High
Voltage
CablesThe history of cables
Since its establishment in 1913, Prysmian Cables
and Systems 8.V. has developed into a leading
Global manufacturer of cable systems. Prysmian
Cables and Systems B.V. has pioneered and
patented the development of extruded cable
systems, such as the prefabricated stress cone
(1964), the prefabricated joint body (1965), the
ine cross-linking of extruded cables (1970) and
the clck-fit range of accessories (1990).
Today
Prysmian Cables and Systems B.V. is part of the
Prysmian Group, a leading player in the industry
of high-technology cables and systems for energy
and telecommunications, with more than 50
production plants in 21 countries worldwide. In
addition, the Group has @ worldwide network of
sales and representative offices.
Prysmian Cables and Systems B.V. is based in
Delft, the Netherlands. We produce energy cables
ranging from low voltage (1kV) to high voltage
(500k) for land and submarine application,
along with compatible Click-Fit® accessories. All
‘our products are tailored to meet the customer's
requirements.
‘Our company has been at the cutting edge of high
voltage cable technology for several decades. We
hhave experience in supplying all types of high
voltage cable systems throughout the world,
based on a full turnkey engineering service and
installation capability. Our extended after sales
services is second to none, with 24/7 Emergency
‘and Condition-Based Maintenance, on-site Fault
Location, Diagnostics and Assessments, Material
Qualification and Testing in our HV Laboratory.Environmental and
reliability aspects
When planning a new supply route, environmental
factors have to be taken into account due to
mandatory regulations and public opinion.
The XLPE cables are environmentally-friendly anc
safe due to XLPE’s insolubility in water and its
Inert, halogen-free chemical structure.
The cable system is out of sight and the cable
route limited compared with overhead lines,
Once installed, the site generally can revert to
Its originally intended purpose, thus resulting in
considerable savings.
Reducing the electrical and magnetic fields is also
becoming more important, The cable system can
be designed based on a range of magnetic field
requirements, with zero external electrical fields.
Cable systems offer better safety for personnel
and public alike, with fewer danger situations
owing to accidental contact or flashovers.
Network reliability is all important because loss
of power has high cost consequences. Cable
systems are less vulnerable to failure compared
with overhead lines.
Prysmian sets high standards
Our high standards are certified according to
the ISO 8001:2000 Quality Management and
150 14001 Environmental Management System
Standard.
The production, testing and installation of
cable systems is subject to standards agreed
between the customer and Prysmian Cables and
Systems B.V.. These range from the generally
accepted standards, such as IEC and AEIC, to the
customer's specific requirements or standards
that apply locally.High Voltage XLPE
cable production
Since the introduction of polymeric insulation,
we have made an important contribution to the
development of extruded dielectric cables.
Intensive research on materials, together with the
processing and investment in advanced extrusion
‘machinery, led to the commercial use of the long
land die dry-curing process for the manufacture of
high voltage and extra high voltage cables, which
‘meet the highest quality standards. In a triple
extrusion process, the semi-conductive conductor
screen, the insulation and the insulation screen
are applied simultaneously. The temperature
of the materials leaving the extrusion head is.
relatively low so as to prevent premature cross~
linking, Cross-linking proper takes place at a high
temperature and high pressure in the electrically
heated long die, where the materials are heated to
the temperature required to activate the chemical
reaction effectuating the cross-linking. Gradual
cooling at high pressure after cross-linking
prevents the formation of voids and the creation
of internal mechanical stresses.

Cable finishing
Prysmian Cables and Systems B.V. offer a variety
of cable finishing:
- lead alloy sheath;
= welded aluminium sheath;
= copper wire screen,
In addition, Prysmian Cables and Systems B.V.
can produce the following optional finishing:
- lead alloy sheath with copper wire screen;
~ welded aluminium sheath with copper wire screen;
~ copper wire screen with aluminium laminated
foil or copper foil;
= integrated optical fibres for distributed tempe-
rature measurements;
~ aluminium wires or steel armouring;
= LSOH outer sheath;
~ extruded semi-conductive layer an outer sheath.
Prysmian Cables and Systems B.V. have the capa~
bility of handling 80 tons maximum gross weight
of delivery drums. This allows for the production
of very long {E)HV cable lengths of up to 3.2 km.
Specific cable constructions and test regimes can
be offered on request.Cable

‘Maximum permissible short-circuit currents for short circuit duration of one second,
Copper coneuctor Py 2303 277 3585
tac sheath Py oe aa yaUsing the tables
The electrical properties and continuous current
ratings apply for lead sheathed cables with our
standard sheath thickness. The thickness of the
metallic sheath and/or cross section of the cop-
per wires screen can be adjusted according to
the required single phase short circuit rating
Where loading is cyclic, an appreciable increase in
current capacities may be justified. Refer to |EC
Publication 60853 for a calculation of the cyclic
ratings.
