 Characteristics
Through incessant research and development, the excellent functions of oil filled cable has been
improved since 1924.
Among the many excellent characteristics, some typical ones can be listed as follows.

There is absolutely no void within insulation

and is stable electrically.
The insulation oil, whose air bubbles and humidity are
sufficiently removed by performing degassing treatment, is
impregnated in insulating paper layer which is fully dried
under high vacuum beforehand and kept under high
degree of vacuum, and the cable is made accordingly.
Since a definite positive pressure is always kept inside of
the finished cable, there is absolutely no void in the cable

Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable

insulation.

Operating potential gradient can be large.

Since no deterioration takes place in voids in the insulation
by ionizations as in the case with the solid-type cable, the
operating potential gradient can be large. Therefore, the
insulation thickness can be selected as thin.

Expansion and contraction of insulation oil

due to temperature change can be com-
pensated by the oil tanks.
Expansion and contraction of insulating oil, due to change
of load under use or due to change of the external
temperature, can be fully compensated by the oil tank
installed in a suitable position on the cable route.
Therefore, there can be no void in the insulation.

Possibility of cable self-monitoring

The inside of the cable is always kept at positive oil
pressure so that no humidity intrudes from the outside in
case damage occurs in the cable sheath, or in the joint
box. Further, in case the insulating oil leaks, the trouble is
detected earlier as the alarm device actuates and it is
possible to repair before occurrance of full-scale trouble in
the cable system.

System Design
OF cable system can be derived from economical decision and maker s engineering capability about
super high tension engineering. The reason is that many sites, around the world, have their own
characteristics, for instances, swamp or desert, field or mountain, and inland or seaside. So pracrical route
survey can only give precise answer just suitable to its own geographical characteristics.
We, Taihan based upon the accumulated technical know-how, have the capability to design any kind
of cable system requried and install at any site under any circumstances.
By the calculation through computer, cable and accessories can be fixed to make a turn-key system
for OF cable.

Oil Feeding System
Selection of proper oil feeding system is one of the most important factors in the system design. We, Taihan OF cable
engineers, will design any kind of feeding system to meet the requirement of our customer. We will install our OF cable
system at any site whether normal or difficult.
The general principle of oil feeding system can be explained hereunder.
1) The minimum oil pressure should be above 0.2 / at any time and any position.

2) The distance necessary to feed the oil and the place to fix the oil feeding tank must be investigated first, and then the
kind and volume of oil tank can be fixed.

 Manufacturing Facilities and
Checkpoints of Quality Control
The quality of a Taihan cable starts with select-ing and using only the best raw material. Be-fore
Taihan cables are manufactured the cop-per, aluminum, lead and lead alloy, paper, oil and
plastic etc. are all tested in raw mate-rial form. A fully equip-ped laboratory carries out
numerous tests, physical, analytical, chemical, electrical and mechanical. And throughout the
manu-facturing stages, further tests ensure that pro-duct quality is main-tained.

Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable

Paper Lapping Machine
With full automatic tension control apparatus, our paper lapping machine, made by Pirelli in Italy, can manufacture OF
cable up to 345kV by a single passage

Paper lapping tension Bending test immediately after paper lapping

The lapping tension of paper is calculated by a When the leading end has passed the hauling ma-
computer which considers the type of paper, the width chine, a sample in the length of several meters is
of paper, and the diameter on which the paper is subjected to a bending test in order to ascertain that the
lapped. condition of paper lapping is suitable to working
standard.
Humidity control
Paper lapping machines are installed in an special
control room in order to keep the humidity in the room.
The room is kept at slightly higher than atmospheric
pressure so that the entry of dust, litter and fine
particles of metal which are detrimental to the insulation
of cable can be prevented.

