RECOMMENDED CURRENT RATINGS

PART I PAPER-INSULATED LEAD-SHEATHED CABLES
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part I ) was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 26 June 1967, after the draft finalized by the Conducton
and Cables Sectional Committee had beeri approved by the Electrotechnical
Division Council.
0.2 This standard has been drawn up to provide to the users general
guidance for loading of cables. The over-loading of cables will reduce the
life expectancy of the cable and at the same time under-loading it will
mean unecbnomic utilization of its capacity: Depending upon the
loading cycle met with in practice, the installation engineer may decide
the economic loading of cables.
0.3 The current ratings given in the standard have been drawn up on
certain assumptions pertaining to soil conditions prevalent in this country,
permissible temperature-rise of insulating materials, conductor, etc. It is,
however, to be expected that these conditions may be somewhat different
in different places in a vast country like ours. In such cases the installa-
tion engineer’ is expected to keep in mind the loading conditions, the soil
and atmospheric conditions in the area, etc, before deciding on the choice
of the proper size of cable.
0.4 For cables laid direct and in underground ducts, ratings have been
provided corresbonding to the value for the thermal resistivity of the soil
as 1~0°C cm/W as agreed to by IEC for tropical climates. This covers
the value commonly encoufitered in India, but ratings corresponding to
other values can be determined from rating factors given in Tables 33 and
34. It is, however, emphasized that actual measurements of soil thermal
resistivity at the proposed depth of laying should be made along the route
prior to laying the cables where practicable and the cable ratings .based
upon the values so determined..
0.5 The permissible current ratings have been specified for three commonly
adopted conditions of installation, namely, laid direct in ground, laid in
ducts, and for cables in air.

IS t 3961 ( Part I ) - 1967
0.7 In preparing this standard, assistance has been derived from the
following:
ERA Report No. F/T 183 Current ratings for paper insulated cables
to BS 480 : 1954 and Varnished-cambric insulated cables to
BS 608 : 1955. British Electrical and Allied Industries Researct
;Association, U.K.
IEE Wiring regulations. Instnute of Electrical Engineers, U.K.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part I ) co\ :rs recommended current ratings for paper-
insulated lead-sheathed cables covered by IS : 692-1973t, either laid direct
in ground, in ducts or in air.
2. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS
2.1 The current ratings given in Tables 1 to 20 in the standard are based
on the following assumptions:
a) Maxrmum Conductor Temjurature - The maximum conductor tem-
peratures assumed for various voltage classes and types of cables
8
ISt3961 ( Part I ) - 1967
3. METHODS OF INSTALLATION
3.1 The current ratings given in this standard are for methods of installa-
tion as given in the following table:
Type of Cable Tyke of Installation Method of Installation
Single-core a) Laid direct in the i)Three in trefoil groups
ground touching, or
ii) Two in horizontal formation
touching

ES: 3961( Part I ) - 1967
5. RATING FACTORS
5.1 The current ratings given in the respective tables apply to continuous
loading of cables under the specific conditions of installation mentioned
$2.1,3.1 and 4.1. For the various rating factors which may have to be
used under different conditions, reference shall be made to tables as shown
below:
Ref to Table No.
a) Cables Laid Direct in the Ground
i) For depth of laying 21
ii) For variation in ground tcm- 22
perature
iii) For variation in thermal 23 and 24
resistivity of soil
iv) For group rating factors 25, 26, 27 and 28
