what is the electricity

Answer Posted / gopal manda

Electricity is a form of energy. Electricity is the flow of
electrons. All matter is made up of atoms, and an atom has
a center, called a nucleus. The nucleus contains positively
charged particles called protons and uncharged particles
called neutrons. The nucleus of an atom is surrounded by
negatively charged particles called electrons. The negative
charge of an electron is equal to the positive charge of a
proton, and the number of electrons in an atom is usually
equal to the number of protons. When the balancing force
between protons and electrons is upset by an outside force,
an atom may gain or lose an electron. When electrons
are "lost" from an atom, the free movement of these
electrons constitutes an electric current.

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?
