3.1 Current Rating Table for Single Core 11kV Transformer Tail Cables

This table provides a guide to the current ratings for 11kV single core XLPE cables laid in trefoil formation. All the ratings quoted are Distribution Ratings for one single core transformer tail only and are calculated in accordance with Engineering Recommendation P17. The MVA ratings are for a three-phase supply. Ratings for multiple cable circuits should be calculated individually. Appendix A of this document provides ratings for the more commonly used types of installation:
