==========

Electrical DEAN for Mobile Devices is an electrical design analysis app based on the Philippine Electrical Code, the SI Modernized Metric System, and equivalent provisions from the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70).



Electrical design analysis is primarily about detailed calculations of wire gauges, conduit sizes, protective device ratings, fault currents, voltage drops and other technical matters necessary for the safe and proper operation of electrical systems.

The Electrical DEAN mobile app is intended as an educational tool for those who are new in the electrical trade, and as a research tool for veterans who need quick calculations to compare with their own electrical designs.




Currently, it covers the fundamentals of electrical design analysis: conductor and conduit data, fault currents and voltage drops (1-phase and 3-phase), and general-purpose circuit sizing (circuit breakers, wires, and raceways). Advanced analytic functions shall be added as the development moves forward.

WIRE AMPACITIES, INSULATORS, AND IMPEDANCES Below are some useful tables pertaining to ampacities, insulators, and impedances of various wires. These are derived from the 2017 Philippine Electrical Code [ or the 2017 National Electrical Code ], but are rearranged in a manner that is easier to interpret and understand. 1.) Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors in Raceway. The areas, ampacities, and insulation types of the following tables are based on 2017 PEC Table 3.10.2.6(B)(16) [ or 2017 NEC Table 310.15(B)(16) ]. 1.1.) Copper Wire Ampacities --------------------------------------- |  Copper  |  Insulation Max Op. Temp | --------------------------------------- |   Area   | 60degC | 75degC | 90degC | |   mm^2   |  Amps  |  Amps  |  Amps  | --------------------------------------- |    2.0   |    15  |    20  |    25  | |    3.5   |    20  |    25  |    30  | |    5.5   |    30  |    35  |    40  | |    8.0   |    40  |    50  |    55  | |   14.0   |    55  |    65

RACEWAY SIZES (CONDUIT AND TUBING) 1.) Raceway Sizing There are three options for sizing raceways according to 2017 PEC Table 10.1.1.1 [ or 2017 NEC Chapter 9 Table 1 ], based on cross-sectional areas: A.) 53% raceway area for 1 conductor (a multiconductor cable is treated as a single conductor [Note 9]) B.) 31% raceway area for 2 conductors C.) 40% raceway area for over 2 conductors 1.1.) Choosing Between Alternatives For future expansion purposes, option (A) is far from practical. This may have use in very specific installations that are assumed to be not needing any expansions, but upgrades will definitely happen and option (A) will eventually become a bottleneck. Option (B) for 2 conductors having a smaller area than either option (A) for 1 conductor or option (C) for over 2 conductors may seem nonsensical, but it actually does make sense. Having 2 conductors usually means 2 live wires supplying loads that may require an equipment grounding conductor (EGC) later on

This post demonstrates how to estimate the kiloAmpere Interrupting Capacity (kAIC) rating of the first circuit breaker at the secondary side of a transformer using the Infinite Bus Method. The method assumes infinite supply from the primary side with negligible line impedances. Below is a modified version of Example D13 (Available Short Circuit Current)  in Appendix D of the 2017 Philippine Electrical Code (PEC). SITUATION Two adjacent buildings are supplied by two different distribution transformers. One transformer is single-phase rated 100kVA, 230V with 2.5% impedance. The other is three-phase rated 100kVA, 230V line-to-line and also has 2.5% impedance. What minimum kAIC ratings are needed for the first circuit breakers down the line of each transformer to safely interrupt the maximum symmetrical fault currents? ANALYSIS 1.) SINGLE-PHASE TRANSFORMER LOAD-SIDE SUB-CIRCUIT Base Power, 1ph: S,base = 100kVA Base Voltage, 1ph: V,base = 230V Impedance, given: Z