Cabler
Besides singe core, all kind of cables should be passed this machine for cabling. Smooth and clean pass lines for paper
core are essential to manufacture high quality cable.
Drying Tank
Dielectric power loss, one of the important characteristics of OF cable can be achieved by complete drying method.
Temperature control of drying tanks
The temperature of drying tank is measured at several
points, recorded continuously, and checked to make sure
that the temperature is held within the control limit.
Temperature control of conductor during heating
During the initial hours of drying, the cable is heated by
an electric current flowing directly through its conductor,
which is called the electric current drying method. In this
period, a program controller developed by our company
controls the speed of temperature rise automatically and
records the temperature.
Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable
Vacuum degree
The vacuum degree of a drying tank is measured at two
points, recorded continuously, and checked. Vacuum
pumps are in automatic operation and when something
goes wrong, they activate and alarm on the central
control panel.
Control of drying period
The manufacturing standard specifies the period of
drying according to the type of cable to avoid insufficient
or excessive drying. ln addition to that, the drop test and
leak test of drying tank utilizing the relationship between
the residual moisture content in paper and its equilibrium
vapor pressure tell us whether or not the operation is
within the contrl limit.
Insulating Oil Degasifier and Impregnating Panel
This equipments can degas and refine the insulating oil, alkylbenzene type synthetic oil,
to give and excellent insulating stability for cable.
Affer vacuum sheath process, degassed and refined oil can be put into cable.

Degasifying Inspection of oil before

Before degasifying, the oil is stored in a
low vacuum tank, the vacuum degree
being monitored, as the pretreatment.
During degasification, the vacuum
degree is continuously recorded, and
the rate of oil flow is automatically
controlled to the vacuum degree so as
to obtain a uniform degasification
degree.
After degasifying, the resistivity,
power factor, water content for all oil are
measured. In order to reduce moisture
infiltration, the oil is held under the
pressure of nitrogen during storage.
oil-impregnation
The state of oil entering into a vacuum
bottle is oberved to ascertain if the oil
contains bubbles or foreign matter. A
sampling test for resistivity, power
factor, and water content is also carried
out.
Vacuum degree control during
oil- impregnation
The vacuum degree of the cable during
oil-impregnation is measured and
recorded by a worker every two hours.

Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable

Control of vacuum degree of
cable before oil-impregnation
Usually, after the aluminum sheath
covering, vacuum degree of cables has
to be checked before being impreg-
nated with oil. This period is utilized to
measure the vacuum degree of the
cable just before oil-impregnation in
order to make sure the aluminum
sheath is no pinhole.
Electromagnetic valves mounted on an
oil-impregnating panel automatically
close in case of failure of power supply
or abnormally low vacuum degree, thus
protecting the cable from the entrance
of air.
Completion of oil-impregnation
The judgement that oil-impregnation is
completed is made when the oil
pressure ceases to drop.

Vacuum Sheathing Equipment

To withstand inner oil pressure and prevent outer mechanical shock, OF cable should be made with metallic layer. To
maintain the low moisture contents of dried insulation paper while sheathing metal layer, OF cable should be made under
the vacuum continuously.
The manufacturing condition for Aluminum Press and Lead Extruder is almost same. For instance, working condition of
aluminum press is as follows.

Vacuum sheathing Temperature control

After the completion of drying, the cable is covered with
an aluminum sheath while still being held in high vacuum
degree. Throughout this process, the vacuum degree in
the cable is monitored and recorded continuously, and
any abnormality in vacuum degree triggers and alarm.
The temperatures of the die-block, the ingot heating
furnace, and ingots are continuously recorded for
consistent operation.
Surface inspection

Automatic operation
The aluminum press has fully automatic operation to
avoid human error and to obtain stablized quality.
Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable
As the metallic sheath is one of the vital parts of oil filled
cables, its surface is inspected continuously in order to
confirm that surface damage, pinhole, and other defects
do not exist.

Machine for Reinforced Tapes

After lead sheathing, non-magnetic tapes for example stainless tape, will be wrapped on the lead sheath to reinforce the
creep characteristics.

PE/PVC Extruder
As an anti-corrosion protection, in many cases underground cable is used with plastic outer sheathes.
 Tests
Before the cables leave factory for their destinations all over the world, a thorough program of
extensive testing is carried out.

Routine Test
The tests are carried out on all supplied lengths and the
results are recorded. The scope of the test is mainly
based on IEC 141-1.

Type Tests
Each new type of cable is submitted to a type approval
test that is executed in our high voltage research
laboratory. A type tests on short cable lenghs may be
agreed. If proof is provided that type tests have

Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable

previously been carried out on cables of similar
construction, no further test needs to be carried out.
The scope of the test is mainly based on IEC 141-1.

Site Tests
The scope of the tests after installation is mainly based
on IEC 141-1.

Accessories
As oil filled cable accessories, there are sealing ends(EB-A, EB-G, EB-O), joint boxes(IJ, NJ, SJ,
SIJ), oil feeding and alarm equipments.

