LOW VOLTAGE CABLES


Low Voltage Cables are manufactured with PVC and XLPE insulation. PVC Cables are manufactured according to IS:1554 (Part I) up to 1.1KV grade. XLPE Cables are manufactured according to IS:7098 (Part -I), up to and including the latest amendments. All cables have the ISI Certification. PVC, as insulation and sheath compounds, has the following superior features: Strong and made for easy handling Resistant to water, moisture, oils and chemicals PVC black compounds can resist ultraviolet degradation Specially formulated PVC is flame retardant and reduces emission of halogens and smoke XLPE, as insulation has the following superior features: Low dielectric loss. Higher power rating and higher emergency overload rating. Superior short circuit rating. Much better insulation resistance Higher resistance to moisture Capacity to withstand localized hot spot temperature, very vital to steel plants, power stations, etc. Resistant to chemicals and corrosive gases, etc. Exhibits better properties, such as resistance to vibration, impact, ageing and hot deformation. Termination and jointing methods are very easy, simple and non-expensive as compared to other cables.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION


CONDUCTORS The conductors of power cables are made from electrical purity aluminium, and those of control cables are of annealed high conductivity copper. However, copper conductor power cables can also be supplied against orders. All conductors conform to IS:8130-1984.

INSULATION
High quality PVC base compound is used for PVC Cables and high quality Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) unfilled insulating compound is used for XLPE Cables.

LOW VOLTAGE CABLES


LAYING UP In multicore cables, cores are laid up as per the above color scheme and interstices are filled up wherever necessary to make the laid up cable circular. INNER SHEATH For all cables having two or more cores, a common covering (inner sheath) is applied over the laid up cores either by extruded sheath of PVC Compound or wrapping of thermoplastic or proofed tapes. Alternatively, cores with number printing can be offered. ARMOURING For multi-core cables, armouring is applied over the inner sheath. In case of cables where the fictitious diameter over the inner sheath does not exceed 13mm., the armour consists of galvanised round steel wires; above this size, normally the armour is of galvanised formed steel wires. Any metallic, non-metallic wire/strip can be available on request. OUTER SHEATH Outer sheath is extruded over the armouring. In case of multi-core unarmoured cables, over the inner sheath, whereas, in case of unarmoured single-core cables, it is extruded over the insulation. This is always black in colour for best resistance to outdoor exposure. Any other colour can be available on request. CORE IDENTIFICATION Colour Scheme: Cores are identified by the colour scheme of insulation. The following colour scheme is normally adopted: 1 Core red, black, yellow, blue or natural (non pigmented) 2 Core red and black 3 Core red, yellow and blue 4 Core red, yellow, blue and black (also 3 core reduced neutral is black) 5 Core red, yellow, blue, black and grey For cables having more than 5 cores: Two adjacent cores (counting and direction core) in each layer are coloured blue and yellow respectively and the remaining cores are grey.

TESTING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE


The various tests carried out on Low Voltage cables are classified in three different groups: Routine Tests Type Tests and Acceptance Tests.

ROUTINE TESTS
The following tests constitute Routine Tests which are carried out on each and every length of cable as per relevant IS specification before it leaves the factory. (A) Conductor Resistance Test The Test ensures that conductor resistance is within the specified limit, thereby verifying that the continuity of conductor is maintained throughout the cable length and that the conductor has the required electrical section D.C. resistance is measured at room temperature and is then corrected to standard reference temperature of 20C.

13

LOW VOLTAGE CABLES


(B) High Voltage Test The test ensures that insulation will safely withstand the rated voltage with permissible variation in normal operation.

PACKING
Cables are normally supplied in wooden drums. Special drums are also provided on request. While installing LT PVC/LT XLPE cables, the following minimum bending radii should be observed in order so

TYPE TESTS
These tests are carried out on samples taken from each production lot as per relevant IS specification. They are carried out to prove conformity as regards the general qualities and design to the specification of particular type of cables.

that the cable, especially insulation, may not undergo damage. Wherever possible larger bending radii should be used. CABLES EXPOSED TO SUN On account of heating of the exposed cable due to solar radiation, the rating of the cable installed out-doors and

ACCEPTENCE TESTS
These tests are again carried out as per relevant IS specification in the presence of the concerned Inspecting Authority for testing, approval and release of material offered for inspection.

not shielded from the sun is less than if so shielded. To reduce the effect of solar radiation, it is recommended that the cable should be shielded from the direct rays of the Sun without restricting the ventilation.

HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES


Cross Linked Polyethylene Cable i.e. XLPE Cable was developed in late 1970 to overcome the susceptibility of PILC Cables to ingress of moisture. Hence the advent of XLPE cables marked the beginning of a gradual but steady replacement of Paper Cables in almost all voltage applications. LOWER CHARGING CURRENTS: The excellent thermal properties of XLPE Cable permit maximum continuous conductor operating temperature of 90o C and short circuit temperature of 250o C. Moreover, it has low dielectric loss, which does not vary much over the entire operating temperature range. These characteristics, along with the low dielectric constant, make XLPE Cable particularly suitable for high voltage applications. Given below are additional outstanding features. HIGH CONTINUOUS CURRENT RATING: Its ability to withstand higher operating temperature of 90 C enables much higher current rating than those of PVC or PILC cables. HIGH SHORT CIRCUIT RATING: Maximum allowable conductor temperature during short circuit of 2500 C is considerably higher than for PVC or PILC Cables resulting in greater short circuit withstand capacity. HIGH EMERGENCY LOAD CAPACITY: XLPE Cables can be operated even at 1300 C during emergency, therefore in systems, where cables are installed in parallel; failure of one of two cables will not bring down the system capacity for some time.
0

LOW DIELECTRIC LOSSES: XLPE Cables have low dielectric loss angle. Moreover, these losses occur continuously in every charged cable whether it carries load or not. Hence use of XLPE Cable at higher voltage would result in considerable saving in costs.

The charging currents are considerably lower permitting close setting of protection relays. EASY LAYING AND INSTALLATION: Low weight and small bending radii make laying and installation of cable very easy. The cable requires less supports due to low weight. HIGH SAFETY: Cables have High safety against mechanical damage and vibrations.

HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES


APPLICATIONS:
1 Used extensively in all power generating plants and industrial plants. 2 Used in chemical and fertilizer units where cables are exposed to chemical corrosion. 3 Used in heavy industries where severe load fluctuations occur. 4 Used in systems where there are frequent over voltages. 5 Used at higher ambient temperatures on account of their higher operating temperatures. 6 Used even under most difficult cable route conditions such as city distribution network. CONDUCTOR SCREENING Conductor screening is employed for all cables above 3.3 KV grade in the form of a semi conducting extrusion over the conductor. XLPE INSULATION High quality XLPE unfilled insulating compound of natural color is used for insulation. Insulation is applied by extrusion process and is chemically cross-linked by silane process. INSULATION SCREENING The cables rated above 3.3 KV are provided with insulation shielding over the insulation. The screening is provided with an extruded layer of semi conducting compound. Over the semi conducting covering, a metallic screen in the form of copper tape is provided. CONDUCTOR The conductors made from E.C. grade aluminum wires, are stranded together and compacted. All sizes of conductors of single or three core cables are circular in shape. Conductor construction and testing comply to IS 81301984 as amended up to date. Cables with copper conductor can also be offered. CORE SHIELDING XLPE insulation and insulation shielding are all extruded in one operation by a special process. This process ensures perfect bonding of inner and outer shielding with insulation. The bond prevents the formation of cavities at the surface of the conductor when the cable is subjected to bends. The void formation, at the interface of the semi conducting layer

and insulation, too is eliminated even during heating and cooling cycles in the operation. INNER SHEATH (COMMON COVERING) In case of multi core cables, cores are stranded together with suitable non-hygroscopic fillers in the interstices and provided with common covering of plastic tapes wrapping. As an alternative to wrapped inner sheath, extruded PVC inner sheath can also be provided. ARMOURING: Armouring is applied over the inner sheath and normally comprise of galvanized Steel Wire or galvanized Steel Strips for multi core Cables. For Mining use and other special applications, double Wire/Strip armoured cables with Tinned Copper wires can also be offered. Single core armoured cables are provided with non-magnetic armour consisting of hard drawn flat or round aluminum wires. OUTER SHEATH: A tough Outer Sheath of Heat Resisting PVC compound (Type ST2) as per IS - 5831 is extruded over the armouring in case of armoured cables or over nonmagnetic metallic tape covering the insulation or over the non-magnetic metallic part of insulation screening in case of unarmoured single core cables. This is always black in color for best resistance to outdoor exposure. The Outer Sheath is embossed with Gloster, the voltage grade and the year of manufacture. In order to achieve consistency in quality, in addition to CORE IDENTIFICATION The Core identification complies with the requirements of IS-7098 (Part II) as shown below: By numerals (1, 2, 3) printed on cores. OR By colored strips applied on the cores. above tests, rigorous quality control measures are effected at every stage of production. Accordingly every batch of raw materials and process cables are tested to check for their physical and electrical properties.

