How to calculate HV Cable Sizing & what are the factors to
be considered for selection?.
Answer Posted / ashish tiwari
The HV cbale size shall be base on the fault level on HV
side. Like 18.4KA fault current for 11 KV supply & 21.34 KA
fault current for 33 KV supply. We can calculate the HV
cable
BY USING FORMULA ISH = K x A/( sq. root of T)
Where,
ISH :SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT IN KA (r.m.s.)
T :DURATION OF SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT IN SECONDS
A :AREA OF ALUMINIUM CONDUCTOR IN MM2
K :IS A CONSTANT = 0.094 for aluminium
ISH x Sq.rootT 18.4 x Sq. root 1
A = ------------ = ------------
K 0.094
= 195.7 sq.mm
HENCE 3 C x 240 SQ.MM XLPE (AL) CABLE IS REQUIRED FOR
INCOMING SIDE AS WELL AS OUTGOING SIDE OF 11 KV SUPPLY.

I want to put this query to SENIOR & EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. 1)I want to know about the control circuit diagrams for control panels. I found it difficult to understand. Is there ant booklet through which we can learn the circuit diagrams? 2)I want to learn about conduiting, laying cables, preparing cable schedules and various techniques which is the part of building infrastucture(construction field). I don't have any experience in this area. I have experience in control panels only. that's why i am not getting any opening in building infrastucture (construction field).Can I get the job in this field as Trainee Engineer?
