Thank you all for your replies.
Lionel, that is exactly what I want for my project. We are taking our peak load from our peak day of the year (usually in late july or early august) and we compare average loads from different days to that peak load day. Not a great way to do it, but that's what...
The reason I am doing this is because we are about to implement a new system called DMS (distribution load management) to make our grid more 'smart gridy', and so I need to find the current carrying capacity (ampacity) for each type of cable given normal temp of 90C and emergency temp of 130C...
I am sorry!
I meant 0.9 Load factor, not power factor! I posted the question here toward the end of my shift.
I ran some simulations in CYMCAP and for a 500 CU cable the difference in ampacity going from a 1.0 to 0.9 LF is 3.33% increase ... then I ran the same simulations but for a 2/0 CU...
Hello
I ran simulations using CYMCAP to figure out the ampacities for each of our cables. I ran all of my simulations using 1.0 power factor assuming the worst case scenario. But now, my boss wants me to find the ampacities at 0.9 load factor instead! is there a table of multipliers of...
