what is derated current of power cable & what is formule to
find derated current?

Answer Posted / mahesh sali

See , the formula for derated current is nothing bu derated
factor .
Mostly derated factor depends upon the following points.

Way of cable laying i.e. on cable trays / duct / pipe etc(
open to air or into the Hume pipe or under ground )

Cable laying by grouping & having distance between two
cable as per individual manufacturer recommandation .

Each manufacture gives the deration factor for the above
stated point.

Deration means your cable carry the less current below your
rated capacity due the above reason.

take example.

suppose
1.5 sq.mm. cu carrying the current around 12 amp.in open to
air at 25 deg.c ref. temp. as per cable manufacturer

after considering the above stated point

if suppose my deration factor would be around 0.6
then deration current of above cable would be - 12 *
0.6=7.2amp
it means that your cable carry the less cuurent do the way
of laying , temp. cable grouping etc.

i hope above inf. sufficient for understanding

thanks

generally in LT and MV motors we are using 3.5Coresx16,25,35,50 etc cable for supply.although motors is earthed at two point and having all protection.then why we are using that 1/2 core for earthing the motors.while in HT cable we are using only 3core cable for motor supply.generally lt and mv motors are delta connected and ht motors having star connection.whethere it is having any relation with winding connection( star or delta).all motors i am talking about are dol only.can anybody solve my confusion.thanks...

need to make a report. Need to choose a 3phase induction motor. Load conditions motor will operate in : Maximum Load: 30 Kw Speed: 2950 rpm Ambient temp: 20 cent Supply voltage: 440V Frequency: 50Hz need to look for the safety factor when choosing the motor, went through catalouge found a few, but dont know how to choose the safety factor allowing an extra load something above 30 KW to avoid any harm.
