Cable Size Calculation

Ampere calculation for single anchor winch:

P = √3 x V x I x cosΦ x η

630 = √3 x 0.69 x I x 0.85 x 0.962 (Values are taken from motor nameplate, refer page no.2)

I = 644.67 A

From Cable Datasheet:

Current carrying capacity of 1 run of 3C x 95 sq.mm = 259A (Refer page no. 4)

Current carrying capacity of 4 runs of 3C x 95 sq.mm = 4 x 259A = 1036 A

De-rating factor

(A) Assuming double banking of cables = 0.8


(B) Due to variation in ambient temperature (50 0C) = 0.95

Total de-rating factor = 0.8 X 0.95 = 0.76

Diversified cable rating = 0.76 x 1036 = 787.36 A

Conclusion:

From the above calculation, it is evident that 4 Runs of 3C x 95 sq.mm will be sufficient to cater the
ampere requirement of the single anchor winch.
