Fictitious Calculation Method: A. 4x4 MM CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC 0.6/1 KV

This document outlines the fictitious calculation method for determining cable dimensions according to IEC 60502-1. It calculates the dimensions for two cable designs: 1) a 4x4 mm2 CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC cable and 2) a 4x4 mm2 CU/XLPE/LEAD/SWA/PVC cable. For each design, it determines the fictitious diameters of the conductor, cores, inner covering, armor, and other components by applying coefficients and thickness values from tables in IEC 60502-1.

Fictitious Calculation method

a. 4x4 mm2 CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC 0.6/1 kV

1. Conductor (4 mm2):
Fictitious diameter of conductor
dL = 2.3 mm

2. Cores:
The fictitious diameter Dc of any core is given by:
Dc = dL + 2ti

Where ti is the nominal thickness of insulation, ti = 0.7 mm


Therefore,
Dc = 2.3 + 2*0.7
= 3.7 mm

3. Diameter over laid-up cores


The fictitious diameter over laid-up cores (Df) is given by:
Df = k Dc
Where the assembly coefficient k is 2.42 for a four-cores cable
Therefore,
Df = 2.42 * 3.7 = 9.0 mm

4. Thickness of extruded inner covering


As per table 8.0 of IEC 60502-1, if the fictitious diameter over laid-up cores
above - mm up to and including 25 mm, the nominal thickness of extruded
inner covering is 1.0 mm.

5. Inner Coverings
The fictitious diameter over the inner covering (DB) is given by:
DB = Df + 2 tB

Where tB = 0.4 mm for fictitious diameter over laid-up cores (Df ) up to and including
40 mm

DB = 9.0 + 2 * 0.4
= 9.8 mm

6. Armour
The nominal diameters of round armour wires shall be as per table 9.0 of
IEC 60502-1. As per table 9.0 of IEC 60502-1, if the fictitious diameter
under the armour above - mm up to and including 10 mm, the nominal
diameter of round armour wires shall be 0.8 mm.

1. Conductor (4 mm2):
Fictitious diameter of conductor
dL = 2.3 mm

2. Cores:
The fictitious diameter Dc of any core is given by:
Dc = dL + 2ti

Where ti is the nominal thickness of insulation, ti = 0.7 mm


Therefore,
Dc = 2.3 + 2*0.7
= 3.7 mm

3. Diameter over laid-up cores


The fictitious diameter over laid-up cores (Df) is given by:
Df = k Dc
Where the assembly coefficient k is 2.42 for a four-cores cable
Therefore,
Df = 2.42 * 3.7 = 9.0 mm

4. Thickness of extruded inner covering


As per table 8.0 of IEC 60502-1, if the fictitious diameter over laid-up cores
above - mm up to and including 25 mm, the nominal thickness of extruded
inner covering is 1.0 mm.

5. Inner Coverings
The fictitious diameter over the inner covering (DB) is given by:
DB = Df + 2 tB

Where tB = 0.4 mm for fictitious diameter over laid-up cores (Df ) up to and including
40 mm

DB = 9.0 + 2 * 0.4
= 9.8 mm

6. Lead sheath
The fictitious diameter over the lead sheath (Dpb) is given by:
Dpb = Dg + 2 tpb

Where
Dpb is the fictitious diameter under the lead sheath in millimetres;
tpb is the thickness calculated in accordance with clause 11, in millimetres;

As per clause 11,


tpb = 0.03 Dg + 0.7
= 1. 0 mm

But, the as per clause 11, the smallest nominal thickness of lead sheath shall not be
less than 1.2 mm.
Page 2/3
Therefore, the fictitious diameter over the lead sheath (Dpb) is given by:
Dpb = Dg + 2 tpb
= 9.8 + 2 * 1.2
= 12.2 mm

7. Separation sheath
The fictitious diameter over the separation sheath (Ds) is given by:
Ds = Du + 2 ts

Where
Du is the fictitious diameter under the separation sheath in millimetres;
ts is the thickness calculated in accordance with clause 12.3.3, in millimetres;

As per clause 12.3.3,


tpb = 0.02 Du + 0.6
= 0.02 * 12.2 + 0.6
= 0.8 mm

But, as per clause 12.3.3, the nominal thickness of the separation sheath shall not be
less than 1.0 mm where applied directly over the lead sheath.

Therefore, the fictitious diameter over the separation sheath (Ds) is given by:
Ds = Du + 2 ts
= 12.2 + 2 *1.0
= 14.2

8. Armour
The nominal diameters of round armour wires shall be as per table 9.0 of
IEC 60502-1. As per table 9.0 of IEC 60502-1, if the fictitious diameter
under the armour above 10 mm up to and including 15 mm, the nominal
diameter of round armour wires shall be 1.25 mm.

Note that as per IEC 60502-1 all the value shall be rounded to 0.1 mm