PACKING, HANDLING AND STORAGE


PACKING
Cables are generally received wound on wooden drums, both the ends of the cable being easily accessible for inspection and testing. However short length may be transported in coils without drums with prior intimation to customer. In case of paper-insulated lead-sheathed cables, both the ends of cables should be protected form moisture by means of plumbed lead caps. In case of PVC and XLPE cables sealed plastic caps or heat shrinkable caps should be used. The cable shall be wound on drums and packed. The cable drums shall carry the following information either stenciled or contained in a label attached to it. Reference of Indian standard, Manufacture's name or trade-mark; Type of cable and voltage grade; Number of cores; Nominal cross sectional area of conductor; Cable code; Length of cable on the drum; Number of length on the drum (if more than one); Direction of rotation of drum (by arrow); Gross mass; Country of manufacture; Year of manufacture The cable drums or label may also be marked with ISI Standard mark. b) Cable should not be dragged along the earth surface. c) The arrows painted on the flange of the drum indicate the direction in which the drum should be rolled. The cable will unwind and become loose if the drum is rolled in the opposite direction. Improper handling or uncoiling of cable from reels or coils often results in the springing of armour of the cable and kinking of the cable both of which are very difficult to be corrected. It reduces effective cable life considerably. To avoid this, the following steps are to be followed: a) The cable drums should not be dropped or thrown from railway wagons or trucks during unloading operations as the shock may cause serious damage to cable layers. A crane should be used for unloading cable drums. When lifting drums with the crane, it is recommended that the lagging should be kept in place to prevent the flanges from crushing on to the cable. If the crane is not available, a ramp should be prepared with approximate inclination of 1:3 or 1:4. The cable drum should be rolled over the ramp by means of ropes and winches. Additionally, a sand bed at the foot of the ramp may be prepared to brake the rolling of the cable drum.

HANDLING
On receipt of cable drums visual inspection of drums should be made ensuring drum packing is original. When unloading the cables, certain precautions are to be taken to ensure the safety of the cables.

44

i)

If the cable is supplied on a reel, it should be mounted on a shaft and cable paid off from the reel while it rotates. Suitable brakes should be applied on the flanges of the reel.

All drums should be stored in such a manner as to leave sufficient space between them for air circulation. It is desirable for drums to stand on battens placed directly under the flanges. During storage the drum should be rolled to an angle of 90 once every 3 months, This will

ii) If the cable is supplied in large coils these should be mounted on a turn table with suitable brakes and cable paid off while the turn table rotates. iii) Small coils of cables can be made to roll along the ground for uncoiling. iv) Cable should be neither pulled straight from the coil while the coil rests on the ground nor taken off turn from reel while it is lying on its flange on the ground. v) Also never allow the reel to rotate at high speed during payoff.

avoid collapsing of barrel of drum due to weight pressure continuously in one direction for longer period. In no case, should the drum be stored on the flat that is, with flange horizontal. If it is necessary to rewind a cable on to another drum, the barrel of the drum should have a diameter not less than that of the original drum.

LAYING
The selection of the route should first be decided keeping in view the intermediate and ultimate use of the cable as an intermediate part of the transmission

STORAGE
The site chosen for storage of cables should be will drained. Cable should be stored in a dry covered place to prevent exposure to climatic conditions and wear and tear of wooden drums and it should preferably on a concrete surface/firm surface, which will not cause the drums to sink and thus lead to flange rot and extreme difficulty in moving the drums. However cable drum can be stored in uncovered area, but the area should be free from corrosive agents such as chemicals and fumes etc. Also the lagging should be kept in place to avoid cable surface from direct sunrays. The cables stored in hot condition at higher temperature may cause oxidation of outer sheath jacket, whenever a cable length is cut, it should be recapped to avoid ingress of water in the cable.

and distribution system. For transporting the cable drum to site, it is necessary to check the road condition, whether it has loose soil, is marshy, water logged etc. If possible, cables should be laid along the footpath rather than the carriageway. Plans for future building projects should be considered. The route should be away from parallel running gas, water pipes and telephone cables. Also suitable locations for cable joints and end termination should be selected as required. On receipt of the drum at site, the plank should be removed and the cable is examined for exterior damage, if any. To avoid damage to the protective

45

covering and the insulation the cable must not be pulled across hard and sharp objects. For laying of cables special cares to be taken to prevent sharp bending, kinking, twisting. Cable should be unwound from drum by proper mounting the cable drum on a cable wheel making sure the spindle is strong enough to carry the weight without bending and that it is lying horizontally in the bearings so as to prevent the drum creeping to one side or the other while it is rotating.

