SIS - ECODIAL 3.3- 2004 - English
What are installation rules ?

IEC60364, NFC 15-100, BS7671, CP5, AS3008, ...
Installation rules address all the issues relative to safety : overload protection minimum cable sizes protection against direct and indirect contact short circuit protection These rules are usually all based on the same inital document (IEC60364), onto which each country usually includes local requirements (temperature, safety, cable derating).
What is Ecodial ?
Ecodial is a low voltage network calculation tool. It can calculate simple arborescent type networks no loops/ring feed systems Ecodial calculates cable cross section based on upstream protection setting, maximum allowable voltage drop, protection against indirect contact, short circuit currents according to : type of short circuit, polarity of circuit and earthing method sets protection devices based on short circuit currents, expected loads, ...
What Ecodial is not :

Ecodial is not : A medium voltage design tool A tool that can be used lightly : professional engineers must check verify and certify these results The solution to all the possible design problems that one may encounter.
Ecodial cannot solve all the layouts Several studies could be made... Simplified network should be drawn...
The main steps of an Ecodial study

General characteristics - definition of the global parameters (voltage, earthing, ) Drawing - definition of the network layout Definition of circuit characteristics - definition of the terminal load, and all the cable lengths Power sum - calculation of the required power, and current in the distribution circuits Calculation - sizing of cable, calculation of short circuit currents, choice of equipment, Results - printout of the input / output used for the calculations
General characteristics
Calculation / General characteristics
Un Ph-Ph (400V) : sets the LV network voltage. This value corresponds to a phase-phase voltage Earthing arrangement (TNS) : sets the earthing arrangement at the transformer. This value can only be changed in a network after an LV/LV transformer, or from TNC to TNS. Cascading (YES) : authorises Ecodial to use reinforced breaking capacity to choose downstream breakers. This can help reduce the cost of an installation. Discrimination (standard) : displays the discrimination results and chooses breakers giving better discrimination results. Smax (240mm) : sets the maximum cable CSA that Ecodial can use when sizing cables (multiple cables in parallel can always be used though)
CSA N / CSA Ph (1) : sets the minimum ratio between phase and neutral conductors. This is used to allow half neutrals (1/2) or require full neutrals (1). Tolerance (5%) : Ecodial calculates the theoretical Phase CSA. Tolerance can be included to allow the choice of cable slightly smaller than the theoretical value. Target power factor (0.96) : this is the value Ecodial will use to size the required capacitor bank. It corresponds to the power factor downstream of the transformer. System frequency (50Hz) : enables users to choose products that are suitable for 60hz applications (capacitors, ). Thermal stress compliance (No) : enables Ecodial to check out that cables chosen are in compliance with thermal stress under short circuit.
New with 3.35 ! One will be able to modify some of these characteristics afterwards. Ecodial will then ask whether the modified characteristic should be spread abroad down the electrical network or not. This function can be quite useful in case the user is looking quickly for the results of a variant of its own design

The Power Sum

Calculation / Power Sum
Automatically calculates the theoretical power of transformer and generator. (400kVA) Automatically calculates the currents in the different branches of the circuits. (ex Total Switchboard feeders = 436.36A) Ku and Ks coefficients can be used to optimise design. Ecodial will recommend a transformer size.
Power sum should be run after every modification !

Power sum, Ks and Ku

Ku : usage coefficient applicable to a CIRCUIT % full load current when load is running example : motor +/- 80% Light 100% Ks : diversity coefficient applicable to a DISTRIBUTION BOARD chance of all feeders drawing maximum load at any given time relative to the number of feeders on DB.

Problem with Ku and Ks Responsibility of the user Personal experience Knowledge of installation Database of existing installations Advantage of Ku and Ks more cost effective installation not oversized Example total installed power : 144kVA maximum expected demand : 80 kVA
18
Ib is the maximum current potentially consumed by

the load. Therefore, Ecodial makes sure to take the worst case if considering the maximum Ib. Ib will size the frame and the overload protection of the protective device. Consequently Ecodial does not consider the Ku input for the load.
In three phases system :
Ib =
PkW 3U Ph Ph cos
In single or bi phase system I b =
PkW U Ph N cos
19
Ku is a user coefficient.
If the user knows is equipment load will be only 80% of the nominal current, he should input 0.8. These kind of assumptions are quite common for motors. Ku is not used to size the macro component. He is taken into account to size the upstream circuits

