LOAD CALCULATION, CABLE SIZING AND PANELS' DESIGN

A- PANELS DESIGN

1- Panels design is based on the nature of the load and on the information supplied by
other identities e.g. plumping and a/c engineers.
2- All branch circuits for power and lighting are designed to carry 20 amperes with 20 amperes
overload according to NEC art 220
3- All circuit breakers were sized for 125 % of the pannel rated load after applying demand factor
4- The main panel circuit breaker were designed according to NEC art 230

B- CABLE SIZING

1- Cable sizes are determined according to the rated load of the panels after applying demand factor
and derating factor according to cables laying nature based on the following basis:
1- The earthing system is TN-S
2- The cables are XLPE
3- The Design Temprature is 50C, therefore the derating factor kt = 0.75
4- Cables for secondary panels are in wall mounted conduits or on a cable tray(Single Core Cables), the derating factor k1=0.84
Cables for secondary panels are in wall mounted conduits or on a cable tray(Multi-Core Cables), the derating factor k1=0.86
5- Cables for sub-main panels are in ground ducts with 2 adjacent circuits and clerance 0.25m, therefore the derating factor k1=0.82
6- Cables for main panels are in open trenches with two adjacent circuits, therefore the derating factor k1 = 0.9
7- NEC art 310 table 16 and NEC table 5 chap 9 had been employed to determin the condutor size
according to the applied load.
In the following please find the panels' tables that includes all circuit breakers and cable sizes

Therefore the derating factor employed for cable calculation will be:
The total derating factor for secondary panels (Single Core Cables) = ktxk1= 0.75x0.84 = 0.63 = approx.0.6
The total derating factor for secondary panels (Multi-Core Cables)= ktxk1= 0.75x0.86 = 0.645 = approx.0.65
The total derating factor for sub-main panels = ktxk1= 0.75x0.8 = approx.0.6
The total derating factor for main panels = ktxk1= 0.75x0.9 = approx.0.7

C- CONDUIT SELECTION
The dimension of conduits is selected according to the outer diameter of the cable passing through
it plus 25% space
