MCC Busbar - Calculation PDF

The document provides busbar calculations for a medium voltage switchgear. It calculates: 1) The continuous rating of the busbar which is 1000 Amps based on a cross sectional area of 1270 mm^2 per phase and 635 mm^2 for the neutral. After derating factors, the current carrying capacity is 1257 Amps which is above the required 1000 Amps. 2) The short circuit rating of the busbar which needs to withstand 50,000 Amps based on a cross sectional area of 1270 mm^2 per phase and 635 mm^2 for the neutral. The required cross sectional area to withstand this short circuit current is calculated to be 563 mm^2.

BUSBAR CALCULATION ( MCC )


1 CONTINUOUS RATING :-
RATING : 1000 Amps.
SIZE : 1 x 100 x 12.5mm / Phase (1270 mm 2 )
1 x 100 x 6.35mm / Neutral (635 mm 2 )
Nominal Current as I1 per Indal : 1740 Amps.
Derating Factor for Busbar in a
enclosed chamber K1 : 0.85
Derating Factor for Temperature Rise K2 : 0.85
Current carrying capacity I : K1 x K2 x I1
0.85 x 0.85 x 1740
1257 Amps.

This is above 1000 Amps.

2 SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT CALCULATIONS :-


SIZE : 2 x 50 x 12.7mm / Phase (1270 mm 2 )
1 x 50 x 12.7mm / Neutral (635 mm 2 )
Short Circuit rating of 50 KA for 1 second at 415V AC, 50 c/s By Std. Formula
T : C (I/A) 2 x (1 + ) 10 -2

A : C I 2 x (1 + ) 10 -2
T

T : Temperature rise in 1 second in 0°C


200°C - 85°C = 115°C for Aluminium.
C : Constant = 1.166 for Aluminium.
I : R.M.S. value of Short Circuit Current : 50,000 Amps.
A : Area of Cross Section in mm 2
: Temperature coefficient of resistivity at 20°C = 0.00386 for Aluminium.
: Temperature at the instant of short circuit
i.e. Ambient + Permissible Rise - Initial Temperature
50°C + 35°C - 20°C = 65°C

A : 1.166 x 50 2 x 1000000 (1 + 0.00386 x 65) 10 -2

115

= 563 mm 2

Busbar selected are 1270 mm 2 is higher than 563 mm 2
