbar system with a rating of 2500 Amps and 400 Volts. It determines the maximum current would be 1300.5196 Amps. It then calculates the resistance and reactance of the busduct at 50 degrees C. Using these values along with the busduct length and load distribution, it determines the voltage drop before and after the first tap off point. The total voltage drop is calculated to be 2.084073%.

BUSDUCT - 1A

Proposed Busbar Rating = 2500 Amps


Line Voltage (V) = 400 Volts
Maximum Demand (MD) = 810.9 kW
Temperature Coeffient of Resistance (α) = 0.00385
Maximum Current (I) = MD*1000 / √3 V Cos Φ
= 810.9*1000 / (1.732*400*0.9)
= 1300.5196 Amps
Resistance (mΩ/M) at 95oC = 0.0222 mΩ/M (As per catalogue)
o
Reactance (mΩ/M) at 95 C = 0.0085 mΩ/M (As per catalogue)
o
Resistance (mΩ/M) at 50 C, R = R95(1+ α(50-95))

= 0.0183539 mΩ/M
Reactance (mΩ/M) at 50oC, X = 0.0085 mΩ/M
Cos Φ = 0.9
Sin Φ = 0.43589
Voltage Drop upto 1st Tap off (∆Va)

Load Distribution Factor (€) = 1


Busduct Length (L) upto 1st Tap off = 156 Meters
-3
Voltage Drop of Full Load (∆Va) = €.√3.L.I.(R Cos Φ + X Sin Φ) 10 Volts

= 7.1063462 Volts
Voltage Drop after 1st Tap off (∆Vb)

Load Distribution Factor (€) = 0.5


Busduct Length (L) After 1st Tap off = 54 Meters
-3
Voltage Drop of Distributed Load (∆Vb) = €.√3.L.I.(R Cos Φ + X Sin Φ) 10 Volts

= 1.2299445 Volts

% Voltage Drop (%V) = (∆Va + ∆Vb)*100 / V


= 2.084073 %