Impedances, such as positive and negative se~
quence impedances and zero sequence impedance
are strongly dependant on the laying configurati-
‘on, metallic sheath bonding and other conductive
elements parallel to the cable route, Therefore
these impedances are calculated according to
each situation and confirmed via measurements
‘on completion of circuit.
Selecting a power cable
Different kinds of power cable constructions are
required to transport electrical energy from the
power station to the consumer. The following
factors are important when selecting a suitable
cable construction:
+ Maximum operating voltage
+ Insulation level
+ Frequency
+ Load carried
+ Daily load curve
+ Magnitude and duration of possible overload
currents phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth
+ Connection between overhead and cable line
(direct connection or via transformer)
+ Insulation level of equipment (bare conductor
insulators, arresters, etc)
+ Voltage drop
+ Length of line
+ Profile of line
+ Mode of installation:
~ underground (ducted or non-cucted)
- overground (if in a tunnel, the dimensions and
mode of ventilation of the tunnel)
* Chemical and physical properties of the soit
= whether rocky, sandy, clayey or boggy; moist
or dry
~ chemical agents liable to cause corrosion et.
— maximum thermal resistivity of the soil
+ Maximum and minimum ambient air and soil tem-
peratures, taking into account adjacent hot-water
pipes and other factors liable to heat the cables
+ Specifications and requirements that apply
+ The cable should be economical to use; an opti-
mum cross-sectional area can be calculated based
‘on the capital costs of the cable and running costs
incurred by the power losses in the cable. 6

Voltages
Rated Voltage
The voltage which forms the basis for certain
operating characteristics and test conditions
is called the rated voltage and is denoted Uo/U
where
Uo = the rated rms. power frequency voltage
between each conductor and sheath or sheath
for which cables and accessories are designed.
Us the rated rum.s. power frequency voltage
between any two conductors for which cables
and accessories are designed.
Operating voltage
Un = the maximum r.m.s, power-frequency
voltage between any two conductors for which
cables and accessories are designed
This is the highest voltage that can be sustained
under normal operating conditions at any time
and at any point in a system (temporary voltage
variations due to fault conditions excluded).
Relationship between Uo/U and Um in three-
phase systems are prescribed in IEC standard
60183 and USA standard C-B4.
Complete system supply
It is essential that the accessories and cables are
type-tested together forming a complete system,
We supply a full range of accessories and fittings
for splicing and terminating as well as tools and
equipment, with full installation instructions.
We also provide planning and supervision of the
overall system packages.
Standards
‘The cables described in this catalogue are standard
designs, and most have a proven operational
performance record. Construction and tests are in
accordance with IEC publications where applicable,
Conductor types
The conductor sizes listed in the tables are the
most commonly used types, as follows:
Copper: stranded wires up to 800mm, Milliken
up to 2500mm
‘Aluminium: solid up to 1200mm?, Miliken up to
mm?
Prysmian conductor range (in mm’) Is as follows:
Copper Aluminum
Sols : 240-2000
Strandes 185-1000 185-2000
Hatiien 1000-2500 1600-2500
Circular Mils
In the American standards, the cross section area
is expressed in Circular Mils Ac.
The relation between cross sections expressed in
mm? and Circular Mils is
Ac
A- 3735
Weights and dimensions
Weights, dimensions and data characteristics are
approximate and appropriate only to the products
and parameter referred to in this brochure.
Sheath marking
Our standard embossed or surface printed outer
sheath marking on round cables lists the following:
‘+ name of manufacturer
+ type designation, cross-sectional area of con-
ductor, rated voltage and year of manufacture
+ continuous length marking every metre or every
few feet
Example:
EYLKrviwd 76/132kV 1x800 2009 134mLaying information
Permissible minimum bending radius of power
cables during laying:
+ during pulling of power cables, the bending radius
should not fall below the values listed in the tables
+ in the case of single bends (placing cables in
final position), the above values may be reduced to
4 minimum of 20 x cable outer diameter (Milliken
and stranded conductors) or even 15 x cable
‘outer diameter (solid conductors)
During laying of power cables, particular attention
must be paid to the permissible tensile force, as
follows:
+ permissible tensile forces when using cable
pulling grips:
F= 2x0? in for cables with copper wire sheath
F=2xD inN for cables with sheath,
D represents the cable outer diameter expressed
+ maximum recommended tensile forces when
pulling eye is attached to the conductor:
Alu stranded: F =A x 30 N/mm?
Alu solid = Ax 20 N/mm?
Alu Milliken: F = Ax 30 N/mm?
Custranded: F =A x 50 N/mm?
Cu Milliken: F= Ax 80 N/mm?
A represents the cross-sectional area of conductor
expressed in mm?
Permissible minimum cable temperature during
laying:
+ With PVC outer sheat!
