Transformer Selection
1. It was decided to provide.
2. Each transformer not to be loaded beyond 60% of its capacity to cater to higher starting currents of AC plant and other pump. 3. 2 Nos. of 2500KVA, 11KV, 433V indoor Dry type cast resin transformers. 1 working and other standby for all the three Transformers. 4. 2 Nos. of 2000KVA, 11KV, 433V indoor Dry type cast resin transformers
Cable Sizing
The sizing of L. T. cables has been done using the fact that the circuit breaker will interrupt fault current in 8 c.p.s. (i.e. 0.16secs) and compensation required for temperature and bunching of cables in cable trays. The sizing of H.T. cables is done on the basis of available data of fault level at site (350MVA) The block diagram is given below

At supply point (i.e. outgoing of Tata Electric Circuit Breaker) Isc = 350 MVA 3 x 11kV = 18.37 kA
Assuming conductor area to A mm and time duration of 1 sec Isc = 0.094 A/ t 0.094 A/ t 195.43 mm ------------------------------------- (a)
18.37 = A =

Fault level calculation For Mhada- Bandra The said cable should cater to normal full load current corresponding to 6.5 MVA at 11kV 6500 kVA Imax = 3 x 11kV = 341 Amps ------------------------------------ (b)
From the cable manufacturers data table 3C x 400 mm cable is necessary to satisfy conditions (a) and (b) for XLPE (E) cable Length of Cable A is about 30 Mtrs. Impendence of Cable A = 0.10 x 30 /1000 = 0.003Ohms The equivalent impedence for 350 MVA fault level is 11kV/ 3 350 MVA/3 x 11kV = 0.346 Ohms. Ohms
Therefore total impedence at the owners 11 kV V.C.B panel is 0.3460 + 0.002 = 0.348 Ohms And prospective short circuit current is Isc 1.2 = 11 kV/3 = 0.34922Ohms 18.24kA
Calculation for Cable B: Full load current on Cable B is equivalent to 2500 kVA at 11kV is ----2500 3 x 11 = 131.21Amps
From manufacturers data for XLPE(E) cables the size of cable B should be 3C x 150 mm cable assuming fault will be closed in 0.3 seconds. 1.3 Calculation for Cable C : Full load current is 2500 kVA 3 x 0.415 kV = 3478 Amps

The impedence at the secondary side of the transformer is the sum of equivalent impedence of Tata Electric Supply network, the cable A, the cable B (all reflected on secondary side) plus impedence of the transformer Assuming transformer impedence to be 6.25% is V x X% , where V is secondary voltage = (415) x 6.25 2500 x 10 100 = 0.00431 Ohms
The fault current at the secondary current of the transformer is -------Isc = 415 / 3 0.00481 = 49.86 kA
The route length of the busduct is C is 50 Mtrs. The impedence of 4000A Cu busduct R = = = ( L / A) x (0.02825 x 50 / 3500) 0.000404 Ohms
Thus total impedence of incoming side of Main L.T.Panel is = = (0.00481 + .000848) 0.00521 Ohms
The prospective fault will be at Man L. T. Panel ----Isc = 415 / 3 0.00521 = 45.95 kA
