AS/NZS 3008
Australian/New Zealand Standard 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)
