- 3 phase feeder schedule free

 

Keep the feeders in separate conduits. The Neutral and EG are not current carrying. Tajon said:. Click to expand Carultch Senior Member. Location Massachusetts. Where are you getting these wire sizes from, an engineer?

Why are adjustment factors being applied? I'm nervous about purchasing the wrong wire. There is 7 panels in total and this is my first time running feeders in parallel. The wire is going to be super expensive and I can not afford to order and install the wrong size wire. I overthink things when it comes to thousands of dollars being spent. I also get lost in the code book looking for every single possibility that may apply to my design.

Thanks for reading my post guys. Note in Under normal conditions: For a amp panel, kcmil Cu is fine. For your amp with parallel conduits kcmil Cu would be fine. Do you mean all conductors in one raceway or each set in it's own raceway? Also unless you're doing a data center or some other specific installation where there are a large amount of harmonics the neutral does not count as a CCC. Those windows don't close and can't be changed, but you can access every part in the database from those windows.

Electrical Estimating Software Systems. On the right side of the window are all your input stations. First you have to name the feeder you are inputting. Install the quantity and push enter. Now do the same for elbows, fittings, wire, etc.. Couplings are automatically included on all sizes, except that you must add any couplings required if you add elbows to a run.

When entering wire, note that make-up is highlighted and the number of wires is defaulted to 4. You may adjustment the number of wires by entering the number. Enter the phase conductors first, then the ground wire next. After you entered the phase conductors, the number of wires per run automatically defaults to 1.

The part category window at the left bottom corner is for adding any specials, sub-parts, concrete, excavation, etc. All inputs you entered are then cleared out, ready for the next feeder. Copying Feeders - When you have multiple feeders using the same bill of material you can copy an existing feeder into the new feeder. This eliminates having to repick the same material over and over again.

If your main panel is three phase with a neutral, you can have three phase with a neutral at other sub-panels fed from this panel, too. But, if you feed a sub-panel which only requires single phase from this three phase panel, this sub-panel is now restricted to single-phase which is fed from your three phase panel. This panel will provide the most flexibility to us, but we must pay even closer attention.

Pull one hot, one neutral, and a bond. This would be line-to-phase voltage. If a piece of equipment says V single phase, then you pull two hots, no neutral, and a bond unless your equipment schedule specifies it needs a neutral.

And finally, if a piece of equipment says V three phase, you are required to pull three hots to this equipment and a bond wire.

If the panel only has two phases, then you can only power a piece of equipment with V single phase. I will keep this article simple and just go with Watts as anything else gets into deeper electrical theory.

Long story short, the reason we are wanting to know the ampacity of our equipment is so we can properly size our conductors. Just making up these numbers.

Hopefully it will clear things up. When looking on your panel schedule , it will tell you all the different equipment you have to supply power to from that panel.

Just follow this in order and try to group your pulls together to save yourself time by tackling as many tasks in one pull. If you take the time out to learn prints, you will avoid mistakes, save your company money, and definitely be respected among your peers.

- Three Phase Current - Simple Calculation

  First, the cable should be able to carry the current load imposed on it without overheating. Scnedule resistance of the wires is often measured and given as length-specific resistance, normally in the unit of ohms per kilometer or ohms per feet. Also depends on if it is three phase or single phase and the voltage. Cheers, Nathan.

Also the adjustment factor table is for CCC's in the raceway not the number of conductors. Carultch said:. Is there any standard for what "large amount of harmonics" means in this context? As in, what measurable factor would I look for in the waveform when I see it on an oscilloscope? The neutral counts in conduit fill but not as a CCC.
