TEMPERATURE RISE CALCULATION

1) Current carrying capacity of conductor(200 x 10) 4750 Amp


for Two bars (refer to table 1)

2) Uprating by Interleaved design 4750 x 1.18


(refer to table 2) 5605Amp

2) Temperature rise derating factor for 35 C rise 5605 x 0.815


over 50C ambient (refer to table 3) 4568 Amp

3) Housing derating

Area of conductor x 100 = 200 x 10 x 7 x 100 = 4.3%


Area of enclosure 760 x 420

Derating factor due to enclosure size 4568 x .75


(refer to table 4) 3426 Amp

4) Derating factor due to busbar alloy factor 3426 x .97


(refer to table 1) 3323 Amp

This shows that bars are capable of working in above condition, without much of
Hence Design is safe.

VOLTAGE DROP CALCULATION

RDC at 20c = 3.133 x 100


Area of conductor ([Link])
(refer to table 8,electrical resitivity)
or (RDC |20c ) = 15.6 /mtr
= 0.0156 m/mtr.

Ratio of width to thickness 200


= = 20

1of4
= = 20
10

From the Table "5" & interploating, we get value of "K" = 1.15

Since, RAC
= K
RDC

we get, RAC = 1.15 x 0.0156


(at 20 degree) = 0.0179 m/mtr.

Since the operating temprature have been considered to be 85 C

RAC at 85c = (RAC |20c ) [1+20 (ot - rt )

20 = Temperature co-efficient of resistance


From the Table "9" 0.0033 per C at 20C

ot = operating temperature [i.e. 85 C]


rt = reference temperature [i.e. 20 C]
Note:- Tables were taken as reference from K.C. Agarwal Book.
So, [By putting values &calculation ]

RAC at 85c = 0.022 m/mtr.

Now by using relation = 1.26. S a


&
a+b b

here,'S' is space between two bars and 'a' & 'b' are thickness & width of the bar respectivily.

= 1.26 x 95 10
&
10 + 200 200
&
= 0.57 0.05

From (Table 6 ) we get value of reactance (a/b and 1.26.S/a+b)


Note:- Tables were taken as reference from K.C. Agarwal Book.
X = 64 /mtr
0.064 m/mtr.

Impedance (Z) = X + RAC | 85c

= 0.06 m/mtr.
m/mtr.
(Due to double layer design, value of "Z" become halved)
Voltage Drop = IxZ
= 3200 x 0.06
= 192 mV/mtr.

2of4
= 0.192 V/mtr.
= 0.096 V/mtr.
( for Phase splitting and interleaved design,volatge drop get halved)
This show's that, the voltage drop is minimum for mtr. Length run

Power loss,
PL = Vd x I
= 0.096 x 3200
PL = 307 watts
PL = 0.307 KW

SHORT CIRCUIT CALCULATION

Minium cross section of conductor required to withstand temp rise due to short circuit current
it can be calculate by formula

Isc = 2.17 x A x 10^4 Log10 f + 258


t i + 258

Isc = Short circuit current (i.e. 50KA)


A = Area of cross section of conductor in [Link]
t = Duration of short circuit ( i.e. 1 second)
f = Final temperature after short circuit ( i.e.200C)
i = Intial temperature before short circuit (i.e. 85C)

Hence, Area is

A = 50 x 1000 x 1
2.17 x 10^4 Log 10 200 + 258
85 + 258

A = 6.76 [Link]

The cross section area of provided conductor is 40 sqcm which is above the requirement .

DYNAMIC FORCES (ELECTRODYNAMIC FORCE )

Developed between bus bars due to short circuit current


Formula Used
Fm = 16 x ISC x 10-4 x K N/mt
S

Where Fm is force between conductor in N/mt


Isc = R.M.S value of short circuit current in Amp (50KA)
S = centre space between two conductor

3of4
K = Space factor for rectangular conductor's which is function
of size & spacing between two conductor.
a = Thickness of conductor pair( i.e.10mm)
b = Width of conductor (i.e. 200 mm)

Which is calculated as under -

S-a = 95 - 10 = 0.4
a+b 10+ 200

And

a = 10 = 0.05
b 200

The value of K is 0.65 (refer to table 7)


Note:- Tables were taken as reference from K.C. Agarwal Book.

Each phase having two circuit,hence[ISC = 50KA /2] , So, the force developed during short circuit is given
(Putting in above formula)

Fm = 16 x 25 x 25 x 1000 x 1000 x 0.65


95 x 10000

Fm = 6842.1 N/m
or Fm = 697.6 Kg/m

(1) 1 Nm = 1/9.807 Kgfm

FRP Bus Bar Support

The supports used at every 200 mm apart for this total force acting on each support shall be
= 697.6 x 0.2
= 139.5 .."A"
STRESS ON BUS BAR SUPPORT

So the bearing area of support


(Depth x thickness of support x 2) = 90 x 10 x 2
= [Link] / 18 [Link]

Flexural strength of support is = 1350 Kg/cm2

Force support can withstand


(Bearing area x Flexural Strength) = 18 x 1350 = 24300 Kg .. "B"
