The derating factor for cables is calculated by considering various environmental factors such as ambient temperature, grouping of cables, and installation conditions. First, determine the cable's current-carrying capacity based on its specifications. Then, apply correction factors from relevant standards or tables for each influencing factor, multiplying these factors together to obtain the overall derating factor. Finally, multiply the original capacity by the derating factor to find the adjusted capacity for safe operation.

What is current value after derating factor considered?

Once derating factor is considered the size of cable for perticular electrical load increased by the multipling factor.i,e if 2.5MM2 cable is capable to carry 14amp. of current in general then with 40% of derating fator it can carry only 8.4amp.

What are the causes of derating of cables?

1. We consider cable de-rating factor, because the method of laying of cable either in air, duct or trench, affect the current carrying capacity as dissipation of heat in air is more than in duct or trench. Now the factors that causes derating are 1. ambient temperature (this is the average temperature of the plant). If surrounding temperature is higher than cable temperature at which it is designed then that increase the resistance of cable conductor which decreases the current 2. Number of cables in cable tray either they are touching each other or at a distance. If cables are touching each other, they created dielectric field around them which in case of touching causes interference with one another that causes resistance to increase. 3. No. of cable trays in a tier.

How many current carrying conductors are allowed in a raceway before derating?

You can put three ccc's in a conduit (any size conduit) before you derate. Keep in mind that for single phase loads (lighting, receptacles) the neutral is also counted as a current carrying conductor. This derating factor does not apply to nipples 24 inches long or less. See NEC Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) for full details on derating regarding ccc's.

What is the derating?

Derating factor depends on ambient temperature & how u r laying the cable ie., in Air,Duct,Burried. normally the current carring capacity of a perticular cable is calculated at 40*c, but if u lay the cable in air then it includes the temparture around it,if it increases more the 40*c then the conductor gets heated up by increasing the resistance in it thus the current carring capacity of a given cable decreases, so we will derate the cable The derating factor of induction motor is the ratio of the calculated output power to the rated power
