1. The
current

tabulated
are for
cables in
free air but
may also
be used
for cables
resting on
a surface.
If the cable
is to be
wound on
a drum on
load the
ratings
should be
reduced in
accordanc
e with
Note 2
below and
for cables
which may
be
covered,
Note 3
below.
2. Flexible
cables
wound on

The
current
ratings of
cables
used on
reeling
drums are
to be
reduced
by the
following
factors:
a) Radial

A radial

is one
where
spiral
layers of
cable are
accommod
ated
between
closely
spaced
flanges; if
fitted with
solid
flanges the
ratings
given
above
should be
reduced
and the
drum is
described
as nonventilated.
If the
flanges
have
suitable
apertures
the drum
is
described
as

A
ventilated
cylindrical

drum is
one where
layers of

between
widely
spaced
flanges
and the
drum and
end
flanges
have
suitable

3. Where
cable may
be
covered
over or
coiled up
whilst on
load, or
the air
movement
over the
cable
restricted,
the current
rating
should be
reduced. It
is not
possible to
specify the
amount of
reduction
but the

Voltage Drop Calculations
The voltage drop of any insulated cable is dependent upon the route length under consideration (in meters), the required current rating
2 x route length x current x resistance x 10.
The values detailed in the tables are given in m/V/Am, (volts/100 per ampere per metre), and the nominal
maximum acceptable volt drop specified by the IEE Regulations is 2.5% of the system voltage, i.e. 0.025 x 415
= 10.5 volts for 3 phase working or 0.025 x 240 = 6.0 volts for single phase working.
Consider a 3 phase system

The requirement may be for a load of 1000A to be transmitted over a route length of 150m, the cable to be
clipped to the wall and close protection provided. The rating tables in the IEE Regulations indicate that a
35mm copper conductor PVC SWA PVC cable would be suitable for the loading required, but the voltage drop
must be checked.
Volt drop = Y x current x length

= 1.1 x 100 x 150 millivolts
= 1.1 x 100 x 150 volts/1000
= 16.5 volts
where Y = value from tables in mV/A/m Unless a particular value of voltage drop, acceptable to the user, is
specified, the IEE Regulations figure of 10.5 volts must be adhered to.
Thus: total volt drop = 10.5 volts

10.5 = Y x 100 x 150
Therefore Y = 10.5/100 x 150
= 0.7/1000 volts/ampere/meters
Reference to the voltage drop tables indicates that the cable size with a voltage drop of 0.7/1000 V/A/m
(0.7mV/A/m) OR LESS is a 70mm copper conductor.
Therefore, in order to transmit a 3 phase current of 100A per phase over a route length of 150m, with a total
voltage drop equal to or less than the statutory maximum 10.5 volts, the use would require a
70mm (cu.) multicore PVC.
Conversely
The user may have 150m of 35mm (Cu.) multicore PVC cable and require to know what maximum current
rating can be applied without exceeding the allowable voltage drop. The method is exactly the same as above,
viz:total drop = 16.6
#NAME?
= 1.1 x A x 150/1000
from the tables Y = 1.1mV/A/m
=1.1/1000V/A/m
therefore A = 10.5 x 1000/1.1.x 150
=64 amperes
From the foregoing, it is apparent that knowing any two values of Y, A or m, the remaining, unknown value can
readily be calculated.
The advice is always available to check, clarify or suggest the most suitable size and type of cable for any particular, specified requirem
