Overview
The Underground System
HV Underground Systems
• Lower Loss Designs are in demand
• Longer Lines and Longer Unit Lengths are in demand
• Higher Current Capacity is in demand
• Higher Reliability is Always in demand
Which leads to
• A Need for Better Insulation
• A Need for Better Protection of the
Insulation
• A need for Optimized Arrester

Selecting the SVL MCOV Rating
Step 1: Determine Sheath voltage during a fault
Example (Single Point Bonding with SVL at open end)
Sheath voltage on a flat configured 1000kcmil, 1000m cable
with 25kA (17.5kA rms) system fault using ATP transient
software

(file SVL_Fault_Analysis.pl4; x-var t) c:FAULT - v:S-OPNA during 17.5kA rms
fault is 3800 V rms
Max V = L x Vg x I
Where
L = length of cable section in km
Vgg = Sheath Voltage
g Gradient
I = Amplitude of fault current in kA
Where
E is the Sheath Voltage gradient in V/km/kA
k is constant
S is center to center distance between cables
d is diameter of sheath
If the cable length was
2km then HC 10 would be
2km then HC 10 would be
the correct choice
