53 Cables Selection

54 Cable Selection The following are some simplified procedures for cable selection. Refer to the Wiring Rules AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS for detailed information. The four main electrical criteria for cable selection are: a. Current rating. b. Voltage drop. c. Short-circuit capacity. d. Earth loop impedance. Generally speaking, for: a. Short route length, current-carrying capacity requirement will dictate the cable size selection. b. Long route length, voltage drop or earth loop impedance requirement will dictate the cable size selection. c. The short-circuit capacity of a cable shall be such that all short-circuit current occurring at any point of a circuit shall not cause the cable conductor temperature to exceed the maximum permissible limit. A) Current rating: Current rating of a cable depends on: a. Installation method, eg., In air or ground, enclosed or unenclosed, etc. b. Installation environment, eg., ambient temperature, depth of laying, presence of other cables or circuits nearby, etc. c. Limiting temperatures of the cables for normal use, eg., PVC and XLPE insulated cables are 75ºC and 90ºC respectively. d. Type of overcurrent protective device used, appropriate derating factor: for fuses, e.g. AS/NZS series fuses, with l2 = 1.6 x IN. Where: l2 = conventional overcurrent fusing or tripping current. ln = nominal current of the fuse or circuit breaker. e. Current in neutral conductor. 4 core shall mean 3 phase cores plus one neutral core. 4 core cables can have the same current rating as 3 core cables only if the neutral core is lightly loaded, i.e. less than 35% of the rated current of the phase conductor, and the harmonic content in the current is not significant, e.g. less than 15% for 3rd and 10% for 9th, 12th, etc, higher harmonics. For other situations, de-rating may be required in order to take the additional heating effect due to the neutral current into consideration

55 CABLE SELECTION Current ratings in this technical manual are based on AS/NZS with the following typical Australian installation conditions. If other installation conditions are necessary, refer to derating/rating factors in the General Information section or/and AS/NZS for appropriate derating/rating factors. Not exposed to direct sunlight unless otherwise specified Single circuit Solar radiation (for cables exposed to sun only) = 1000W/m 2 Ambient air temperature = 40ºC Ambient soil temperature = 25ºC Depth of laying* = 0.5m Soil thermal resistivity = 1.2ºC.m/W Supply frequency = 50Hz *Measured to (a) centre of cable or trefoil group of cables or (b) centre of enclosure or trefoil group of enclosures B) Voltage drop: Wiring Rules in general stipulate a maximum voltage drop of 5% of the nominal voltage between the point of supply and any point in the installation when the conductors are carrying maximum demand. Voltage drops in this technical manual are based on: a. Maximum conductor temperatures of 75ºC, 90ºC and 110 C as indicated b. Load power factor to give maximum voltage drop c. Single core cables are in trefoil or flat formation and touching or spaced apart d. Supply frequency of 50Hz Equation to determine minimum required cable size due to voltage drop Vc = Vd x 1000 I x L millivolts/ampere metre Where: Vc Calculated maximum permissible voltage drop in millivolts/ampere metre Vd Maximum permissible voltage drop in volts I Current in Amperes L Route length in metres Now select a cable such that Vc is equal to or less than the voltage drop value given in the relevant table, and check that it will carry the current

56 CABLE SELECTION C) Short-circuit capacity: During a short-circuit, the conductor temperature will increase due to the heat energy produced. To satisfy this requirement, short-circuit permissible temperature limit of the conductor of cable must not be exceeded. This may require the time current curves of the short-circuit protective device to be checked against the cable damage curves. D) Maximum earth loop impedance: The earth loop impedance has to be low enough to allow sufficient current to flow in the fault loop to cause the protective device to operate and disconnect the supply within the specified time when a fault of negligible impedance occurs between an active and a protective earthing conductor. To accurately calculate the earth loop impedance is not easy and requires information of the HV supply system that may or may not be available. As the internal impedance of an earth loop may be expressed in terms of circuit length, a simplified method is listed below to provide a reasonably accurate calculation of the maximum route length to ensure correct operation of protective devices to provide protection against indirect contact: Lmax = Where: 0.8Uo SphSpe Ia ρ(sph + Spe) Lmax Maximum route length (m). Uo Nominal phase voltage (230V). P Resistivity at normal working temperature (Ω. 2 /m). = 22.5 x 10-3 for copper. = 36 x 10-3 for aluminium. Ia (mean) trip current setting for the instantaneous operation of a circuit breaker (A) in the specified time; or the current that assures operation of the protective fuse (A); in the specified time. Sph Size of the active conductor ( 2 ). Spe Size of the protective earthing conductor ( 2 ). Notes: 1. This method is only reliable where the conductors that make up the earth-fault-current loop are in close proximity to each other and are not separated by ferromagnetic materials. 2. This calculation method is considered valid for cable sizes up to For larger sizes, maximum length and fault loop impedance should be calculated by other methods taking account of cable inductance

57 CABLE SELECTION Maximum Route Lengths, in metres, for different sizes of Conductors and Protective Devices using Mean Tripping Currents (la)* for a disconnection time of 0.4 sec. Conductor Size 2 Protective Device Rating Amps Circuit-breaker (see Note 1) m Fuses (see Note 2) m Active Earth Type B Type C Type D Notes: 1. * la for circuit-breakers are mean tripping currents as follows: Type B = 4 times rated current. Type C = 7.5 times rated current. Type D = 12.5 times rated current. 2. Fuses based on AS/NZS also known as BS 88 type fuses. 3. When the nominal phase voltage of the electrical installation is not 230V, the maximum length may be determined by multiplying by a factor of Uo/230. For a nominal phase voltage of 240V, the factor would be approximately The above table is for guidance only. In many cases, other requirements such as loading, short circuit and voltage drop will need to be considered in the selection of active and earth conductor sizes
