HT Cable Sizing Calculation

The document provides input data and calculations to determine the appropriate cable size for different load ratings. It calculates the required cable cross sectional area based on short circuit current, then applies derating factors to determine the final cable current rating. It also checks voltage drop and ensures it is below the allowable limit. The final cable sizes selected are 1R x 3C x 240 Sq.mm Al XLPE cable for a 1500 KVA load, 1R x 3C x 185 Sq.mm Al XLPE cable for a 750 KVA load, and a cable is required but size not provided for a 500 KVA load.
