    CU-01 Cable Sizing

    Uploaded by

    Krish
    The document provides a cable sizing calculation for a chiller unit motor. It includes inputs like the connected load, cable length, voltage and other factors. Based on the full load current of 90 Amps and a cable capacity of 171 Amps, a 3 core 35 sqmm aluminum cable is selected. Calculations show the voltage drop at running and starting conditions is within the acceptable limits of 5% and 15% respectively, confirming the selected cable size is suitable.

    ELECTRICAL DESIGN CALCULATION

    SIZING CALCULATION OF CABLES

    INPUT:
    Equipment name : Chiller Unit -01
    Motor tag no : CU-01
    Cable tag no : CU-01
    Voltage : 415 Volts
    Connected load : 44.00 KW
    Cable length : 10 mtrs
    cable laid between : FROM Chiller Room MCC Panel to CU-01
    Derating factor : 0.93
    Conductor operating temperature : 70 deg
    Efficiency Factor : 85.0%
    Power Factor : 80%
    Cable :
    Conductor current rating : 92 Amps
    No of Runs : 2
    Selected cable size
    -Core : 3 core
    -Sqmm : 35.0 sqmm
    Method of starting :
    Allowable voltage drop at running condition : 5%
    Allowable voltage drop at starting condition : 15%

    CALCULATION:
    44kwx1000/{v/3 x0.85efx0.8pf x415volts}
    Full load current of the motor : 90 Amps

    Current carrying capacity of the cable : 171 Amps

    Hence 1 run of 4/c -16sqmm.Al. Conductorpvc insulated armoured cable is accepted for this purpose.

    DC Resistance of cable at 20 c : 0.8680 ohms/km only for reference


    AC resistance of cable at 70 c ® : 1.0400 ohms/km
    Reactance value at 50Hz for 35sqmm (X) : 0.0860 ohms/km
    Impedance value (Z) : 1.0435 ohms/km

    Voltage drop at running condition 1.63

    % Voltage drop at running condition 0.39% WITHIN THE LIMITS

    voltage drop at starting current 4.07

    % voltage drop at starting current 0.98% WITHIN THE LIMITS

    Hence , the selected cable is within the limits and it is acceptable.
