Hand Book by Prasanth

This document provides guidelines for designing electrical systems including: 1. Standard ratings for fuses, circuit breakers, and distribution boards that should be used. 2. Steps for designing a transformer substation including selecting the transformer rating, protection devices, cables, and busbars based on the load requirements. 3. Guidelines for selecting starters, cables, and fuses for induction motors of different ratings. 4. Criteria for sizing outgoing feeders from the main switchboard based on the rating of the incoming device to achieve proper fuse grading protection.

DESIGN OF 11kV/433V TRANSFORMER SUBSTATION

Transformer is required if total load ≥63KW

Total Load in KVA=Total Load in KW / pf, where pf=0.8

Maximum demand in KVA=Total Load in KVA/ Diversity factor, Diversity factor=1.5

Consider 20% extra for future expansion.

Check: Transformer rating ≥ 2.5*HP rating of highest capacity motor

Use Oil cooled Transformer for outdoor substation and Resin cast Dry type transformer for indoor
substation. Winding connection should be delta Star (DYN11) with star side neutral double earthed.
