Initial conductor temperature = 90 Deg. C Final conductor temperature = 250 Deg. C

For duration other than one second the short circuit current carrying capacity may be calculated as
I I
SC = 1/sqrt(t) Where SC = Short circuit current during time t, in amperes.
I = Short circuit current during one second in amperes.
T = Short circuit current duration in seconds (Max. 5 seconds)
Note: For large currents, the force between the cuonductors must be considered especially for single core
cables installations.

SOME IMPORTANT POINTS FOR

CABLE INSTALLATIONS (FOLLOW IS : 1255)
The following are the important point to be taken care of, during cable installations, of site:
1. General : The cable pints to be paid off from the top of the Cable drum, held in the normal position.
Sufficient care should be taken to prevent twists, acute bends etc, while laying the Cable.
2. Mininum Bending Radius:

Single Core Multi Core
- Cables from 3.3 kV to 11 kV : 15 D 15 D
- Cables of 22 & 33 kV : 20 D 15 D
D is the overall diameter of the cable
3. Maximum Pulling Tension during installation:
 Cables having Aluminimum Conductor : 30 N/Sq. mm.

 Cables having Copper Conductor : 50 N/Sq. mm.
4. Cable Support Spacing : The disposition of cables support and its spacing should be such, as to prevent undue strain or damage to the
cables.
5. Prevention of Moisture Ingress : Care should be exercised at site during installation to prevent damage to cable converings and ends
which may cause the ingress of moisture.
6. Tests after Installations : Voltage withstand and Insulation Resistance Test should be conducted on cable after laying or after jointing
and terminations. The test method, voltage and duration should be as stipulated in Is: 12551983, for various
voltage grades of the cables.

CURRENT RATING
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CURRENT RATINGS:
The current rating of power cable is defined by the maximum intensity of current (amperes)
which can flow continously though the cable, under permanent loading conditions, without
any risk of damaging the cable or deterioration of its electrical properties.
The value given in the tables are valid of one circuit in a three phase system under
conditions specified.
For grouping cables rating factors must be used.
The current carrying capacities mentioned in technical data are intended as a guide, to
assist operating engineers in selecting cables for safety and reliability.
Basic assumptions and conditions of installation:-
! Ambient Ground Temperature : 300C

! Ambient Air Temperature : 400C
! Depth of Cable burial : 750 mm
0
! Thermal resistivity of soil : 150 C Cm/W
! Max. conductor Temperature for
0
Continous Operation : 90 C
0
! Max. conductor Temperature for short circuit. : 250 C
Single core cables are installed as indicated in the table. Spacing between cables in flat
formation is as indicated.
For three and four core cables, it is usual to assume the same current carrying capacity for
four cores cables as for three core cables. Our calculated values are based actually on three
cores cables. These values are suitable with enough accuracy also for four core cables in most
cases. Only for large for core cables in air the values may be found to be too conservative, due
to the large cable surface and consequent high heat dissipation factor.
To obtain the maximum current carrying capacity of a cable operating at different conditions
from the standard, various rating factors are to be multiplied, as follows:
I a = K x I s in amperes.
Where:
I a : Current rating at actual operating conditions (amperes)
Is : Current rating at standard operating conditions (amperes)
K : Rating factor as, applicable.

HANDLING STORAGE AND LAYING OF PLAZA GENERAL XLPE CABLES
A) HANDLING 1) The cable with or without drum shall not be thrown or dropped on the
ground from the carries such as trucks or railway wagons, during
unloading.
2) The cable drum be unloaded with the help of cranes or fork lifts or
using a proper ramp having inclination 1:3 to 1:4 in order to avoid
mechanical damage to the outer layers of cables.
3) The cable drums shall be lifted or stored with its flanges always vertical.
4) The Cable drum shall be rolled in the direction of arrow only, in order to
avoid loosening of cable winding. The drum shall not be rolled on rocky,
uneven surface and for longer distances, it may damage the drum and
cable.
B) STORAGE 1) The cables shall be stored in dry covered places having concrete / firm
surface capable of bearing the load of drum.
2) The cable ends shall be sealed property in order to prevent moisture
ingress.
3) Antirodent / termite repulsion treatment shall be applied to the site where
the drum are stored for very long period of time.
C) Laying 1) Plaza General recommends the laying and installation of cables as per
IS:1255/84.
.
2) Care shall be taken during laying to avoid sharp bending, and twisting,
3) Cable shall be un wound from the drum by lifting the drum on the center
shaft support both ends with suitable jacks / stands.
4) Under no circumstances the cable winding shall be lifted off a coil or
drum laying flat at the flanges. This would cause serious twist and
damages.
5) Suitable protection shall be provided to the cables against mechanical
damages, in includes covers, pipes etc.
D) Recommended minimum bending radius for 1100 volts heavy duty cables.
Single Core - 15 x D Where D= Diameter of cable in mm
Multi Core - 12 x D
E) Recommended safe pulling force with stocking.
a) For Unamoured Cable : P = 5 D2Where P= Pulling

