2.0 REFERENCES:
The following references are used for this calculation: 2.1. Gloster cable catalogue. 2.2. Fault current considered as 26.2 kA for 0.16 second (Operating time for VCB and Numerical Relay) Operating time for VCB = 65 ms = 0.065 s ; Numerical Relay = 40 ms = 0.040 s, Total time = 0.065+ 0.040 =0.105 s Fault duration considered = 0.16 s 2.3. Derating factor = Temperature factor x grouping factor Temperature factor = 1.0 for 40 deg C ambient Grouping factor = 0.68 for 6 layers of cable trays with 6 cables in each tray touching each other Therefore, Derating factor = 1.0 x 0.68 = 0.68

Permitted percentage voltage drop = 1% From above results, we see that maximum steady state voltage drop calculated is less than permitted 3% of normal voltage (V1).