Provision should be made to break the drum to avoid further rolling & buckling of cable during sudden stop. A simple wooden plank can serve this purpose

This is incorrect way of pulling the cable & will cause kinks & twist in cable. Shall be avoided at all. Cable must be pulled from the top

Cable must not be pulled across hard & sharp object to avoid the damage to the covering & insulation. Cable must be laid in ducts or trenches as showing in Fig.

46

However, following salient points are to be considered during laying procedure of cables laid in racks and in build-in trenches. 1 For laying of cables, power cables are to be placed

4 a) If the cable are buried directly in ground. I.S. 1255 is to be followed for code of practice. However generally cables are laid 1000 mm. below finished ground level at any point of cable run and 75 mm. of sand cushioning to be provided.

at the bottom most layer and control cables at top most layer. 2 Single core power cable for use on a.c system shall recommended to the used for cable path be laid in delta formation supported by nonmagnetic material. Trefoil clamps of suitable size are to be placed at regular intervals but preferably not more than 800 mm. Axial spacing of two circuits in delta formation shall not be less than 4 6 Method of Installation: times the cable dia. In case of multicore power cables, cables shall be laid side by side, with spacing not less than one cable diameter. However derating factors for cables laid on trenches are to be referred. Multicore power cables and single core d.c circuits may be clamped by means of galvanized mild steel saddles. The saddles shall not be placed at intervals more than 1500 mm. for horizontal and 1200 mm. for vertical runs. 3 Multicore control cables can be laid touching each other on cable racks and wherever required may be taken in two layers. They should be clamped by means of PVC straps both for horizontal and vertical runs, (alternatively, fabricated aluminum clamps may be used) at regular intervals. Aluminum conductor cables: 3.0 kg/mm Copper conductor cables: 5.0 kg/mm Three Core Cables: Installed independently Single Core Cables: Three cables in a trefoil touching each other 7 Maximum safe pulling force (when pulled by pulling eye) 5 If there is a possibility of mechanical damage, cable should be protected by means of mild steel covers placed on racks. b) In loose soil concrete pillar should be provided for as support and hence pipes are

Proper method of pulling of cable should be used. Refer I.S. 1255-1983, code of practice for installation and maintenance of power cables.

BENDING RADIUS:
While Installing 'GLOSTER' Cables, the following minimum bending radius should be observed such that the cables, and especially the insulation, are not damaged. Wherever possible, larger bending radii should be used.
VOLTAGE GRADE OF CABLES Upto 1.1KV Upto 1.1KV 3.3 KV upto 11KV Above 11 KV
Where 'D' is the overall diameter of Cables.

RECOMMENDED MINIMUM BENDING RADII (12 X D) For Multi Core Cables (15 X D) For Single Core Cables (15 X D) For Single and Multi Core Cables (15 X D) For Multi Core Cables (20 X D) For Single Core Cables

TESTING INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT OF CABLE


The voltage rating of I R Tester (Megger) should be chosen as following table:
VOLTAGE GRADE OF CABLES 1.1 KV 3.3 KV 6.6 KV RATING OF IR TESTER (MEGGER) 500 V 1000 V 1000 V VOLTAGE GRADE OF CABLE 11 KV 22 KV 33 KV RATING OF IR TESTER (MEGGER) 1000 V 2500 V 2500 V

TESTING DURING LAYING:


All new cables shall be megger-tested before jointing. After jointing is completed all cables shall be megger-tested.

under all service conditions. The joint should further be resistant to corrosion and other chemical effects. Termination and jointing of power and control cables shall be done by means of compression methods using solder less tinned copper/Aluminum terminal lugs.

JOINTING OF CABLE:
The emphasis should be laid on quality and selection of proper cable accessories, proper jointing techniques and skill and workmanship of the working personnel. The quality of joint should be such that it does not add any resistance to the circuit. The materials and techniques employed should give adequate mechanical and electrical protection to the joints

HIGH VOLTAGE TEST:


Cables after jointing and terminations are subjected to dc high voltage test. The recommended test voltage are given in I.S. 1255 - 1983. The cable cores must be discharge after completion of dc high voltage test.