Sealing Ends
Indoor and outdoor sealing end (EB-A)
Sealing end is sends and takes electric power into and
out of cable. Porcelain bushings are needed to be
insulated between the earth potential parts and the high
voltage parts, and this sealing end has stress relief cone
formed of wide paper or a condenser cone formed of
insulating paper layers and metal foil for inside
reinforcement according to the voltage uesd. Connector
is fastened to the cable conductor by compression
method and a flexible terminal lug is placed between the
conductor and the lead wire to avoid applying
unnecessary external force against the sealing end.
Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable
SF6 gas immersed sealing end (EB-G)
Sealing end is used for terminating the cable for the
SF6 gas switch gear. Epoxy bushings are needed to
be insulated between the earth potential parts and the
high voltage parts. The inner construction of this
sealing end is similar to that of an indoor and outdoor
sealing end except that the sealing end is completely
enclosed and immersed in gas to the higher
insulation strength and to prevent dust from
collecting, etc.

Oil feeding tank
The inner oil of oil filled cables expands or shrinks automatically, and enough oil has to be kept in the oil feeding tank to
supply oil to the cables for a significant length of time even if the oil should be out. There are many kinds of oil feeding
tanks, for example, pressure tank(inner and outer gas type) and special oil feeding tank, etc.

as to sense and indicate the oil pressure. If necessary, the pressure
guage shall be provided with the electrical contacts which shall make the
electric cirucit for the oil pressure alarm.

Other Accessories
Cross bond link box
The cross bonding link box shall be used for connecting the bonding
wire properly and be provided with surge diverters to discharge at the

watertight.

Alarm device Piping Indication Panel

It is advisable to have an alarm device to notify the guard when the
cables are out of order or damaged.
Usually a transmitter is located at the oil tank and a receiver is placed in the control room. We manufacture three
kinds of alarm devices; one alarm device operates when the minimum pressure or volume is reached. Another
continuously indicates the pressure or volume, and the third has an indicator and a recorder. The proper one should be
chosen after duly considering the functional importance of the cable and the maintenance system adopted for the line.

Oil feeding pipe

The oil feeding pipes used for connecting the cables to the oil tank lead are made of armored lead, copper and etc. We
will choose the most suitable one for your particular system.

Terminal box for control cable

The alarm transmitter and receiver are connected with control cables. Since many alarm transmitters are generally
used, this terminal box is placed near the transmitters to allow the circuits to be opened or checked.

Installation

Taihan has many achievements and excellent techniques, relative to cable installation work and
is making performance doubly sure in regard to safety of operations, besides vigorously
promoting development, rationalization and speedy installation. And also Taihan is performing its
work consistently, from planning to testing after installation, including laying of oil filled cables,
sealing ends assembly, construction of joints, and oil feeding equipment. There are the following
methods in laying of oil filled cables and special features are as follows.

Direct Burial
Where the road is narrow, the construction of conduit
under the road is usually not permitted.
Where the number of cables is few and no future
increase is expected.
Where the road digging is easy.
Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable

Underground Duct
In case of a main underground transmission line where
the number of cables are many or expected to be
increased in near future.
In case of hard pavement or where hard pavement will
be constructed in future.
Where digging is difficult due to heavy traffic.

Special Laying
In case cables are installed in special places where there
are bridges or railways, special laying methods are
employed as follows ;

When a cable crosses a river or canal, cables are

attached to the bridge. If there is no suitable bridge in the
neighborhood, an exclusive bridge should be buit or a
method of submarine laying should be adopted.
As long as the strengh and space of the bridge
permits, it is best to attach the cables to the bridge.
Whether it is better to build an exclusive bridge or to lay
submarine cable depends on the cost and difficulty of
construction.
In case of crossing a railway, there are two methods; one
is digging through the railway bed, and the other is
piercing from the side of the railway by using an
excavator. When the cable crosses many tracks like a
surface from railroad or suburban railway, digging the
railway bed is usually adopted. Except for the above
case, piercing by using an excavator is adopted.
 Looking to the Future

In order to provide all the requirement of a world market that asks for ever higher voltages, Taihan
hace a dedicated policy of high investment into research.
It’s this policy which keeps Taihan at the front of thier field-innovating, testing new tecniques and
incorporating the latest technological advancements.
