We have drive feeding an output contactor for a 5000 hp
motor @ 5kV application.
The motor FLA is 629amps x 1.25% service factor = 786.25
amps
The cable that we current have in place between the drive
and the output contactor is 350kcmil- MV-105 (parallel
cables). Per the NEC table 310.60 (C) (69). This show the
cable ampacity is at 615 amps per cable for a rating of
1230 amps.
We have derated the cable for the cable tray and the
multiple cables application and our calculations show that
after the correction factor factor we are at 922amps.
1230 amps x .75% correction factor factor = 922.5 amps.
The customer is driving us to then use another safety
factor of .25% off of the already derated cable. Can you
please provide a longhand calculation for your solution on
this application?

During he starting up of the motor, the upstream's MCCB (350A) always trips due to the UVT relay activated. Can Star-delta starter use for a 20kW Motor (For a powder mixer machine) cause voltage-dip in the supply line voltage? If so, what are the recommended solution to eliminate/reduce the transient voltage dip in the line voltage?
Is electro plating what type of load whether resistive, inductive or capacitive loads
What is main cause of cable's terminal point burned in Lug on high temperature although lug and cable selection is ok as per stantard and also tightness is ok as per situation. so please take in deep and tell correct answer thanku.
