Q2
Calculate the sate of three core XLPL insulated copper cable required to:
(5 marks)
Supply a 2.5 MVA 11 kV transformer from a utility supply which is 5 km away
11 kV 3-core XupE-insulated copper cable is to be used.
The depth of burial of the cable is 1.25 m . Ground thermal resistance is 2KmW. The ground temperature is 25C. There are no other cables in the trench.
Short-circuit level is assumed to be 150 MVA , consider the fault will be cleared in half a second.
Use the derated value of current for voltage drop calculations.
Ensure the chosen size meets the voltage drop limit of 5%.
De-rating factor for depth of burial at 1.25 m is 0.96.(Section 3.8. in DEE_DEEPCA609_Readings_v2)
De-rating factor for soil thermal resistivity at 2KmW is 0.84.
De-rating factor for ground temperature of 25C is 1.00.
Show all calculations.
Note: You can use the data from the cable table below or any other source (manufacturers data sheet). Please supply the manufacturer data sheet with your answer if you are using another source.
