Notes:
1. Overcurrent protection shall not exceed current
ratings for the cable.
2. Cables sized for installation on underground
trenches.
3. All cables are stranded copper XLPE insulated
with a maximum conductor operating temperature of
90C.
4. Maximum lengths are calculated for a maximum
voltage drop of 4%.

Cable Size (mm2)

Notes:
1. Overcurrent protection shall not exceed current
ratings for the cable.
2. Cables sized for installation on underground
trenches.
3. All cables are stranded copper XLPE insulated
with a maximum conductor operating temperature of
90C.
4. Maximum lengths are calculated for a maximum
voltage drop of 4%.
5. Derating factors for design ambient temperature
(53C) is 0.86 as per Table A.52-15 of IEC 60364-552.
6. Derating factor for installation is 0.47 as per Table
A.52-18 of IEC 60364-5-52.
7. Cable impedance and current carrying capacity
data has been considered from vendor data.

MAXIMUM LENGTH OF CABLE RUN (m)

L = maximum permissible cable length (m)

Vd 3 = maximum allowable volt drop (volt)

I = maximum load current (Amp)

Rc = cable resistance at 90 deg C (Ohm/km)
Xc = cable reactance at 50Hz (Ohm/km)
= power angle of the maximum load current

8. The figures listed in the above table are the maximum permissible cable length at
the relevant load, and are calculated from :

L=

1000V d 3
