| Determining
Ampere Load |
|
|
|
|
The
conductor selected must be large enough to carry the
necessary ampere load safely without undue heating. To
compute the ampere load, proceed as follows: |
|
Heavy
Duty — Class D Crane Service Used continually
during the work day and usually for more than one shift.
Loads of 50% of rated capacity or more handled constantly
during the work period. Use a factor of 110% of the
calculated ampere load. |
1.
List the horsepower of all motors used in the
application. |
|
2.
Determine the voltage and type of current that will feed
the conductor. For example: 230v dc 2 wire;
460v ac 3
phase; etc. |
|
Severe
Duty — Class E and F Crane Service Handles
loads approaching 100% of the capacity all during the work
period and for more than one shift. This includes large,
heavy duty units such as bucket cranes, magnet lift cranes,
cement or steel handling cranes. Use a factor of 120% of
the calculated ampere load. Check the traveling speed of
the crane, as it may exceed the tracking capability of the
Figure 8 Conductor. |
3.
Refer to the Horsepower Conversion Table on page 3
and convert the horsepower to amperes. |
|
4.
Prepare the ampere load figure that will be used to size
the conductors as follows: |
|
|
List
the full load ampere rating of each motor used
on the crane or monorail unit. Determine the duty
cycle from the following paragraphs and apply the
corresponding factor. |
|
|
|
5.
If the conductors are to be located where the ambient
air temperature is unusually high, the current carrying
capacity of the conductor is reduced. Multiply the current
capacity of the selected conductor by the derating factor in
the following table. |
|
Light
Duty — Class A and B Crane Service
Standby or infrequent use. Up to two motors started
at a time. Two to five lifts per hour. Use a factor of
90% of the calculated ampere load. |

Use a factor of 100% of the calculated ampere load. |
|

*At
this ambient temperature it will be necessary to use the higher
rated conductor cover, XHT rated at 280° F. |

|
| Determining
Voltage Drop |
|
|
|
According
to CMAA, the voltage drop to the unit motors
shall not be more than 3% from the power taps to the load
at the farthest point on the conductor run. To determine
the voltage drop use the appropriate formula in the
following table. |
|
See
Conductor Engineering Data Table on page 4 for
values of Z and R. |
|
Divide
voltage drop by system voltage to get the percent
of voltage drop. |
|
Maximum
voltage drops that are 3% of various supply
voltages are as follows: |

| Step
1 - Determining Ampere Load |
|
See
National Electric Code article 610-14(e)for
determining motor loads where there are multiple motors
on a single crane. Then from the Horse Power Conversion
Table 460v column (right): |
|
|
40
h.p. hoist motor — 52 amps @ 100% = 52 amps |
|
|
20
h.p. bridge motor — 27 amps @ 50% = 13.5 amps |
|
|
5
h.p. trolley motor — 7.6 amps @ 50% = 3.8 amps |
|
|
The
total current load is 69.3 amperes. |
|
|
With
Average Duty cycle, the current load is
factored at 100%. Normal ambient conditions of
50°F to 90°F require no temperature derating.
Selecting a 90 amp conductor caused a voltage
drop of 4.3% using the formula. Since this is
unsatisfactory, use a 110 amp conductor (FE-908)
for Step 2. |
|
| Step
2 - Determining Voltage Drop |
|
| Use
the AC 3 phase formula above. |
|
|
V
= L x I x Z x 1.73 where: |
|
|
L
= 150 ft. (Distance to the end of the runway from
the center power feed.) |
|
|
I
= 69.3 amperes |
|
|
Z
= .0008 for 110 amp conductor |
|
|
1.73
= 3 phase constant |
|
|
V
= 150 x 69.3 x .0008 x 1.73 |
|
|
|
=
14.4 volts |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
14.4/460
= 3.1%
|
|
|
Since
this voltage drop only occurs at the farthest end
when two or more motors are started simultaneously,
exceeding the 3% voltage drop goal by only 0.1% will not
cause a problem. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Ampere
Load Calculations for Multiple Units |
|
The
voltages listed are rated motor voltages. The current
listed shall be permitted for system voltage ranges of 110
to 120, 220 to 240, 440 to 480, and 550 to 600 volts.
Motors rated at 208v ac should increase the 230 volt
column figures by 10%. |
For
information about sizing ampere loads for multiple
cranes on the same runway, see Article 610-14 (e) of the
National Electrical Code for the demand factors. This
article also covers additional loads on the bridge cranes
other than motor loads. |
|
|
For
motors that are wound for single or double phase
operation, use the nameplate rating. For older slip ring
motors or models that have secondary windings be sure to
obtain both primary and secondary current ratings.
Secondary windings may also need separate conductors
or cables when updating the electrification. |
| Induction
Type Squirrel Cage and Wound Rotor Motors |
|
The
Horsepower Conversion Table is taken from the 1996
NEC Article 430. The values are for motors running at
usual speeds with normal torque characteristics. Motors
built for especially low speeds or high torques may require
more running current, and multi-speed motors will have full-load
current varying with speed. In these cases, use
the higher nameplate current rating. |