+ With PE outer sheath:
At lower temperatures, the cables must be ade~
quately warmed up beforehand, This can be done
by storing the cables in a heated room for at least,
24 hours or by using special equipment.
Resistances
Direct current resistance
The maximum DC resistance values of conductors
at 20 °C are listed in the cable standards. The DC
resistance at other conductor temperatures may
be calculated based on the following equation:
Re Rel d,(F20 O]
R= OC resistance at temperature t /km
Rug = DC resistance of cond. at 20 C, W/m
1 = temperature of conductor, °C
a, = temperature coeficient ofthe resistance st 20°C, °C
for copper: ,, = 0.00393,
for aluminium: a = 0.00403,
for ead a. = 0.00400
In the previous tables are given:
+ Maximum DC resistance of conductors at
20 °C (in accordance with IEC60228)
+ Calculated DC resistance of metallic
(lead) sheath at 20°C
Effective resistance
The effective resistance (+ alternating current re~
sistance) is made up of the DC resistance and the
‘extra resistance, which takes into account addi-
tional losses caused by the current displacement
in the conductor (skin effect, proximity effect)
In the tables, the effective resistance given for
the conductors at maximum conductor tempera
ture is based on the following presumptions:
+ Frequency 50 Hz
+ Closed sheath circuit
+ Close trefoil formation
Inductance
The inductances can be calculated for the various
laying configurations using the following equation:
x 1s inductance, mH/en
X steactance, om/km
f= system frequency, Hz
Operating capacitance, chargin.
current and earth-faulk current’
The values for the operating capacitance of the
cables are average values based on measurements
and calculations, The values for the charging
current are valid at a temperature of 20 °C, at a
frequency of 50 Hz and at the rated voltage for
the cable. The capacitance, charging current and
earth-fault current values will not change when
using XLPE insulated cables where the tempera~
ture rises from 20 °C to the maximum permissible
continuous conductor temperature. WwDOCS east
Continuous Current-carrying
Capacity
A separate group of three single core cables can
be continuously loaded according to the tables
if the presumptions below are applied. Correc-
tion factors for other installations are given in
Tables 1 to 7. The current-carrying capacities are
calculated in accordance with the formula given in
IEC Document 60287 and based on the following
presumptions:
Presumptions
+ On three-phase group of single core cables
+ Maximum permissible temperature of inner con-
ductor in continuous use:
+ XLPE insulated cables ~ $0 °C
+ Ambient air temperature - 35 °C
+ Ground temperature - 25 °C
+ Depth of laying of cables ~ 1 m
+ Thermal resistivity of soil - 1.2 Km/W
+ Overground cables: naturally ventilated and
solar radiation protected
+ Open sheath circuit in single core cable group:
Circuit of metal sheaths, concentric conductors
or metallic sheaths connected to each other
and earthed at one point only = sheath bonded
at single point. In addition, sheath circuit is
‘considered open when cross-bonded at equal
intervals.
+ Closed sheath circuit in single core cable group
= circuit of metal sheaths, concentric conduc-
tors or metallic sheaths connected to each
‘other at both ends of the group and earthed at
least at both ends = sheaths are solid bonded,
XLPE-insulated cables buried
directly in ground
XLPE- insulated cables can be continuously loaded
to a conductor temperature of $0 °C. In under-
ground installations, if a cable in the ground
is continuously operated at this highest rated
conductor temperature, the thermal resistivity of
the soil surrounding the cable may in the course
of time increase from its original value as result
of the drying-out processes. In consequence, the
conductor temperature may greatly exceed the
highest rated value with an unchanged cable load.
A temporary overload conductor temperature of
105 °Cis allowable, but should be evaluated on a
case-by-case basis
Short-circuit current capacity
When planning cable installations, care must be
taken to ensure that the selected cables and fit~
tings are capable of withstanding the expected
dynamic and thermal short-circuit stresses.
The dynamic stresses depend on the maximum
asymmetric short-circuit current, whereas the
thermal stresses depend on the mean shart-
circuit current.
Thermal stresses
In the previous tables, the maximum permissible
short circuit currents for short-circuit durations
of one
second and the values are based on the following
presumptions:
* Before short circuit, the temperature of con-
ductors = maximum permissible temperature of
conductor in continuous use (.e.: $0 °C)
+ The maximum permissible temperature of a
conductor in short circuit is 250 °C for XLPE
Insulated cables, and 210 °C for the metallic
sheath.
+ The permissible short circuit currents for a
short-circuit duration of 0.2 to § seconds may
be calculated by multiplying the value of the
maximum permissible short-circuit current for
a short-circuit duration of one second by the
figure 1/vt, whereas tis the duration of short
circuit in secondsIf site conditions are different from the standard
conditions that apply for calculating the cable
ratings, correction factors should be applied to
the tabulated values of current ratings.
