The factor k is dependant on the cable insulation, allowable temperature rise under fault conditions, conductor resistivity and heat capacity. Typical values of k can br foung from the above chart
A=It/k
A - the nominal cross section area, mm2
I - the fault current in, A
t - duration of fault current, s
k - a factor dependant on cable type (see chart)
Alternatively, given the cable cross section and fault current, the maximum time allowable for the protective device can be found from: -
