Copper Tape Size: 25 X 6mm

This document calculates the required cable sizing for earthing cables connecting various electrical equipment to the ground bar based on the equipment ratings and fault current calculations. It determines that the HT switchgear frame earth cable should be 25 x 6 mm copper tape, the transformer frame earth cable and MSB frame earth cable should also be 25 x 6 mm copper tape, the transformer neutral earth cable should be 2 x 185mm2 PVC cable, the generator set neutral earth cable should be 1 x 95mm2 PVC cable, and the generator set frame earth cable should be 25 x 3 mm copper tape.

Earthing Cable Sizing Calculation (Equipment to Ground bar)

Transformer = 2000 kVA Zpu (TX) = 6%


rated Voltage = 400 V
Full Load Current for transformer

Ib = KVA/1.732*V

= 2886.84 A

Fault Current

IscLV = Ib/Zpu (TX)

= 48113.93 A
48.11 kA

ADIABATIC EQUATION

S = sqrt(Isc²t)/K S= Conductor cross section area

HT switchgear Frame Earth ( equipment to ground bar)

IscHT = 20 kA t = 1.5 s ref: TNB Ehsa 3.1


k = 228 bare copper tape

S= 107.43 mm2 Copper Tape size: 25 x 6mm

Transformer Neutral Earth Cable ( equipment to ground bar)

IscLV = 48.11 kA t= 1s
k = 143 PVC cable

S= 336.46 mm2 cable size: 2x185mm2 pvc cable

Transformer frame Earth ( equipment to ground bar)

IscLV = 48.11 kA t = 0.7 s


k = 228 bare copper tape

S= 176.56 mm2 Copper Tape size: 25 x 6mm

MSB frame Earth ( equipment to ground bar)

IscLV = 48.11 kA t = 0.5 s


k = 228 bare copper tape

S= 149.22 mm2 Copper Tape size: 25 x 6mm


Earthing Cable Sizing Calculation

Generator Set Rating = 750 kVA Subtransient Reactance( x"d) = 12%


Rated Voltage = 415 V

Full Load Current for Generator

Ib = KVA/1.732*V

= 1043.43 A

Fault Current

IscGEN = Ib/X"d = 8695.29 A


8.70 kA

ADIABATIC EQUATION

S = sqrt(Isc²t)/K S= Conductor cross section area

Generator Neutral Earth Cable ( from equipment to ground bar)

IscGEN = 8.70 kA t= 1s
k = 143 pvc cable

S= 60.81 mm2 cable size: 1x95mm2 pvc cable

Generator Frame Earth Cable ( from equipment to ground bar)

S= 60.81 mm2 Copper Tape size: 25 x 3mm

Summary:

HT Frame Earth = 25 x 6 mm Copper Tape


Transformer Frame Earth = 25 x 6 mm Copper Tape
Transformer Neutral Earth = 2 x 185mm2 pvc cable
MSB Frame Earth = 25 x 6 mm Copper Tape
Genset Neutral Earth = 1 x 95mm2 pvc cable
Genset Frame Earth = 25 x 3 mm Copper Tape