| Miscellaneous
Applications |
|
|
|
| Curves |
|
The
minimum spacing between conductors on curves is
three inches. |
Duct-O-Bars,
except the Totally Enclosed System, can be
bent to form curved sections without damaging the
insulating cover or conductor. Bends with a five-foot radius
or greater can be done in the field by using a fly wheel,
monorail beam, or similar object to bend the conductor to
approximately the necessary radius. Hangers used on
curved sections must be placed at intervals of 2-1/2 feet
maximum— and closer if required. Use B-100 cross bolt
clamp type hangers and P-Series collectors. |
|
|
For
curves of five-foot radius or more, use five-inch
collector shoes. For curves of less than five-foot radius use
three-inch collector shoes; also consult the factory for
additional information. |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Discontinue
Circuits |
|
On
discontinuous circuits a pickup guide assembly must
be installed to ensure that the self-centering type collectors
engage and disengage the conductor bar. The pickup
guide (FE-2JNN3 is illustrated) must have its own support
point. |
|
|
|
| Interlocks,
Switches, or Fixed Gaps |
|
|
The
maximum fixed gap occurring at interlocks is one-inch
when using 100 amp P-Series collectors and 1/2 inch
when using 40 amp collectors. Use transfer caps as shown
to ensure that the collector brushes transfer evenly and
smoothly. Also round both ends of the contact brushes to
facilitate the transfer. Use clamp type hangers only. When
both interlocks and curves of less than a four-foot radius
are encountered, the tandem 40 amp collector is
recommended. |
|
 |
| Other
Special Applications |
|
|
|
Consult
the factory for recommendations on applications
such as de-icing systems, totally enclosed systems, and
other systems not covered here. |

| Expansion
Gaps |
|
|
|
|
|
Expansion
gaps should be placed at intervals determined
by 1) the expansion rate of the metal in the conductor
selected, and 2) the variation in temperature that will occur
at the conductor location over a full year of operation. |
|
Example:
A 300' long copper conductor system (X)
installed outdoors with an anticipated temperature
fluctuation of 80°F (Y). |
|
|
Total
Expansion = 300'/100' x 80°F/100°F = 2.4". |
| 1.
Steel Conductor Systems |
|
3.
Determine the Number of Expansion Gap Assemblies |
Given
that steel conductors expand 1" for every 150' of
runway with a temperature change of 100°F over a full
year of operation, put the length of the runway and the
maximum temperature change for the system to be used
into the following formula: |
|
After
calculating the actual expansion of the runway
conductor system, use the following rule of thumb to pick
the number of expansion gap assemblies: |
|
a.
Under 1" of expansion, use no expansion assemblies.
Install one anchor clamp set at the
center of the
conductor run. |
|
Total
Steel Expansion (inches) = X/150' x Y/100°F |
|
where
X is the runway length and Y is the 12 month
temperature variation. |
|
b.
From 1" to 2" of expansion, use one expansion
assembly in the center of the conductor
run. |
Example:
A 450' long steel conductor (X) installed in a
building with an indoor temperature change of 40°F (Y). |
|
c.
From 2" to 4" of expansion, use two expansion
assemblies. Locate them at 1/3 of the runway length in
from each end. |
|
Total
Expansion = 450'/150' x 40°F/100°F = 1.2". |
|
| 2.
Copper Conductor Systems |
|
d.
For systems with more than 4" of expansion, use one
expansion gap assembly for each 2" of expansion. |
Given
that copper conductors expand 1" for every 100' of
runway over a 100°F temperature change at the conductor
over a full year of operation, put the length of the runway
and the maximum temperature change for the system to
be used into the following formula: |
|
|
4.
Anchors |
|
Anchor
clamps are required at midpoint on all systems
without expansion gaps and halfway between gaps and
from gaps to the end of systems with multiple gaps. See
the Figure 8 Installation Instructions on anchor locations. |
|
Total
Copper Expansion (inches) = X/100' x Y/100°F. |
|
 |
|
The
maximum gap opening for all ten foot Figure 8
expansion gap assemblies is 1-3/4 inches. |
|
Expansion
assemblies are also required at building
expansion joints. |
