4.1.1 Derating factor for variation in air temperature = 1

at 40 deg C
4.1.2 Group derating factor for single core cables

= 0.95

4.1.3 Overall derating factor considered for the cable (df) = 1 x 0.95
= 0.95
4.1.4 Nominal current carrying capacity of cable in air (Ic) = 784 A
4.1.5 Calculation of De-rated current carrying capacity
4.1.6 Derated current carrying capacity of cable in air (Id = df x lc) = 744.8 A
Therefore, No. of runs required (N=FLC/Id) = 1448.6 / 744.8

= 1.944952 Runs
4.1.7 No. of runs selected (N) = 2 Runs
From the above, it is seen that the thermal current carrying capacity of
2runs of 1C x 630 Sq.mm XLPE Ar. Cu cable is sufficient to carry full load
current of switchgear. Hence the proposed cable is safe.
