conductive wires (shells) and current density amplitudes dCi for cable-conductor products (CCP) with pulsed axial current varying in the nano-, micro-, and millisecond time ranges was known in electrophysics the electric explosion (EE) condition [2, 3] of metal cores (shells) of the indicated wires and cables, leading to the sublimation of their current-carrying parts and the CCP failure. In the field of power industry in emergency operation of the power circuits of its electrical equipment, accompanied by the flow of short-circuit (SC) current ik(t) through the current-carrying parts of the CCP with frequency f = 50 Hz and amplitude of up to (40-125) kA [4], at unreasonable use in the power circuits of the electric equipment of the CCP, cases of the occurrence of the EE phenomenon of copper (aluminum) cores and shells (reverse conductors) of their wires and cables are also possible. Insufficient attention was paid by electrical engineers and power engineers to such emergency conditions in power circuits of electrical equipment of general industrial use with similar dire consequences for their CCP. In this regard, the calculation determination of the critical cross-sections SCi of electric wires (cables) used in power circuits of electrical equipment of general industrial use is an urgent applied problem in the field of power engineering.

The goal of the paper is to perform an approximate calculation determination of critical sections SCi and critical amplitudes of densities dCi of AC current with frequency f = 50 Hz in the wires and cables of power circuits of electrical equipment of power industry, characterized by flowing in them in emergency modes of SC current ik(t) with specified amplitude-temporal parameters (ATPs).

1. Problem definition. Let us consider widely used in power circuits of electrical equipment of general industrial use uninsulated copper and aluminum wires, as well as insulated wires and cables with copper (aluminum) inner cores and outer shells-current conductors with the initial specific conductivity y0i of their non-magnetic material, having polyvinyl chloride (PVC), rubber (R) and polyethylene (PET) belt insulation [4, 5]. We assume that along round continuous or split copper (aluminum) cores (shells) of the indicated wires and cables of power electric circuits of the considered electrical equipment in emergency mode in their longitudinal direction current ik(t) of the three-phase SC with specified ATPs flows. We indicate that this particular type of SC current is the calculated emergency current for the electrical equipment under study [4]. We believe that the wires and cables under consideration are located in an ambient air environment, the temperature of which corresponds to room temperature and is equal to 60=20 °C [2, 4]. The above value of the specific conductivity y0i of the core (shell) material of the CCP corresponds to this temperature. We believe that the wires (cables) under consideration, before exposure to their current-carrying parts of the SC current ik(t) with specified ATPs, can be both de-energized and under nominal current load. In this regard, the initial temperature 80i of the material of the current-carrying parts of the CCP, depending on the current mode of operation of the power circuits of the electrical

equipment, can correspond to 60=20 °C or the value of the long-term allowable heating temperature 6u of their material. It is known that for non- and insulated wires and cables with PVC, R and PET insulation, the temperature 8n does not numerically exceed the levels of 70 and 65 °C regulated by current requirements, respectively [4, 6]. We use the assumption that the axial SC current ik(t) is almost uniformly distributed over the cross-section St of the core (shell) of the wire (cable) of the electrical equipment considered. The justification for this assumption is that the minimum penetration depth A,- of the magnetic field (skin layer thickness) from the SC current k(t) in the quasi-stationary approximation into the considered nonmagnetic conductive materials, determined from the calculated relation of the form A^[1/(nf«0y0i)]1/2 [2], where y0i is the electrical conductance of the core (shell) material of the CCP at 00=20 °C, and /i0=4n-10-1 H/m is the magnetic constant, numerically for copper is approximately 9.3 mm, and for aluminum is 11.8 mm. It can be seen that the presented numerical values of Ai are comparable with the real radii (thicknesses) of the current-carrying conductors (shells) of wires and cables used in electrical equipment circuits of general industrial use. We use the condition of the adiabatic nature of the occurring at times of action of the SC current ik(t) in the power circuits of the specified electrical equipment of no more than 1000 ms in the materials of the conductors (shells) of the investigated CCP of the electrothermal processes under which heat transfer from surfaces of current-carrying parts having the current temperature 0ci>00i, and the thermal conductivity of the layers of its conductive materials of the core (shell) and insulation on the Joule heating of the current-carrying parts of the checkpoint are neglected. It is required by calculation to determine in approximate form the critical sections Sa of current-carrying parts for uninsulated copper (aluminum) wires, as well as for insulated wires and cables with copper (aluminum) cores (shells), PVC, R and PET insulation used in power circuits of electrical equipment of general industrial applications and experiencing in emergency operation mode the direct effect of the axial SC current i ik(t) with specified ATPs. In addition, based on the calculation of the values of the critical sections Sci, it is necessary to determine the values of the critical amplitudes of the densities dCi of AC current with frequency f = 50 Hz in the current-carrying parts of wires and cables of power circuits of electrical equipment of power industry, through which SC current ik(t) can flow.

