Wiring Techniques
Example : We plan to install 1 unit induction motor 75 hp for running a water pump.Power factor value is 0.8 and motor efficiency is 0.85.Power supply for this motor is 415 volt 3 phase 50Hz.Distance from panel to motor is 75 meter.This panel and pump is located at outside of factory.Please sizing the suitable circuit breaker,electrical cable and also type of cable for this application. Calculation
Ib In Iz
Ib = ( hp x 746) / (3 x Volt x PF x Efficiency) Ib = (75 x 746) / (3 x 415 x 0.8 x 0.85) Ib = 114.5 Ampere
In = Ib breaker sizing In = 114 150 ampere In = 150 ampere (we decide to used MCCB 3 pole with 150 ampere rating)
Iz = In Iz Iz = 150 Iz Iz = 187 ampere ( carried capacity for 50mm cable size) So we decide to used cable size = 50 mm with 4 core cable and clipped direct to cable tray.To confirm this cable size,we need to calculate the voltage drop.
* For full table of cable size,please download cable size chart / table below.Clink link to download PDF file for Cable Current Rating Table DOWNLOAD CABLE SIZE CHART
Vd = 7.47 ( Acceptable refer to IEE 17th edition ) * Voltage drop acceptable value is 4% x 415 volt = 16.6 Volt Conclusion From this calculation, we fully confident to laying cable size 50mm with 150 ampere ofMCCB,using multicore PVC Armored cable (due to outdoor wiring application) and also cable laying with cable tray. That why all Electrician and Electrical Engineer need to know about cable sizing calculation to make sure wiring installation project successful and meet the requirement of Electrical Safetyand Regulation without any disaster.
