Dimensioning a short circuit-resistant cable system
The following factors should be considered when designing a cable support system:
- Peak short circuit current ip (kA)
- Sustained short circuit current i"K (kA)
- Operating voltage UN (kV)
- Cable type, cable design, sectional view and maximum permitted deflection of the cable
- Maximum outer diameter of the cable (m)
- For single cable routing, the centre-to-centre distance of the cables (m)
- Distance between Cable Clamps (m)
- Length of the cable route (m)
- Dynamic short circuit resistance of the Cable Clamp (N)
- Dynamic resistance to short circuits of the substructure and of the fastening material (N)