27
The Power Sum

Calculation / Power Sum
The Power Sum is not compulsory. But then the user must manually define the currents in every circuits. Advantage : quicker calculations : Do not have to draw/enter all the circuits. Enter only the circuits one wants to calculate, and expected current. Disadvantage : results can be sometimes surprising !
POWER SUM IS RECOMMENDED IN BIG PROJECTS !
28
Switchboard undersizing
One may want to undersize a distribution board fed with several sources in parallel, with regards to the required current by the downstream loads. This may result from the willingness to take into account an average diversity coefficient at the level of the distribution board, coefficient based on overall statistics or on standards. The user has to choose to proceed by using the Ks coefficient
29
DB undersizing with Ks
Ks of the distribution board : It is entered during the power sum and it bases the transformers power capacity calculation. In the following screens shots swapping Ks from 1 to 0.1 is inducing requested transformers power from 205kVA each to 21kVA. The user is not compelled to stick to the proposed value. He may put whatever he wants, as long as the input value is bigger than proposed.
30
DB undersizing with Ks#2

The busbars cross section area of the distribution board is calculated with selected transformers power, which gives the nominal current capacity. This cross section area is constant whatever may be the input Ks. Ks=1 or Ks=0.1 => same In (maximal nominal current)
31
The Power Sum

Load distribution
When single phases are connected to a three phase board, Ecodial can automatically suggest a phase distribution solution The automatic distribution can be modified. The logic applied is the following Ecodial sorts the loads by decreasing intensity. Starting from the highest load, Ecodial will place the loads onto the first phase until the sum of these loads is equal to 33% of the total load Ecodial then tries to load the second phase until the sum of these loads reaches 50% of the remaining loads. All the loads that remain are then allocated to the third phase. This systems gives the best possible distribution in most cases. It is always possible to manually modify the result. The upstream circuit is sized on the highest phase loading.
32
The Calculation
Calculation / Calculate
Automatic mode equipment is selected automatically. No additional entry is required, Ecodial uses default values (installation method, cable type, ) Manual mode parameters can be defined by user, and then they are checked to see if they verify all the safety criteria. An unsafe choice will not be allowed to be validated. Equipment calculated Circuit breakers (and fuses) and isolators Contactors and relays Cable, BTS, and busbar

34
The Calculation
Load current and breaking capacity identifies circuit breaker Choice of circuit breaker sets thermal setting Thermal setting defines minimum theoretical cable CSA Verification of cable (Sp, Sn, Spe theoretic) voltage drop protection against indirect contact short circuit currents Sizing constraint (overload, voltage drop, user, )
35
The Calculation
Busbar sizing : For main busbar, size is defined by the circuit breaker protection which is defined by the nominal current of transformer (and not the sum of the load currents !) For other busbar (sub DB) : sizing according to circuit breaker protection, which is defined by the load current. Short circuit currents Ik max : cold short circuit (copper is cold-low resistivity) Ik min : warm short circuit (copper is warm - high resistivity) Ik3 : three phase bolted fault Ik2 : phase - phase fault Ik1 : phase - neutral fault Earth fault : phase-earth fault

For those feeders that can be fed by either the Normal or the Emergency supply, the worst case parameters are used to verify the selection and sizing of the equipment : max 3 phase short circuit current min earth fault current

V3.2 limitations The calculations made by Version 3.2 were based on a number of simplifying assumptions that neglected the following problems: The real constitution of a power supply network that can be a mixture of generators, transformers and cables of varying lengths. The distance to the point where the neutral is created. For example, if a delta-star transformer is located just upstream, the neutral impedance is zero. On the other hand, if the cable impedance is high with respect to that of the transformer and the HV system, the neutral impedance will be close to that of the phases. Upstream earthing location and method. This is particularly a problem TN systems, where the fault current could be confused with a single-phase short-circuit, while there is a very high probability of an equipotential link at the connection point.

Factors Cmin and Cmax, along with the resistivities 0, 1 and 2 of the circuits, are used to distinguish between the maximum and minimum shortcircuit current values. However, what types of circuits are concerned, what are their lengths and what resisitivity values should be applied? In this concern, UTE C 15 500 considers RQ and XQ, with RQ invariable with respect to temperature. The ratio R/X of the different impedances. Ecodial 3.3 offers the possibility of entering an additional value, the power factor under short-circuit conditions, that is applied for Ik3max and Ik1min. Of course, taking the same short-circuit power factor for Ik3 and Ik1 leads to an approximation in the calculation of the neutral and PE impedances. A test is required to check for consistency between the values entered for Ik3max and Ik1min. Ecodial 3.3 offers the possibility of checking Ik1min with respect to Ik3max. According to the characteristics (system earthing arrangement, distributed neutral, reduced neutral, etc.), incompatibilities will be corrected and the user will be asked to confirm certain assumptions.

Capacitor
Power factor before compensation : value of the power factor calculated in the Power Sum (the Power Sum must be run to calculate a Capacitor bank) Power of the Harmonic sources : In order to take into account the effect of harmonics on the capacitors, Ecodial needs the power of all the harmonic generating (non-linear) loads on the network. This value is used in conjunction with the transformer size to identify the type (Standard, H or SAH) of capacitor used by Ecodial. Power (kvar) : Total power of the capacitor bank needed to attain the target power factor. Type of compensation Step : resolution of the automatic capacitor bank : ex 5x50kvar means the capacitor bank can go from 0 to 250kvar in steps of 50 kvar (controlled by the regulator) Ib : current drawn by the capacitor bank (inclusive of possible harmonic currents and manufacturing tolerances)

Implementing protection against indirect contact
TT Earth fault current (leakage) calculated using the impedance of the source and earth electrodes, and the Phase-Earth conductor impedance Standards require an RCD device on the main incomer the earth and source electrodes must not be interconnected ! TN Earth fault current calculated using the Phase-Earth conductor impedance Protection against indirect contact ensured by setting the magnetic under the Earth fault current Trip units can be changed to ensure accurate magnetic threshold is used RCDs can be implemented IT (2nd fault) identical calculations as for the TN system Earth fault current is calculated assuming both fault occur at the same point. This ensures worse case scenario as if the second fault appears further away, the real fault current on the 2nd fault would be greater than the calculated fault current corresponding to the 2nd fault location, and ensuring tripping by the 2nd fault location protection device.

1 Irth Sth = K m
Theoretical Phase CSA : calculated by a formula, where (IEC 60364-5-523-B): K is the total derating (temperature laying method, cables in parallel, ) Irth : is the thermal setting of the upstream breaker m and a : parameters defined by the laying method and the type of cable (metal, insulator) andthe number of loaded conductors in the circuit) Choice of Phase conductor based on cable database supplied based on theoretical phase CSA and tolerance based on installation rules (ex TNC Smini = 10mm) based on limits implied in the standards (ex Smini for multicore conductors on perforated tray = 25mm) based on maximum phase CSA allowed Voltage drop is calculated on this cable using demand current CSA could be increased

Neutral CSA
Theoretical calculation made by Ecodial minimum theoretical CSA equal Ph or Ph/2 Warning : the Neutral, as any cable, should be sized according to the upstream protection setting (this is to ensure safety) With 4p4t CB, the neutral can be of the same CSA of the Phase With 4p3t 1/2N, the neutral can be half With 3p devices (Neutral not protected), there is an unknown, as there is no direct protection on the neutral Phase unbalance can lead (worse case scenario) to a phase current equal to neutral current, so Neutral should be at least equal to Phase Triplen Harmonics (3rd, 9th, ) add up on the neutral. Therefore, if the phase is ONLY 3rd harmonics, neutral current = 3x phase current. In reality, the neutral current will usually be less than 1.7-1.8 times the phase current, example ; Irms (phase) = (I1, I3 (80%), I5(45%), I7(12%)) = 1.36x I1 Irms (neutral) = 3x I3 = 2.4x I1 = 1.76 Irms (phase)

Neutral CSA
Recommended actions : use half neutrals when there is a 4p3t N/2 circuit breaker protecting the circuit, and if there is no possibility of excessive phase unbalance and/or triplen harmonic loading on the circuit. Note : 3p3t are acceptable solutions, but 4p3t N/2 offer more safety under unexpected conditions use full neutrals when there is a 4p4t circuit breaker protecting the circuit and if there is a possibility of excessive phase unbalance, or limited triplen harmonic (max allowed = 33% triplen in the RMS) Note : 3p3t are acceptable solutions, but 4p4t offer more safety under unexpected conditions use double neutrals with 3p3t circuit breakers when there is a high risk of excessive triplen harmonic

Calculation rules
PE CSA
Automatic minimum PE : if Ph 16mm, PE = Ph x kph/kpe if Ph 35 mm, PE = 16mm x kph/kpe if Ph > 35 mm, PE = Ph/2 x kph/kpe where kph and kpe function of the type of phase and earth conductor (metal, insulation, single/multi core, ) in TT, max PE = 35mm Theoretical minimum PE : the theoretical minimum PE cross section should only verify the It < kS condition, as very little current is ever expected to flow on the PE (as it is an equipotential link). This condition usually implies small PE cross sections (+/- 4mm in TN and 1mm in TT). Using such small cables has two bad consequences : reducing Earth fault current (due to higher loop impedance), which could require the use of earth fault protection devices or lowering the magnetic thresholds to non efficient levels (motor starting and discrimination problems) creating a higher voltage differential on the PE due to natural leakage currents Ecodial chooses automatically the CSA given above, but allows smaller cables to be selected by the user.
