Derating Factor Calculation for Cables

a)
Cables directly buried in ground
Soil resitivity facor = 1.14
Ground temparature factor = 0.86
Depth of laying factor( for 0.6 mtr ) = 0.98
Group factor for Multicore cables = 0.84( 3 ckts)/ 0.77(6 ckts)
Overall Derating factor =1.14* 0.86 * 0.98 * 0.84 = 0.81( 3 ckts)
Overall Derating factor =1.14* 0.86 * 0.98 * 0.77= 0.74( 3 ckts)

b) Cables in ducts
Soil resitivity facor = 1.06
Ground temparature factor = 0.86
Depth of laying factor( for 0.6 mtr ) = 0.99
Group factor for Multicore cables = 0.93( 3 ckts)/ 0.9 (6 ckts)
Overall Derating factor =1.06 * 0.86 * 0.99 * 0.93 = 0.84 (3 ckts)
Overall Derating factor =1.06 * 0.86 * 0.99 * 0.9 = 0.81 (6 ckts)

c) For Cables in Air

Ambient temparature factor @40 oC (inside building) = 0.91
Spacing factor (BS 7671 table 4B1) (4 ckts)= 0.88
Overall Derating factor = 0.91*0.88 = 0.8
