Load Calculation 9

This document provides a load schedule, cable sizing, and voltage drop calculation for a 30 HP, 230V fire pump with a full load current of 80A. Key details include: - A 38mm2 THW cable is required with a permissible voltage drop of 1.41% or less. - A 360A MCCB is specified along with a 50mm IMC conduit. - Calculations show the voltage drop of 1.35% meets requirements.

ARTICLE 2.4 - OVERCURRENT PROTECTION


2.40.1.3
(b) Devices Rated 800 Amperes or Less.
The next higher standard overcurrent device rating (above the ampacity of
being protected) shall be permitted to be used, provided all of the following

(1) The conductors being protected are not part of the multioutlet branch
supplying receptacles for cord-and plug-connected portable loads.
(2) The ampacity of the conductors does not correspond with the standa
of a fuse or a circuit breaker without overload trip adjustments abov
(but that shall be permitted to have other trip or rating adjustments).
(3) The next higher standard rating selected does not exceed 800 amper

(c) Devices Rated Over 800 Amperes.


Where the overcurrent device is rated over 800 amperes, the ampacity of th
conductors it protects shall be equal or greater than the rating of the overcu
device as defined in Section 2.40.1.6.
