Project:-
3) Housing derating
This shows that bus bars are capable of working in above condition, without much of
Hence Design is safe.
Note:- Tables were taken as reference from K.C. Agarwal Book.
VOLTAGE DROP CALCULATION
1of4
From the Table "5" & interploating, we get value of "K" = 1.16
Since, RAC
= K
RDC
here,'S' is space between two bars and 'a' & 'b' are thickness & width of the bar respectivily.
= 1.26 x 85 10

10 + 160 160

= 0.63 0.062
= 0.072 m/mtr.

Power loss,
PL = Vd x I
= 0.08 x 2500
PL = 200 watts
PL = 0.2 KW
Minium cross section of conductor required to withstand temp rise due to short circuit current
it can be calculate by formula
Hence, Area is
A = 50 x 1000 x 1
2.17 x 10^4 Log 10 200 + 258
85 + 258
A = 6.76 Sq.cm
The cross section area of provided conductor is 32 sqcm which is above the requirement .
S-a = 85 - 10 = 0 0.44
a+b 10 + 160

And
a = 10 = 0.0625
b 160
Each phase having two circuit,hence[ISC = 50KA /2] , So, the force developed during short
circuit is given by (Putting in above formula)
Fm = 7882.3 N/m
or Fm = 803.7 Kg/m
The supports used at every 200 mm apart for this total force acting on each support shall be
= 803.7 x 0.2
= 160. .."A"