The electrical engineering approach to the calculation of critical sections SCi and current densities da in wires and cables of circuits of electrical equipment for general industrial purposes. To find critical cross-sections SCi of conductive cores (shells) of considered non-insulated and insulated with PVC, R and PET insulation electrical wires and cables in power circuits of electrical equipment with axial SC current ik(t) of specified ATPs, from the equation of their heat balance in the adiabatic Joule mode heating of the current-carrying parts of the CCP the following calculation relation follows [3]:

SC current ik(t) with duration tk of its flow through the cores (shells) of the CCP, A2-s; DCi = (Ja-Ju)m, A-s1/2/m2; Jti is the critical value of the current integral for the material of cores (shells) of wires and cables of electrical equipment circuits [2], A2-s/m4; JH is the value of the current integral for the material of conductors (shells) of wires and cables of electrical equipment circuits, the long-term permissible heating temperature of which with the rated current corresponds to the known value 0,, [4], A2-s/m4.

In (1), the value of the current integral Jli is calculated from the following analytical expression [3]:

Ji = Y0iP— ln[i (0 -00) +1], (2) where c0i, are accordingly, the specific heat attributed to the unit volume of the material of the core (shell) of the wire (cable) and the thermal coefficient of the specific conductivity of this CCP material before the SC current ik(t) flows through it at 00=20 °C.

It can be seen from (2) that at 0,i=00 (the power-off mode of the CCP), the desired current integral is zeroed (J,,=0).

In Table 1 at 00=20 °C, numerical values are given for such basic characteristics of copper and aluminum conductors (shells) of wires (cables) of the studied power circuits as Y0i, C0„ fa and Ja [2].

Table 2, taking into account the use of data of (1), (2) and Table 1, shows the numerical values of the coefficient DCi necessary for calculating, according to (1), the critical cross-section SCi of the conductive core (sheath) of the considered wire (cable) in the power circuit of electrical equipment used in power industry.

From the data of Table 2 it can be seen that the current mode of operation of the CCP under consideration (wires and cables of electrical circuits are fully loaded with rated current (J,#0) or at J,,=0 are completely de-energized) slightly affects the numerical values of the calculated coefficient DCi (up to 3 %). Its quantitative values are determined mainly by the type of conductive material of the core (shell) of the considered CCP. For copper and aluminum, the difference in the numerical values of DCi is approximately 25 %.

It follows from (1) that, for the numerical values of the coefficient DCi found (see Table 2), the determination of the critical cross-sections SCi of the copper (aluminum) cores (shells) of the investigated CCP is reduced to the quantitative determination of the action integral JCiA of the SC current ik(t) flowing during time tk over the current-carrying parts of the selected wires and cables.

2.1Approximate calculation at SC integral of the action integral JaA of the emergency current. As in [7, 8], we assume that the SC current ik(t) in the circuits with the considered CCP is described by the following temporal dependence:

ik (t) = Imk [exp(-t/Ta) - cos(2n /Tp)], (3)

where Imk is the amplitude of the steady SC current ik(t) in the power circuit of the electrical equipment; Ta, Tp are, respectively, the decay time constant of the aperiodic component and the period of oscillations of the periodic component of the emergency SC current ik(t) in the circuit with the CCP.

Then, based on (1) and (3), the calculated expression for the integral of the action of the SC current ik(t) in power circuits with the CCP takes the following analytical form [7]:

JCA = IIk f°,5tk + 0,25n"Tp sin(2ntk /Tp ) x

X cos(2^tk /Tp) - 2Ta2Tp2(Tp + 4^2Ta2)-1 [exp(-tk /Ta) x (4)

x [l-nT- sin(2ntk /Tp) - T- cos(2^tk /Tp) + Ta_1] ] +

+ 0,5Ta [1 - exp(-2tk / Ta)]}.

In Table 3, for the case Ta=50 ms (Tp=20 ms), the numerical values of the action integral JCiA calculated by (4) for the SC current ik(t) are given for the steady SC current amplitudes Imk and its durations (shutdown times) tk in power circuits of electrical equipment for general industrial use according to the requirements of [4, 8]. Knowing the numerical values of the coefficient DCi (see Table 2) and the action integral JCA of the SC current ik(t) (see Table 3), from (1) the numerical values of the critical sections SCi of the current-carrying parts of the considered CCP in power electrical installations circuits for general industrial use can be relatively easy determined. Taking into account the assumptions made, from the relation of the form da~Imk/SCi, the critical amplitudes of the AC current densities dCi in the cores (shells) materials of the studied wires (cables) for the SC emergency fault mode can be quantified.

