9.0 CALCULATIONS
9.1 Full Load Current
 Full load current (I) for non-motor loads

KW*103/ (√3*V* CosΦ)
 Full load current (I) for motor loads

KW*103 / (√3*V* CosΦ * η)

(Note: Factor √3 shall be replaced by Factor 2.0 for 1-phase voltage drops.)
9.3 Short Circuit Withstand:
The minimum cross sec?on of any cable shall be such as to ensure that no damage occurs to the
cable in case of a short circuit un?l fault is cleared by protec?ve device such as breaker or fuse.
 For short circuit clearance dura?ons of 0.1 sec. ≤ t < 5 sec., the following formula is used
for calcula?ng the minimum cable sizes:
K²S² ≥ I²t
√
i.e.
 For short circuit clearance dura?ons (< 0.1 sec.) of current limi?ng devices, k²S² must be
greater than the value of the transmiSed energy (I²t) specified by manufacturer of the
protec?ve device.
S Cross Sec?onal area in sq. mm

I Effec?ve short circuit current in amperes
t Dura?on of short circuit in seconds
k Cable characteris?c constant, based on resis?vity, temperature coefficient,
hea?ng capacity of conductor material and type of insula?on, k = 143 (as per Table
43A of IEC 60364-4-43) for copper conductors with XLPE insula?on, with 90°C
ini?al conductor temperature and 250°C final conductor temperature.
Maximum expected ra?ng for the outgoing MCCB Motor feeder catering to 900-B906-PAU-03A from LV
900-P412E is 150 A.
Maximum let-through energy value of 150A MCCB is 0.48x106 and Min. standard cable size is 6 sq. mm.
(Refer Appendix-3).
Page | 8
As per Cable sizing, doc. No. PM210011-NUI900-EC1-00020, the selected cable size for the 150A breaker
is 70 mm2.
k2S2 ≥ I2t
1432 702 ≥ 0.48x106
100 106 ≥ 0.48x106
Criteria of k2S2 ≥ I2t is sa?sfied, hence selected conductor size is acceptable.
10.0 SAMPLE CALCULATIONS
(a) System Data
Load Name = 900G06-P730A

Feed from = 900-P412
Length of Feeder = 10 meter
Demand Load = 59.03 kVA
Voltage = 400 V
Frequency = 60 Hz
The opera?ng characteris?cs of a device protec?ng a cable against overload shall sa?sfy
the two following condi?ons as per SBC_401, clause 43-3.1:
Condi?on 1 Ib ≤ In ≤ Iz and
Condi?on 2 I2 ≤ 1.45 x Iz
Where
Ib = Full load current for the circuit
Iz = Con?nuous current-carrying capacity of the cable (adjusted ampacity)
In = Rated current of the protec?ve device
I2 is the current ensuring the effec?ve opera?on in the conven?onal ?me of protec?ve device
(conven?onal tripping current I2 = 1.45 In is assumed, The current I2 ensuring the effec?ve
opera?on of the protec?ve device shall be provided by the manufacturer.)
Note- For the adjustable protec?ve devices, the rated current In is the current seang
selected.
Page | 9
(b) (Step-1) Circuit breaker sizing
Full load current (Ib) = KVA*103 / (√3*V)

= 19.93 * 103 / (√3*400)
= 85.20 Amp
Nearest Nominal (In)
With 20% spare = 125A
Breaker Size (In) = 125 AT (125AF)
Since the selected breaker size is more than the Full load current, so the selec?on of breaker is
complying the condi?on 1.
(c) (Step-2) Continuous current-carrying capacity of the cable
Installa?on method Indoor Cable tray

Overall de-ra?ng factor 0.89 (Refer to dera?ng factor
calcula?on)
Demand Load 59.03 kVA
Voltage 400 V
Full load current (Ib) 85.20 Amp
Op?on 1
Ampacity of 4C x 70 Cu Cable 173 Amp (Refer the Appendix-2)
Con?nuous Ampacity aber de-ra?ng, Iz = 173x 0.89 = 153.97 Amp.
Op?on 2
Ampacity of 4C x 50 Cu Cable 139Amp (Refer the Appendix-2)
Op?on 3
Ampacity of 4C x 35Cu Cable 35 Amp (Refer the Appendix-2)
Considering the future load/addi?onal requirements we are proposing 16mm2 cables

which can carry a full load current up to 65.86 Amps aber de-ra?ng.
Page | 10
Checking for Compliance the condi;on 1 and condi;on 2
Iz = 153.97 Amp (Refer the sec?on 10. c)

In = 125 AT (Refer the sec?on 10. b)
Since Iz ≥ In as per above data, so the selected breaker and cable size complying the
condi?on 1.
Now, The conven?onal tripping current I2 = 1.45 In =1.45 x 125= 181.25 Amp.
Condi?on 2 is I2 ≤ 1.45 x Iz
181.25 amp ≤ 1.45 x 153.97 amp
181.25 ≤ 223.25
So, the compliance of condi?on 2 is also verified.
(d) (Step-3) Checking the cable for the Voltage drop
%Voltage Drop = [√3 * L * Ib * (R CosΦ + X SinΦ) ÷ (V * N * 1000)] * 100
L =10 meter
V = 400 V
R = 0.343 Ohms/Kilometer (Refer the Appendix no-2)
X = 0.086 Ohms/Kilometer (Refer the Appendix no-2)
CosΦ = 0.85 (Assumed)
SinΦ = √ (1 – Cos2Φ) = 0.526
Ib = 85.20 Amp
N = No. of parallel cable Runs
%Voltage Drop = [√3 * L * Ib * (R CosΦ + X SinΦ) ÷ (V * N * 1000)] * 100
= [√3 * 10 * 85.20 * (0.343 x 0.85 + 0.086 x 0.526) ÷ (400 * 1 * 1000)] * 100

= 0.12
Hence for the selected cable (70 mm2 Cu Cable), the voltage drop is within limit.

