EXAMPLE ACTUAL ( MADINA PROJECT )

1000 AMP. FOR A/C PANEL , FEEDER 3 X ( 3X300+150 ) MM2 ,UNARMOURED ON CABLE TRAY TEMP 50 C
CHECK THE AMPACITY AFTER DERATING
AMPACITY FROM TABLE 7 FOR THE MENTION CABLE , ( 571 ) AMP.

DERATING FACTOR ACC TO 3 CABLE IN GROUP AND TEMP, 50 C , TABLES 20,18
DERATING FACTORS = ( 0,78 X 0.89 ) = 0.69
DERATING AMPACITY = 571 X ( 0,78 X 0.89 ) X 3 = 1189 AMP.
