7. A 6kW load is to be supplied at 230 V by a PVC sheathed and insulated twin and
cpc copper cable, 8 metres in length. The cable is clipped on the surface through
an area with an ambient temperature of 40°C and is grouped with three other
cables of similar size and loading. The protection is by means of a BS 3036 fuse.
It is assumed in this example that all the correction factors need to be applied)

Available fuses are 20A, 30A, 40A, 50A


Temperature factor (Ca ) = 0.94
Grouping factor (Cg ) = 0.65
Fusing factor (Cr ) = 0.725
I. Calculate the design current (Ib)
II. Select the type and current rating of the overcurrent device.
III. Calculate the tabulated current (It)
IV. Select the suitable cable.
V. Calculate the voltage drop using following formula and ensure that
voltage drop is not more than 5%.
Volts drop = mv/a/m x design current, Ib x length of run in metres, L