GUIDELENES FOR LOAD CAPACITY

The loading of the cable must be so limited that, at any point of the cable installation, all the
heat produced in the conductors under set conditions can be safety dissipated to the ambient
medium. Experience has shown that cables may be loaded as indicated in the tables The values
stated in Table no. 1 for cables laid in ground are based on standard service conditions mostly
used in power systems of electricity boards.
Load Factor : 1.0

Thermal resistivity of soil : 2.0 Km/W (dry area)
Ground temperature : 40oC
Air temperature : 55oC
No. of Cables/System :1
Laying depth : 0.7 meters
The current values apply to cables laid direct in the ground, bedded in sand if necessary and
covered with table tiles. It is also assumed that any pole mounted distribution points will be
shielded from direct sunlight.
The values given apply to cables laid in free air and shaded areas at 55⁰C. It is assumed here
that heat dissipation by convection and radiation will not be impeded, that the ambient
temperature will not rise and that there are no external heat sources. These conditions can be
taken as met if:
• The cable is laid at least "one cable diameter" from the nearest wall, floor or ceiling.
• The spacing between adjacent cable is at least twice the cable diameter.
• Cables being laid above each other have a vertical separation of at least twice the cable
diameter, the cable systems are at least four cable diameters or 30 cm.
• The rise in ambient temperature due to the dissipating heat is taken into consideration or
adequate space and ventilation is provided.
The leading ampacities determined according to IEC 60287 or CENELEC 64 will be identical.
They are based on the following figures for the thermal resistivity of the insulating materials.
PVC : 6.0 Km/W
XLPE : 3.5 Km/W
We also hold computerized calculations for the most varied working conditions and can
determine the maximum permissible load currents for almost any practical service condition.

CABLE SIZING CALCULATION

NEOM Green Hydrogen

NEOM Industrial City, KSA

2.0 REFERENCE CODES AND STANDARDS

3.0 CABLE VOLTAGE RATINGS

4.0 DATA INPUT

 PM210011-NUI900-ES1- 00010 - Electrical Panel Schedule (Sheet 1 of 3)

5.0 DESIGN CONSIDERATION

*Three core cables shall be with Steel Wire Armoured

5.4 Cables route length is taken from :

6.0 CRITERIA FOR CABLE SELECTION

The sizing of power cable shall be based on the following considera?ons:

C. Voltage drop during running condi?on

D. Voltage drop during motor star?ng condi?on(for Motor loads).

7.0 DERATING FACTORS

For mul?-core cable installa?on in cable tray:

Cable laid in cable

Considered average factor

4 No. of multi core

3 Total De-rating Factor 0.89

8.0 PERMISSIBLE VOLTAGE DROP

Maximum Allowable Maximum Allowable

a) Cables between transformer secondary and switchboards 0.5%

b) Cables between Emergency DG and Emergency switchboards 0.5%

c) LV switchboard to LV motors 5% 15%

Cables between LV switchboard and LV sub distribution (Auxiliary

f) Cables between LV switchboard LV heaters/welding sockets 5%

g) Circuit between lighting panels and last lighting point 2.5%*

h) Circuit betweenpower panels and last socket 2.5%*

i) DC distribution board to DC supply current (electrical controls) 5%

j) AC Distribution board to UPS outgoing circuit 5%

9.1 Full Load Current

 Full load current (I) for non-motor loads

 Full load current (I) for motor loads

9.2 Percentage AC Voltage Drop for 3-Phase Motors:

 During Normal Opera?ng Condi?on

 For Motor Star?ng Condi?on

L = Cable Length (Meters)

Ist = Star?ng Current in Amps = 9.24*x Full Load Current (Ib)

%Vd = Percentage Voltage Drop during Normal Opera?on

9.3 Short Circuit Withstand:

S Cross Sec?onal area in sq. mm

100 106 ≥ 0.48x106

Criteria of k2S2 ≥ I2t is sa?sﬁed, hence selected conductor size is acceptable.

10.0 SAMPLE CALCULATIONS

(a) System Data

Load Name = 900G06-P730A

(b) (Step-1) Circuit breaker sizing

Full load current (Ib) = KVA*103 / (√3*V)

(c) (Step-2) Continuous current-carrying capacity of the cable

Installa?on method Indoor Cable tray

Full load current (Ib) 85.20 Amp

Considering the future load/addi?onal requirements we are proposing 16mm2 cables

Checking for Compliance the condi;on 1 and condi;on 2

Iz = 153.97 Amp (Refer the sec?on 10. c)

So, the compliance of condi?on 2 is also veriﬁed.

(d) (Step-3) Checking the cable for the Voltage drop

%Voltage Drop = [√3 * L * Ib * (R CosΦ + X SinΦ) ÷ (V * N * 1000)] * 100

Full load current (Ib) = KVA103 / (√3V)
