Calculation method for IEC:
• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• Add 10 % to the total compressor current (I
tot
Pack or I
tot
FF from the tables)
• Install the prescribed fuse on each cable
• Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
• Add 10 % to the total compressor current (I
tot
Pack or I
tot
FF from the tables) and divide
by 2
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (see table A.52.17 (52-E1))
• Install fuses of half the size of the recommended maximum fuse size on each cable.
• When using 2 x 3 phases + PE as in (3):
• Add 10 % to the total compressor current (I
tot
Pack or I
tot
FF from the tables) and divide
by √3
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (see table A.52.17 (52-E1))
• Fuse size: the recommended maximum fuse size divided by √3 on each cable.
• Size of the PE cable:
• For supply cables up to 35 mm²: same size as supply cables
• For supply cables larger than 35 mm²: half the size of the supply wires
Always check the voltage drop over the cable (less than 5 % of the nominal voltage is
recommended).
Example: I
tot
= 89 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C, recommended fuse = 100 A
• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• I = 89 A + 10 % = 89 x 1.1 = 97.9 A
