Advantage of cable system on overhead system:-

 Safety is better.
 Less space is required for installation.
 Less maintenance and less breakdown.
 Where there is no other options left for over head system.
 For decency and decorative purpose.
 Power theft & loss of power can be minimised.
 It is environmental friendly .
Disadvantages :-
 Installation cost is high and it increases many folds with
voltage of the system.
 Location of fault point is more difficult but using modern
fault detection system break down period is minimised.
 A spare core is laid out for quick restoration of supply which
increased the cost of installation.

 SOME (ISS & IE) RULES ON CABLE LAYING
DEPTH OF CABLE LAYING
SAND FILLING
 UP to 1.1 Kv- 0.45 meters Hard layer on top
Pre cast concert or
 3.3.Kv to 11Kv- 0.75 meters Breaks
8cm
Sand filling
 22Kv to33Kv- 1.0 meter

 To reduce mutual heating and one faulty cable cause injury to a healthy one
preferably spacing of 0.4 meters to be maintained. In worst case it should not be
less than 0.25 meters.

 A power cable should not be bent less than 8 times of it’s overall dia.(I.S.1026-1966)

 A power cable must maintain a minimum distance of 0.4 meter with a water
supply line. (both running parallel and crossing).

 The desirable horizontal and vertical separation between power cable and
communication cable is o.6 meters, but in no case it should be less than 0.4 meters
for single core and 0.3 meters for multi core.The power cable and communication
cable should cross at right angles as far as possible.
POWER CABLE CROSSING RAILWAY TRACK AND HIGH WAY

Road crossing:-
Power cables should be laid under the roads through a cast iron or steel pipe at an
angle to prevent sharp angle at the point of entry and less loading factor.

Railway track crossing:-

Cast iron or steel pipes is used for laying cables under railway track. The pipe
should be laid at a depth not less than one meter bellow the formation level with
slight gradient and should extend to a minimum distance of three meters from the
center of the outermost track.