Force
2
b) For Copper Conductor : P= 9D D = Diameter of
Cable in mm
F) Recommended safe pulling force when pulled with pulling eye:
a) For Aluminum Conductor : 30 N/mm2

b) For Copper Conductor : 50 N/mm2

Recommended Reel Handling Procedures
When off loading reels from a truck, lower reels carefully using
a hydraulic gate, hoist or fork lift truck. Never drop reels. If reels
must be rolled, roll in opposite direction of the cable wraps to
keep cable from loosening on the reel.
Don’t
When using a hoist, install a mandrel through the reel arbor

holes and attach a sling. Use a spreader bar approximately
6 inches longer than the overall reel width placed between
the sling ends just above the reel flanges. This will prevent
bending the reel flanges and mashing the cable.
Do Don’t
If a fork lift is used, approach the reel from the flange

side. Position the forks such that the reel is lifted by
both reel flanges. Do not allow the lift forks to contact
the cable. Care must be taken by the fork lift operator
not to make sudden turns or stops.
Do Don’t
Cable shipped on pallets should be stored indoors if possible. Cable shipped on wooden or metal
reels may be stored outdoors. When selecting a storage site, consideration should be given to:
• Traffic patterns during off-loading
• Grade and condition of the soil or pavement
• Protection from vehicle damage during the time in storage
• Environmental conditions such as exposure to heat, corrosive chemicals, etc.
Cable reels should be stored on hard surfaces resting on the

flanges edge (flanges vertical). Align reels flange to flange and,
if possible, arrange so that first in is first out. Multiple reels
stacked on top of each other ("Pancake" storage), or storing
reels flat (flanges horizontal) is not recommended for bare
conductor or medium-voltage cable. The weight of the stack
can total thousands of pounds creating an enormous load on
the bottom reel. Also, damage to the reel and/or cable will likely
occur when the reel is flipped for transit. A concentration of
stress on the reel flange may cause it to break and
subsequently damage the cable.
Don’t

Recommended Reel Handling Procedures
If cable reels must be pancaked or stored in vertical racks, do not lift the reel by the top flange.
Spacers placed under the bottom flange and between reels (two 2x4's placed wide side up) create
a space to insert the forks and lift the reel without damaging the cable. If nails are used to secure
the spacers, make sure the nails do not go through the flange and into the cable.
Don’t End View of Spacers Do

When possible, the reel wrap or lagging supplied on the reels should be replaced to help protect
the cable from inadvertent damage. Under extreme environmental conditions, other measures
may be necessary. To prevent entrance of water, cable ends should be sealed with plastic end
caps. Electrical tape does not offer a sufficient seal. When lengths are cut, cable ends should be
immediately resealed and secured.
Recommended Cable Storage Practices
Storage and Storage Maintenance:
Finished cables have no established shelf-life. Moisture and atmospheric conditions can cause exposed conductors
to oxidize and discolor. Uncovered/unsheltered cable will degrade due to exposure to direct sunlight and/or
the elements. If the cables are protected, there should be no degradation of the insulation.
In general, any cable for use indoors should be stored indoors. Any cable suitable for installation outdoors is suitable
for storage outdoors. Cables stored outdoors should have the ends sealed to prevent moisture ingress into
the cable.
Cables should be stored in a sheltered area. While on the reel, cable should be covered with Masonite or a dark
film wrap (to block the sun’s rays and shield from the elements).
o o o
Cables with a cold temperature marking i.e. –10 C, –25 C, or –40 C may be stored outdoors. Cables without a
cold temperature marking must be stored indoors.
Cable reels must remain in the upright position. Cable reels must not be stored on their sides. Reels must not be
stacked.
Cable reels should be stored with the protective covering or lagging in place. If a length of cable has been cut
from the reel, the cable end should be immediately resealed to prevent the entrance of moisture. If a part length
is returned to storage, the reel’s protective covering should be restored.
Wooden reels should be stored off the ground to prevent rotting. Reels should be stored on a flat, hard surface
so that flanges do not sink into the earth. The weight of the reel and cable must be carried at all times by the reel
flanges.
Cable reels and lagging must not be stored for an extended time period sitting in direct contact with water or
dampness. Timbers or metal supports must be placed under the reel flanges to provide elevated storage of the
reels away from the direct contact with water or damp soil.
Reels should be stored in an area where construction equipment, falling or flying objects or other materials will
not contact the cable.
Cable should be stored in an area where chemicals or petroleum products will not be spilled or sprayed on the
cable.
Cable should be stored in an area away from open fires or sources of high heat.
If the reels are relocated, they should be handled as suggested in the “Recommended Reel Handling Practices”
section, and inspection made on each reel during the relocation.
If the cables are stored in a secure area and not exposed to the effects of the weather, an annual inspection
should be satisfactory.
Where the reels are exposed to the weather, a bimonthly inspection should be performed to observe any sign of
deterioration.
If the reels are exposed in a non-secure area, policing of the area at frequent intervals may be required depending
on circumstances.
Records of delivery date, manufacturer, installation date, any extenuating circumstances, along with all test
reports should be kept on file.
Recommended Cable Handling Practices
Unloading and Moving of Reels:
Cable reels are never shipped upended (flat side down). Cable reels that arrive in this manner should be rejected
or received only after a thorough inspection for damage.
See “Recommended Reel Handling Practices” on the following pages.
Upon receipt, a cable’s protective covering and/or lagging should be inspected for evidence of damage during
shipment. If evidence of damage is found, a report should immediately be made to the carrier.
Under no circumstances should reels be dropped from the delivering vehicle to the ground.
Unloading and reel handling should be accomplished so that the equipment used does not contact the cable
surface, and in the case of protective wrap, that the equipment does not contact the protective wrap.
If unloading and reel handling is accomplished by crane, either a cradle supporting the reel flanges or a shaft
through the arbor hole should be used. If a fork lift is utilized, the forks must lift the reel at 90o to the flanges
and the forks must be long enough to make complete lifting contact with both flanges. Under no circumstances
should the forks come into contact with the cable surface or the protective wraps.
When a reel of cable is rolled from one point to another, care must be taken to see that there are no objects on
the surface area which could contact or damage the cable surface or protective wrap.
If an inclined ramp is used for unloading, the ramp must be wide enough to contact both flanges completely.
The stopping of the reels at the bottom shall be accomplished by using the reel flanges and not the surface of
the cable.
