Most LV switchgear such as Schneider Acti9, appears to be have a operating temperature of 70C . 4D4 states that I need to use 240mm2 for my submain cable run 200m through ducting to a 250A main switch. 4E4 would allow us to install 185mm2 instead at a large costing saving. We use ProDesign for verifying our cable calculations and using the BICC data sets mean that we could get a much smaller sub main size.
Does any LV switchgear have any operating temperature of 90C. I am finding this information very difficult to find on datasheets for any manufacturers.
Am I misunderstanding how the cable temperature rating relates to the switchgear operating temperature? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
