Check For Continuous Thermal Withstand Capacity of The Conductor (BASED ON IEC 61597)

This document calculates the continuous thermal withstand capacity of an electrical conductor based on IEC 61597 standards. It determines the solar heat gain, heat loss by radiation and convection from the conductor. Using these heat transfer calculations and electrical resistance of the conductor, it derives a maximum current capacity of 2013.66 Amps. Factoring in two conductors and a safety factor of 0.75, the total current carrying capacity is calculated to be 3020.5 Amps, which exceeds the required 3000 Amps. Therefore, the conclusion is that the conductor is suitable for the application.

CHECK FOR CONTINUOUS THERMAL WITHSTAND CAPACITY OF THE CONDUCTOR

(BASED ON IEC 61597)

Required current carrying capacity of conductor 3000 Amps

Psol = Solar heat gain by the conductor surface


Psol=Ɣ *D*St=30.72 W/m (eqn. (3), IEC 61597)

Ɣ =The solar absorption coefficient =0.8

D=The conductor diameter = 0.038m


St= The intensity of solar radiation=1000 W/m 2

Prad = Heat Loss by Radiation of the conductor


Prad= S*π*D*Ke*(T24-T14) (eqn. (4), IEC 61597)
= 92 W/m
S= Stefan Boltzman constant = 5.67E-08 Wm -2 K-4
D= Conductor Diameter = 0.038 m
Ke= Emissivity coefficient in respect to black body=0.6
T1= Ambient Temperature [K] = 313k
T2= Final Temperature[K] = 423K
Pconv= Convection heat Loss
Pconv= λt*Nu*(T2-T1)*π = 186.47 W/m (eqn. (5), IEC 61597)
λt =Thermal conductivity of air film in contact with the conductor = 0.0285w.m -1k-1
Re= Reynolds Number = 1.644*109*vD [T2-T1]-1.78 = 1080.831 k
Nu= The Nusselt Number = 0.65Re0.2+0.23Re0.61= 18.9332
T1= Ambient Temperature =313k
T2= Final Temperature = 423k
Pj= Heat Generated by Joule Effect
Pj=RT * I2
n= Number of conductor = 2
RT= The electrical resistance of conductor at a temperature T = R dc(150)*K=0.0611
Ω/km
Rdc(20)= 0.04234 Ω/km
Rdc(150)= 0.06 Ω/km
α = Temperature coefficient of resistance = 0.004k -1
K= Skin effect coefficient = 1.00662
μ= Permeability (for non magnetic material) = 1
f = system frequency= 50Hz

P rad + P conv−P sol
