CWP-01 Cable Sizing

This document provides an electrical design calculation for sizing cables for a chilled water pump. It includes inputs like equipment name, voltage, connected load, cable length, and more. Calculations are shown to determine the full load current of the motor, current carrying capacity of cables, voltage drop, and that a 4 core 16 sqmm cable is accepted for this purpose and meets voltage drop limits.

ELECTRICAL DESIGN CALCULATION

SIZING CALCULATION OF CABLES

INPUT:
Equipment name : Chilled Water Pumps
Motor tag no : CWP-01
Cable tag no : CWP-01
Voltage : 415 Volts
Connected load : 5.50 KW
Cable length : 10 mtrs
cable laid between : FROM Chiller Room MCC Panel to CWP-01
Derating factor : 0.47
Conductor operating temperature : 70 deg
Efficiency Factor : 85.0%
Power Factor : 80%
Cable :
Conductor current rating : 36 Amps
No of Runs : 1
Selected cable size
-Core : 3 core
-Sqmm : 4.0 sqmm
Method of starting :
Allowable voltage drop at running condition : 5%
Allowable voltage drop at starting condition : 15%

CALCULATION:
5.5kwx1000/{v/3 x0.85efx0.8pf x415volts}
Full load current of the motor : 11 Amps

Current carrying capacity of the cable : 17 Amps

Hence 1 run of 4/c -16sqmm.Al. Conductorpvc insulated armoured cable is accepted for this purpose.

DC Resistance of cable at 20 c : 4.6100 ohms/km only for reference


AC resistance of cable at 70 c ® : 5.5200 ohms/km
Reactance value at 50Hz for 4sqmm (X) : 0.1110 ohms/km
Impedance value (Z) : 5.5211 ohms/km

Voltage drop at running condition 1.08

% Voltage drop at running condition 0.26% WITHIN THE LIMITS

voltage drop at starting current 7.75

% voltage drop at starting current 1.87% WITHIN THE LIMITS

Hence , the selected cable is within the limits and it is acceptable.
