This book focuses on worked examples and keeps associated theoretical aspects to a minimum, furnishing the reader with the knowledge to carry out the necessary checks to electrical cable sizing software programmes . The book covers cross-sectional areas of circuit live conductors, voltage drop under normal load conditions, and earth fault loop impendances-- This book focuses on worked examples and keeps associated theoretical aspects to a minimum, furnishing the reader with the knowledge to carry out the necessary checks to electrical cable sizing software programmes. The book covers cross-sectional areas of circuit live conductors, voltage drop under normal load conditions, and earth fault loop impendances. It also has chapters on protective conductor cross-sectional areas and short circuit conditions. The final chapter combines all the calculations of the previous chapters to enable the reader to achieve the complete design of a circuit. This fourth edition includes important changes that take into account the 2008 updates to the BSI wiring regulations. It will be the first book on electrical installation calculations specifically, to incorporate these modifications. Fully revised to reflect the changes in the 17th edition of the wiring regulations (published June 2008), including updated information on 230 volt references. Includes new sections on buried cables that take into account soil thermal conductivity, trenches and grouping, allowing readers to carry out accurate cables sizing. Supplies information and examples of steel wired armour cables, also new to this edition.-- Provided by publisher. Manual calculations are still extensively used and in particular are necessary for checking and verifying various software calculation design packages. It is highly recommended that users of such software familiarise themselves with the rudiments of these calculations prior to using these software packages.This essential book fills the gap between software and manual calculations. It provides the reader with all the necessary tools to enable accurate calculations of circuit designs. Rather than complex equations, this book uses extensive worked examples to make understanding the calculations simpler. The focus on worked examples furnishes the reader with the knowledge to carry out the necessary checks to electrical cable sizing software programmes.Other key features include:Updated information on 230 volt references and voltage drop under normal load conditionsNew sections on buried cables that take into account soil thermal conductivity, trenches and grouping, allowing readers to carry out accurate cables sizingInformation and examples of steel wired armour cables, new to this edition. This includes sufficiency during short circuits and, for cables with externally run CPCs, gives unique fault conditions.Covers calculations of cross-sectional areas of circuit live conductorsEarth fault loop impedancesProtective conductor cross-sectional areas and short circuit conditionsShort circuit protectionThe last chapter combines all of the calculations of the previous chapters to enable the reader to complete an accurate design of an installation circuit under all conditions.A unique tool for the electrical installation trade, this extensively updated fourth edition is invaluable to electricians, electrical designers, installers, technicians, contractors, and plant engineers. Senior electrical engineering students, technical colleges, junior engineers, and contracts managers will also find this text useful.
