FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 26 June 1967, after the draft finalized by the Conductors and Cables
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division
Council.
0.2 This standard has been drawn up to provide to the users general
guidance for loading of cables. The overloading of cables will reduce the
life expectancy of the cable and at the same time under-loading it will
mean uneconomic utilization of its capacity. Depending upon the loading
cycle met with in practice, the installation engineer may decide the
economic loading of cables.
0.3 The current ratings given in the standard have been drawn up on
certain assumptions pertaming to soil conditions prevalent in this country,
permissible temperature-rise of insulating materials, conductor, etc. It is,
however, to be expected that these conditions may be somewhat different
in different places in a vast country like ours. In such cases the installation
engineer is expected to keep in mind the loading conditions, the soil and
atmospheric conditions in the area, etc, before deciding on the choice of
the proper size of cable.
0.4 For cables laid direct and in underground ducts, ratings have been
provided corresponding to the value for the thermal resistivity of the soil
as 150C cm/W as agreed to by IEC for tropical climates. This covers the
vaiue commonly encountered in India, but ratings corresponding to other
values can be determined from rating factors given in Tables 6 to 13. I t
is, however, emphasized that actual measurements of soil thermal resistivity
at the proposed depth of laying should be made along the route prior to
laying the cables where practicable and the cable ratings based upon the
values so determined.
0.5 The permissible current ratings have been specified for three commonly
adopted conditions of installation, namely, laid direct in ground, laid in
ducts, and for cables in air.
1$:3961(PartII)-1967
0.6 This is one of the series of Indian Standards on recommended curren
ratings for various- types of cables. Others in the series are:
IS : 3961 ( Part I )-1967 Recommended current ratings for cables:
Part 1. Paper-insulated lead-sheathed cables.
IS : 3961 ( Part III )-1967 Recommended current ratings for cables:
Part III Rubber-insulated cables.
IS : 3961 ( Part IV )-1967 Recommended current ratings for cables:
Part IV Polythene-insulated cables.
IS : 3961 ( Part V )-1967 Recommended current ratings for cables:
Part V PVC-insulated. light duty cables and wires.
0.7 In preparing this standard assistance has been derived from the
following:
Supplement to ERA Report F/T 183 Current ratings for armoured
PVC-insulated cables to B.S. 3346 : 1961. British Electrical and
Allied Industries Research Association, U.K.
IEE Wiring regulations. Institute of Electrical Engineers, U.K.
0.8 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2- 1960*.
The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should
be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers recommended current ratings for PVC-insulated
and PVC-sheathed heavy duty cables covered by IS : 1554 ( Part I )-1964t
either laid direct in ducts or in air.
2. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS
2.1 The current ratings given in Tables 1 to 5 in the standard are based
on the following assumptions:
i) Maximum conductor temperature
70C
ii) Thermal resistivity of soil
150C cm/W
iii) Thermal resistivity of PVC
650C cm/W
-
30C
40C
Nom - In the case of twin and multi-core cables with conductors of sizes
25 mm* and above, the current ratings given are for sector shaped conducton. For round conductors the current ratinga would be somewhat lower.
3. &fETHOD OF INSTALLATION
3.1 The current ratings given in this standard are for methods of installation as given in the following table:
Method of Installation
Type of Installation
Type of Cables
Single-core cables a) Laid direct in the 1) Three in close trefoil
formation, or
ground
2) Two touching in horizontal
formation.
Three
in trefoil formation,
b) In ducts
1)
or
2) Two in horizontal formation.
c) In air
1) Two single-core cables are
installed one above the
other fixed to a vertical
wall as follows, the distance between the wall and
the surface of the cable
being 25 mm in each case:
i) Cables of sizes up to and
including 185 mm2 are
installed at a distance
between centres of twice
the overall diameter of
the cable.
ii) Cables of sizes 240 mm2
and above are installed
af*a distance between
centres of 90 mm.

4. SIZES OF THE DUCTS
4.1 The current ratings specified in the tables applied to cables laid in
ducts of inner diameter of 100 mm and 125 mm.
5. RATING FACTORS
5.1 The current ratings given in the respective tables apply under the

applied provided that the circuits are run with a clearance of at least
75 mm and provided that if the number of circuits exceeds three, they are
installed in a horizontal plane. For cables of sizes above 70 mm2, no reduction in rating need be applied provided that the circuits are run with a
clearance of at least 150 mm, and provided that if the number of circuits
exceeds four, they are installed in a horizontal plane,

7, CIRCX.. PROTECTION
7.1 PVC-insulated cables should not be operated, even for comparatively
Examples:
1. A 3-core aluminium conductored cable of size 185 mm2 laid direct
in the ground can carry a continuous load current of 235 amperes
(tabulated rating ) if the excess current protection is designed to
operate when current exceeds l-3 x 235 = 305 amperes ( Table 4,
co1 3 ) .
2. For a continuous load current of 100 amperes per phase, a 3-core
copper conductored cable of size 35 mm2 installed in air ( tabulated
rating = 110 amperes ) is adequate if the excess current protection is designed to operate when current exceeds 1.5 x 110 = 165
amperes. If the excess cwent protection is designed to operate
when current exceeds say 200 amperes. a cable with a tabulated
rating not less than 0.67 x 200 = 135 amperes will be necessary,
that is, cable with size 50 mm2 (Table 4, co1 6 ).
*The factor applies to cables in ducts when ratings are based on a value of thermal
resistivity of soil of 90% cm/W or higher.
iThis factor is applicable only when ratingis based on a value of thermal resistivity of
soil of 120% cm/W or higher. LUW factor is required for values of thermal resistivity of
soil less than 120% cm/W.
ISr3961(PartII)-1967
3. For a continuous load current of 170 amperes single phase,
aluminium conductored single-core cables of sire 70 mm2 laid in
ground ( tabulated rating ) are adequate if excess current protection is designed to operate when current exceeds 1.3 x 170 = 220
amperes. If the excess current protecton is designed to operate
when current exceeds 300 amperes, cables with a tabulated rating
not less than .0*77 x 300 = 230 amperes will be necessary, that
is, cable with size 120 mm2 ( Table 1, co1 3 ).
