    This document summarizes the selection of a cable size for a supply feeder based on load current and voltage drop criteria. It calculates the uprated load current of 8.76 A for a load of 8 KVA. Based on the current rating table, a 4C X 25 sqmm cable is suitable. It then calculates the voltage drop of 1.72% for this cable size over a 350m feeder length, which is within the 3% limit. Therefore, the 4C X 25 sqmm cable meets both the load current and voltage drop criteria for this application.

    SAMPLE CALCULATION 2 CABLE SELECTION FOR SUPPLY FEEDERS

    Feeder KVA rating Selected Cable Size i)As per Load current criteria Load current ( I ) With 90% load factor = KVA (Sqrt(3) * 415) = 8.76 Over all derating factor for 3Core LT cable Uprated Load current = = Load Current(I) derating factor Uprated Load current From Table -32, the current rating for 3C X 120Sq.mm cable is = 14 = 96.00 A A 0.61 A = 7 = 4C X25 Sqmm KVA

    So 4C X 25 Sq.mm cable can be selected, as per uprated load curent. ii) As per Voltage Drop criteria Steady State Conditions: The voltage drop for a given cable length is = [Sqrt (3) * I * l (R Cos + X Sin ) * 100] / V calculated by using the formula Load current ( I ) Resistance of 3C X 120 Sqmm Cable ( R ) (From Table 62) Reactance of 3C X 120 Sqmm Cable ( X ) (From Table 63) Feeder Length Cos Sin % Voltage Drop = 8.76 = 1.53 A Ohm/kM

    = 0.0805 = = = =

    Ohm/kM

    350 M 0.85 0.53 [Sqrt (3) * I * l (R Cos + X Sin ) * 100] / V

    = 1.72 For 150 M Cable length ,voltage drop% is = 1.72%

    Steady state Voltage drop is within 3% so, as per Voltage Drop criteria, Selected cable size 4C X 25 Sqmm is adequate.
