Australian/New Zealand Standard 3008

AS/NZS 3008

Cable capacity and sizing calculations based on AS/NZS 3008: Electrical installations - Selection of cables, Part 1.1: Typical Australian installation conditions and Part 1.2: Typical New Zealand conditions

Australian/New Zealand Standard 3008 based "electrical installations and selection of cables" is listed as "AS 3008" and "NZS 3008". AS 3008 is for Part 1.1: Cables of alternating voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV - Typical Australian installation conditions. NZS 3008 is for Part1.2: Cables of alternating voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV - Typical New Zealand conditions

AS/NZS 3008 Key Features

User selectable Standard for either Australian installation conditions (AS 3008) or New Zealand installation conditions (NZS 3008).
Current carrying capability and correction factors from standard tables.
Detailed installation types and sub types based on schedule of installation methods.
Consideration of ambient temperature, installation layout, grouping, soil, and other conditions.
Consideration of loading, voltage drop, overload protection, short circuit, and harmonic conditions for selection of cables.
Automatically update load flow studies.
Automatically update short circuit fault studies.
Calculation results report.
Reviewing input data, calculation results, and alerts from Cable Manager.

Cable Raceway Installations

ETAP’s cable capacity calculation handles both above ground (A/G) and underground (U/G in duct and buried) installations:

A/G Conduit (thermally insulated wall, attached to wall, masonry, unventilated or ventilated channel)
A/G Trays (perforated, unperforated)
Air Drop (suspended, on insulators)
Brackets
Embedded Direct (thermally insulated wall, mouldings, masonry)
Ladder
Wire Mesh
Open & Clipped Direct (on wall, under ceiling, spaced from ceiling)
Trunking (on wall, suspended, flush floor, skirting)
U/G Duct
U/G Buried (direct, conduit)
Masonry (cable ducting)
