Typical Cable Sizes For DG Sets (Ref. M.7) : kVA Rating Amp Rating Cable Size Sq. Mm. X Runs

The document provides typical cable sizes in square millimeters recommended for diesel generator sets of varying kVA ratings and amperage loads. Cable sizes range from 500 sq mm for a 2000 kVA/2782 amp set down to 10 sq mm for a 15 kVA/32 amp single phase set. Notes specify using 3.5 core armored power cables with an aluminum conductor and derating cables by 25% for multiple runs. Earthing per IEC rules is also recommended.

Notes :
1. Use 3-1/2 core armored power cables with aluminium conductor. (AYFY)
2. Current rating of cables are taken based on operating temperature of 70o C.
3. For multiple runs of cables deration factor of 0.75 is considered i.e. 25% deration applied.
4. AYFY : Aluminium conductor, PVC insulation, Steel strip armour, PVC outer sheath.
5. Cable sizes mentioned are in square mm.
6. For sets above 1000 kVA use of proper busbars in bus ducts is recommended.
7. Earthing as per IEC rules to be provided.
