How to calculate HT XLPE CABLE for 11 kv / 433 v , 1500 kva
oil type transformer system?
plz provide step by step calculation

Answer Posted / s.srinivasan

Generally HT cable sizing is not done based on the full
load current of the equipment but based on the prospective
fault level. For a 11kV network, generally it shall not be
less than 150sqmm XLPE.

Fault level at 11kV(furnished by respective EB)=100 MVA(say)

Details on EB's fault level can be obtained from EB.

Therefore fault current= 100*1000/(SQRT(3)*11000)
= 5.25 kA

Short circuit current rating (for 3-sec duration)of HT 11kV
XLPE cables with Alu conductor is as below:
95 sqmm: 5.16 kA
120 sqmm: 6.51 kA
150 sqmm: 8.14 kA