account the data in Table 2, 3 of critical cross-sections SCi of copper (aluminum) cores (shells) of uninsulated (bare) wires and insulated wires (cables) of power circuits of general industrial electrical equipment (Tp=20 ms) for the case when J/#0, tk=100 ms and Ta=50 ms, and the amplitude Imk of the steady SC current ik(t) varies discretely in the range (30-100) kA. From the data of Table 4 it follows that the critical amplitudes of the densities dC^ImkISCi of the SC current ik(t) at the time of its flow (switch off) in the power circuits of electrical installations equal to tk=100 ms for uninsulated wires and insulated wires (cables) with PVC, R and PET insulation with copper (aluminum) cores (shells) in the circuits of electrical equipment for general industrial use (Tp=20 ms; Ta=50 ms) are numerically approximately 1.57 kAImm2 and 1.18 kAImm2, respectively. It is important to note that these values of the critical amplitudes of the densities dCi of the SC current ik(t) in the materials of the current-carrying parts of the wires (cables) of the power circuits of the electrical equipment do not depend on the level of the amplitude Imk of the steady SC emergency fault current of the power frequency of 50 Hz.

Table 5 presents the results of the calculated determination according to (1), taking into account the data in Table 2, 3, of critical cross-sections Sa of copper (aluminum) cores (shells) of bare wires and insulated wires (cables) of power circuits of electrical equipment of general industrial use (Tp=20 ms) for the case when J#0, tk=160 ms and Ta=50 ms, and the amplitude Imk of the steady SC current ik(t) varies discretely in the range (30-100) kA.

From the data of Table 5 it follows that the critical amplitudes of the densities SC^ImkISCi of the SC current ik(t) at time tk=160 ms of its flow (switch off) in the power circuits of the electrical equipment under consideration for uninsulated wires and insulated wires (cables) with PVC, R and PET insulation with copper (aluminum) cores (shells) in the circuits of electrical equipment for general industrial use (Tp=20 ms; Ta=50 ms) numerically are approximately 1.33 kAImm2 and 0.99 kAImm2, respectively. Here, the numerical values of the critical amplitudes of the densities 8Ci of the SC current ik(t) in the copper (aluminum) cores (shells) of the CCP of the industrial electric power equipment under consideration, indicated for the calculation case (tk=160 ms; Ta=50 ms), as well as for the previous case (tk=100 ms; Ta=50 ms), do not depend on the quantitative values of the amplitude Imk of the steady SC current. In addition, from the data of Table 4, 5 it follows that the quantitative values of the critical cross-sections SCi and critical amplitudes of densities 8Ci of AC SC current ik(t) for the current-carrying parts of the investigated CCP, which is widely used in power circuits of electrical equipment of general industrial use, do not depend on any type of insulation (air or solid) used in the considered electric wires and cables of electric power devices.

Conclusions.

1. The proposed electrical engineering approach allows, according to the condition of the EE in the atmospheric air of the current-carrying parts of the CCP, to approximate the critical cross-sections SCi and the amplitudes of the densities 8Ci of the AC axial current for uninsulated wires with copper (aluminum) cores, as well as for insulated wires and cables with copper (aluminum) cores (shells), PVC, R and PET insulation, through which AC SC current ik(t) with given ATPs flows during emergency operation of power electrical equipment for general industrial use.

The used approximate calculation relations (1)-(4) made it possible for two real cases (tk=100 ms; tk=160 ms) at Ta=50 ms to establish for a discrete change in the amplitude Imk of the steady SC current ik(t) in the range (30-100) kA specific capabilities of the proposed electrical engineering approach for the selection of critical sections Sa and density amplitudes 8Ci of AC current in

the indicated wires and cables of power circuits of electrical equipment of general industrial use, in the current-carrying parts of which in emergency operating modes of the considered power electrical equipment large axial SC currents ik(t) flow.

3. It was established by calculation that the critical amplitudes of the densities dCpIm/JSCi of the axial SC current ik(t) in copper (aluminum) cores of uninsulated wires and insulated wires (cables) with copper (aluminum) cores (shells), PVC, R and PET insulation at Ta=50 ms for the case of switch off time tk=100 ms of the SC current ik(t) in the power circuits of electrical equipment numerically equal approximately 1.57 (1.18) kA/mm2, and for a case of tk=160 ms - 1.33 (0.99) kA/mm2.

4. The results obtained for critical cross-sections SCi and density amplitudes dCi of AC axial current with frequency f = 50 Hz (Tp=20 ms) can be used in electric power practice to choice thermally resistant to large SC axial currents ik(t) the CCP with copper (aluminum) cores (shells), designed to operate in power circuits of electrical equipment of power industry.
