    Minimum Cable Size Withstanding Short Circuit Current: For 6.9Kv VCB

    Uploaded by

    qwertyui123321
    This document provides formulas and calculations for determining the minimum cable size needed to withstand short circuit currents based on factors like the short circuit duration and temperature changes in an XLPE power cable. For a 7.2kV XLPE cable with a 50,000A short circuit current lasting 0.17 seconds, the minimum required cable size is calculated to be 150 square mm. For a 22kV XLPE cable with the same current lasting only 0.01 seconds, the minimum size is calculated to be 50 square mm.

    A : Minimum Cable Size Withstanding Short Circuit Current (sq.

    mm)
    I : Average symmetrical short circuit current (rms, ampere) 50000 A
    t : Short circuit duration (sec) 0.17 Sec
    VCB/GCB: 0.17/0.21Sec
    VCS/GCS+CLF: 0.01Sec
    0 : Conductor temperature before short circuit, XLPE: 90 90
    1 : Conductor temperature after short circuit, XLPE: 250 250
    Minimum cable size is calculated from the following formula : (Derived from IEC60724)
    = 145.27 sq.mm
    So mini. cable size of 7.2kV XLPE power cable is 150 sq.mm
    IEC Cable Size-4,6,10,16,25,35,50,70,95,120,150,185,240,300,400,500,630sq.mm
