    This document provides information and calculations for intermittent loading of electric cable. It includes a form to input current and time periods and then calculates equivalent RMS current and cable utilization factor. It also discusses short time current rating of conductors based on area, current, and operating/maximum temperatures over time. Finally, it lists cable/conductor sizes with their properties like diameter, area, and bus bar ratings with widths and areas.

    Short Time Current Rating of Conductor

    Copper Conductors - Calculation of Time


    1000000 A = Conductor area - cmils
    1327 I= Short Circuit/Overload Current - RMS Amps
    T1 = Operating Temperature (degree C)
    60 T2 = Maximum Temperature (degree C)
    #VALUE! t = Time of Short Circuit or Overload Load Current (in seconds)

    Copper Conductors - Calculation of Cmils


    64879 A = Conductor area - cmils
    1327 I= Short Circuit Current - RMS Amps
    50 T1 = Operating Temperature (degree C)
    100 T2 = Maximum Temperature (degree C)
    5 t = Time of Short Circuit or Overload Current (in seconds)

    Aluminum Conductors - Calculation of Time


    500000 A = Conductor area - cmils
    2042 I= Short Circuit Current - RMS Amps
    60 T1 = Operating Temperature (degree C)
    90 T2 = Maximum Temperature (degree C)
    32.25 t = Time of Short Circuit or Load Current (in seconds)

    299.5413201956 t = Time of Short Circuit - 0.01 to 10 seconds
