Design Calculation for Electrical Installation of J&K Car Park

1.0 Introduction:

The Design calculation of the Electrical installation is based on the following System
Parameters.
System Parameters.:
Incoming Voltage : 11 KV
Fault Level : 350 MVA.
Operating Voltage for Power :415 V , 3 Phase 4 wire
Operating Voltage for Lighting : 230 V Sph AC
Earthing : TNS system, Solid earthed Neutral.

2.0. 11 KV Load Break Switch with fuse.

For the Fault Level of 350 MVA at 11 KV Short circuit current will be 18.3 kA at the point of
commencement of supply, 11 KV, 25 kA for 3 sec, 630 A, 50 Hz 3 phase LBS with copper bus
bars is considered .

3.0 Size of HT Cable

The size of 11 KV XLPE Armoured Aluminum cable is chosen based on the system fault level
of 350 MVA and with stand or clearing time off 1 sec using the formula.
Short circuit current for 350 MVA at 11 KV:
Isc in kA= Fault level in MVA/1.732 x system voltage in KV
Isc= 350/1.732*11=18.3 kA
The minimum cross sectional area of XLPE cable S is calculated using the formula
S= √((Isc)2 x t)/ K
S= area of cable in sq.mm
Isc= Short Circuit current in amps
t= withstand or clearing time in sec.
K= factor for Aluminum XLPE cable =94
S =√(18300x18300x1)/94=194 sq.mm
11 KVXLPE ar. Al cable of size 3cx240 sq.mm is considered for connecting the LBS to 11
KV AVR and from 11 KV AVR to 11 KV transformer.

4.0 Transformer capacity

The total connected load as per the Load Sheet furnished in Annexure I = 237.24 KW
Maximum Demand after considering Diversity factor for various Loads
as per load sheet = 148.089 KW
The improved PF with 75 KVAR APFC panel =0.9
Maximum demand in KVA with 0.05 PF =148.1 /0.9
= 164.5 KVA
Allowing 20 % spare capacity the Transformer rating =1.2 X 164.5= 197.5KVA

A transformer of 200 KVA, 11KV/433V , 3 phase 50 Hz Dy 11n is considered

5.0 11 KV HT AVR
A 11 KV, 200KVA HT AVR is considered for feeding the 11 KV transformer due wide variation
informed on HV supply voltage.

6.0 Fault Level on LV side of Transformer

The percentage impedance of 200 KVA transformer as per IS 2026 is 4 %

The Short circuit current at the Sec. Side of the 200 KVA
Transformer with 4% Short-circuit impedance = (Full Load Currentx100) /(% impedance)

Full load current of 200 KVA 11 KV/433 V trans former= 200000/( 1.732x433) = 266 A

The Short Circuit Current = 266 x100/4 =6650 A

Considering the contribution of Induction motors
to the SC current as 4 times of full current of Transformer = 6650 +4x266 = 7714 A
= 8 kA.

7.0 MV Panel Rating

CCCL – Chennai Page 3 of 8

 Project : CAR PARK - JAMMU DESIGN CRITERIA

Even though the Short Circuit Fault current at Sec. Side is only 8 kA, as standard practice a
minimum Fault level of 25 MVA is considered on LT side.
Based on the 25 MVA fault level on LT side the Main MV panel on the secondary side of the
transformer is 400 A, 36 kA TPN with all incoming and outgoing MCCB s are rated for 36
kA.

8.0.Sub Panels
The Fault level at sub panel will be less than the fault level of 8 kA at Main MV panel .
However 25kA MCCBs are considered for incoming and outgoing controls in these panels
which is on higher side and the panels are rated for 25 kA SC capacity.

9.0. Control gears and Cable sizing.

The control gear or Protective device rating Ip is chosen nearest 1.25 times the full load
current Il of equipment/connected Load.
The installed cable current rating which is arrived after applying group de rating factor shall be
greater than the full load current of the equipment and Protective device rating.
The cable size shall be such that the voltage drop at terminals is within the specified value for
the running current and starting current. It should also capable of withstanding the fault current
till then it is cleared.
The cables for the feeders and loads are designed based on the above concepts and the
details of the methodology adopted and details of cable size and voltage drop are tabulated
and attached as Annexure II.
