Fault Current: Larsen & Toubro Limited

The document provides an earthing design calculation for a primary substation project in Madinat Al Nahdah. It calculates the maximum earth fault current to be 2kA based on the 33kV system being resistance grounded through a 19 ohm resistor. It also notes that the actual fault current would be lower than 2kA since the source and substations are interconnected by cable. The minimum required size for the main grid conductor for a 25kA fault current over 3 seconds is calculated to be 186sq.mm, but a 300sq.mm (50 x 6mm) copper flat will be used instead to meet OES requirements.

Earthing Design
Fault Current
The 33kV system at Grid end is Resistance Grounded through 19ohms resistor. Hence the single
Line to ground fault is limited to
= (33/3)*1000
19
= 1002 amps.
Considering the fault occurs when two transformers are paralleled, the maximum earth fault
current at source is considered as 2kA.
It can also be seen that, the corresponding source end substation and SIP-B substation are
interconnected through cable. Hence, if any Single Line to Ground fault occurs, then the actual
current will be lower than 2kA
Main Grid Conductor
As per the conductor sizing attached as per the conductor sizing calculation, the minimum
conductor size required for a fault current of 25kA and for duration of 3sec is [Link].
However, as per OES requirement, the cross section will be [Link] i.e 50 x 6mm cu. Flat.
