Conductance of armour RADII FOR CABLES While installing cables, the following minimum bending radii should be observed in order that the cables, especially insulation, may not undergo damage. Wherever possible larger bending radii should be used. Selection of Paper Insulated Lead Sheathed Cables. 1. The system voltage. The type of system - earthed or unearthed. It is solid Grounding or Reactance Grounding. 2. Conditions of installation. Method of installation. Estimated thermal resistivity of the soil. Types of coverings employed. The need, if any, for additional corrosion protection. The difference in level between the end terminations of cable runs (these should be known to select the proper type of impregnating compound). 3. The maximum continuous current expected: the overload, if any. While choosing the conductor size for the particular current, proper care is to be taken of all rating factors depending on actual conditions of installations. 4. The voltage drop that will occur when the cable is carrying full load current. The drop should not exceed the allowable limit. 5. Expected short circuit level of the system. On the basis of (expected) short circuit current and the time of clearance, an appropriate conductor size for the cable may be selected. 6. Installation conditions, particularly with respected to the tensile stress on cables. On these depends the type of armouring. 7. While the considerations given above decide the minimum conductor cross section, type of protection required etc., economics govern the choice of the optimum size which will give the minimum running cost. Briefly, the minimum size decided, considering the above factors along with 2 or 3 higher sizes, should be checked for annual running costs. These are worked out by calculation I2R loss (in terms of money) - and the interest depreciation of the cable cost. Add to this 1% maintenance and accessory charges. The total amount is the running cost. The size which gives the minimum running cost should be selected. Other facts, such as standardisaton of cable sizes, future expansion, standardisation of accessories, etc., should also be RATINGS Short Circuit Ratings of Cables Current ratings A. Rating Factors B. Effect of grouping of cables in air C. Installation of cables in unventilated tunnels D. Short time and intermittent loading. E. Cables exposed to Sun HANDLING Preservation/storing & handling of Cable Drums : Storage A) The site chosen for storage of cable drums should be drained of water and should preferable have a concrete or consolidated surface. B) The drums should be stored in such a manner as to leave sufficient space between them for air circulation. It is desirable for the drums to stand on battens placed directly under the flanges. C) In no case shall the drums be stored flat i.E., with flanges horizontal. D) Overhead covering is not essential except in heavy rainfall areas or during monsoons. Cables should, however be protected from direct rays of the sum by leaving the battens on or by providing some form of sunshield.

Calculated Effective Sectional Area: The area of a solid conductor of the same resistivity and having the same resistance as that of any equal length of the conductor. In the case of a split conductor cable, the calculated effective area is the sum of the cross sections of each of the two or more sections into which the conductor is divided.

Conductor: A body or substance, which offers a low resistance to the passage of an electric current. Continuous Vulcanisation (CV) : A continuous, in-line process whereby a wire has an extruded covering applied, is then passed through a tube containing such temperature and pressures as are necessary to complete vulcanisation. Control Cable : A multi-conductor cable made for operating in control or signal circuits, usually flexible, relatively small in size, and with relatively small current rating. Core: Assembly comprising a conductor and its own insulation. Corona Discharge: A phenomenon called corona discharge may occur in high voltage transmission line , resulting in formation of ozone, a highly reactive form of oxygen, and in ionisation of oxygen in the surrounding air. The insulation may be attacked by ozone and by corona Corona partial discharge may also occur in a void within insulation system where the voltage gradient is sufficiently high. Cross-Sectional Area: The sum of the cross-sectional area of the component wires of the conductor of a cable, the cross sectional area of each wire being measured perpendicular to its individual axis. Current Carrying Capacity: The current a conductor of a given size is capable of carrying safely without exceeding its own temperature limitations, at a defined set of conditions. Direction of Lay: Defined as ?right-hand? or ?Left-hand? these terms have the same meaning as specified for screw threads. It is said to be ?right-handed? if, when assembled with a fixed mating thread and twisted in a clockwise direction, it moves away from the operator; and ?left-handed? if, when assembled with a fixed mating thread and twisted in a clockwise direction, it approaches the operator. The right-hand lay is also know as Z-lay and left hand lay as S-Lay. Distributor: The portion of any underground cable with which a service line is, or is intended to be, immediately connected.

Lay Ratio: The ratio of the axial length of complete turn of the helix formed by the core of a cable or the wire of a stranded conductor, to the mean diameter of the helix. Length of lay(LAY): The axial lenth of one complete turn of the helix formed by the core in the case of a cable, or of the wire in the case of a stranded conductor.

Mains, Underground: All underground cables used for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy and includes feeders, distributors and pilot cables. Messenger : A bare cable used for its strength characteristics to support power conductors and insulated power cables. A messenger can be used as a conductor, partial conductor, or non-conductor. Milliken conductors : With alternating current there is a tendency for more of the current to be carried on the outside of the conductor than in the centre (skin effect), and to overcome this problem the larger sizes of conductor are frequently of Milliken construction. Such conductors are formed from several individual sector shapes (usually four for power cables). A thin paper or other suitable insulation is applied over alternate sectors. There is insufficient economic advantage to use this construction below 1000 mm2 but Milliken design may also be used to obtain increased conductor flexibility.
