1.0 Introduction:
The Design calculation of the Electrical installation is based on the following System
Parameters.
System Parameters.:
Incoming Voltage : 11 KV
Fault Level : 350 MVA.
Operating Voltage for Power :415 V , 3 Phase 4 wire
Operating Voltage for Lighting : 230 V Sph AC
Earthing : TNS system, Solid earthed Neutral.
For the Fault Level of 350 MVA at 11 KV Short circuit current will be 18.3 kA at the point of
commencement of supply, 11 KV, 25 kA for 3 sec, 630 A, 50 Hz 3 phase LBS with copper bus
bars is considered .
The size of 11 KV XLPE Armoured Aluminum cable is chosen based on the system fault level
of 350 MVA and with stand or clearing time off 1 sec using the formula.
Short circuit current for 350 MVA at 11 KV:
Isc in kA= Fault level in MVA/1.732 x system voltage in KV
Isc= 350/1.732*11=18.3 kA
The minimum cross sectional area of XLPE cable S is calculated using the formula
S= √((Isc)2 x t)/ K
S= area of cable in sq.mm
Isc= Short Circuit current in amps
t= withstand or clearing time in sec.
K= factor for Aluminum XLPE cable =94
S =√(18300x18300x1)/94=194 sq.mm
11 KVXLPE ar. Al cable of size 3cx240 sq.mm is considered for connecting the LBS to 11
KV AVR and from 11 KV AVR to 11 KV transformer.
5.0 11 KV HT AVR
A 11 KV, 200KVA HT AVR is considered for feeding the 11 KV transformer due wide variation
informed on HV supply voltage.
Full load current of 200 KVA 11 KV/433 V trans former= 200000/( 1.732x433) = 266 A
Even though the Short Circuit Fault current at Sec. Side is only 8 kA, as standard practice a
minimum Fault level of 25 MVA is considered on LT side.
Based on the 25 MVA fault level on LT side the Main MV panel on the secondary side of the
transformer is 400 A, 36 kA TPN with all incoming and outgoing MCCB s are rated for 36
kA.
8.0.Sub Panels
The Fault level at sub panel will be less than the fault level of 8 kA at Main MV panel .
However 25kA MCCBs are considered for incoming and outgoing controls in these panels
which is on higher side and the panels are rated for 25 kA SC capacity.

13.3.3 De-rating factors for variations in ambient temperature, soil thermal resistivity, group
derating, etc are applied as per IS code and Manufacturer recommendation, & then the Overall
De-rated ampacity of feeders is calculated.
13.3.4 Cable size selected, based on above ampacity, is checked for voltage drop at the load
end for full load current. Resistance & reactance values are taken from reputed manufacturers
table for cables.
