The 70 mm2 cable is chosen since the rating of the 50 mm2 cable is just
too low.
The 6 mm2 cable is chosen provisionally, since its rating is above the
32 A rating of the MCCB that feeds it.
The impedance Zc2 of the load cable is:

Hence the upstream MCCB impedance Zm1 is 0.0008 + j 0.0001 ohms. Therefore the
fault impedance Zfb is:
Where Vp is the line-to-neutral voltage. Locate the point R for 26,195 A on the prospective
curve in Figure 1.

13. Calculate a suitable size for the load cable to satisfy the I2t
duty
For XLPE cables the k factor for the I2t is 143. The cross-sectional area A is:
Where, Iflc = 29 A, L = 15 m and = 54.5495 degrees. For a 6 mm2 cable the volt-drop is
found to be:
