Technical DataAmpacity

The ampacities given in the tablesbelow are based on the followingconditions:

Conductor temperature 90C Ambient earth temperature 20C Earth interface temperature not limited Ambient air temperature 40C Direct burial depth 0.9 m (3 ft.) with

cables spaced 19 cm centre-to-centrein one horizontal layer of 3 cables

Depth to top of duct bank 0.8 m(2.5 ft.)

Earth thermal resistivity 90C cm/ W Load factor 100% One circuit operating No shield circulating current

Where shields are grounded at morethan one point, the ampacities shownabove should be adjusted to take intoconsideration the heating due to shieldcurrents.

For buried installations, the valuesshown may be limited by the maximumearth interface temperature due to soil

moisture migration. Knowledge oflocal soil conditions is necessary forthe determination of the proper earthinterface temperature to be used.Typical values are between 50C and60C, which experience has indicatedshould be satisfactory for most types ofsoils.

Short Circuit Capacity

The short circuit capacity of phaseconductors and shields is limited bytheir heat capacity and by themaximum temperature permitted in theadjacent cable materials. Thetemperature limits established byAlcatel Canada Wire are:Phase conductors 250CShield 200C

The following equation is used tocalculate short circuit capacity:

wherelsc = short circuit current, amperesk = constant

(= 0.0297 for copper, 0.0125for aluminum)

A = conductor or metallic shield*area, cmil

T0

= inferred temperature of zeroresistance(= 234.5 for copper, 228.1 foraluminum)

T1 = temperature of conductor orshield at start of short circuit

T2

= limiting temperature for shortcircuit

t = short circuit duration, seconds

*Shield area = 4 dsm bdsm = mean shield diameter, milsb = shield tape thickness, mils

In using the above formula, the shortcircuit duration should not exceed 3seconds, after which time heat will

begin to flow and a differentcalculation procedure is required.

The self reactance of a single cable is:XL =0.0754 ln(rn/ GMR) ohm/ km at

60 Hz(= 0.023 ln(rn/ GMR) ohm/ 1000ft)

wherern =mean radius of the shield

The reactance of the shield is:XL =0.0754 ln(GMD/ rn) ohm/ km at

60 Hz(= 0.023 ln(GMD/ rn) ohm/ 1000ft)

Capacitance

The capacitance of single conductor,insulated and shielded cables is:C =0.0556 e/ ln(D/ d) F/ km

(= 0.0169 e/ ln(D/ d) F/1000 ft)wheree =dielectric constant of the

insulation(= 2.3 for XLPE)

D =diameter over the insulationd =diameter under the insulation

Capacitive reactance, Xc = 1.0 x 10+6

2 fC

ohm/ km (or ohm/ 1000 ft), is usuallyignored in cables up to about 20 km(12 miles) in length. Note thatcapacitive reactance is inverselyproportional to the cable length.

InstallationPulling Tension

The maximum tension applied to acable during installation is limited inorder to prevent damage or distortionof cable components which couldreduce the life or reliability of thecable.

The method of pulling is significant inthat different methods will result indifferent stresses on critical cable

components for the same overalltension

Alcatel Canada Wire recommendsthat, wherever possible, the cable bepulled by means of the conductor,aided where feasible by a grip overthe outer jacket.

*Note: Maximum allowable tension when pulling directly on the conductor(s).

The tension developed in any straightsection of a duct is calculated asfollows:T = 9.81 LWFwhereT = pulling force, NewtonsL = section length, metresW = cable weight, kg/ metref = coefficient of dynamic friction

The tension developed in a bend iscalculated as follows:T = T1 e(fa)

whereT = tension leaving bend

T1 = tension at bend entrancee = base of natural logarithms

The parameter e(fa)is evaluated forsome common conditions.

At any bend the tension should notexceed 22.5 kN per metre of radius ofthe bend.

When designing the duct layout, it isrecommended that the bends beconcentrated near the end from whichthe cable is to be pulled. This practicewill result in lower tensions. In somecases, the tensions resulting fromalternative directions should becalculated.

Both the cable and pulling rope shouldbe well lubricated with a goodcommercial cable lubricant followingthe lubricant suppliers instructions.

The recommendations given above areintended to cover a wide range ofpulling conditions. It is possible, underideal conditions, and with experiencedsupervision, to exceed these limits. Forfurther guidance, see IEEE Paper 84T&D 365-3, or contact Alcatel CanadaWire.

Field TestingA high-voltage DC test made beforeplacing a new cable system in servicewill normally reveal grossimperfections such as mechanicaldamage during installation orimproperly made accessories. It is notexpected to reveal deterioration due toageing in service.

At any time during installation, a ProofTest may be made at a voltage notexceeding that shown in the tableapplied for five consecutive minutes.

After installation and before the cableis placed in regular service, anAcceptance Test may be made at avoltage not exceeding that shown inthe table applied for 15 consecutiveminutes.

After the cable has been completelyinstalled and placed in regular service,a Maintenance Test may be made atany time within the first five years at avoltage not exceeding that shown in

the table applied for five consecutiveminutes. Recent research has shownthat the loss of dielectric strengthcaused by normal wet ageing willshorten cable life when subjected toDC testing. After that time, such testingis not recommended.

These tests should only be undertakenby persons familiar with the use of theequipment and appropriate safetyprecautions. If any equipment isincluded beyond the cableterminations, the dielectric strength of

such equipment must be taken intoconsideration when establishing thetest voltage.

The maximum permissible leakagecurrent can be calculated with theformula below. Note that this does notinclude terminal leakage.

N/ mm2= MPa

NoteKilopascals are used generally for fluidpressures. Megapascals are usedgenerally for stresses in materials, i.e.for tensile stress, modulus of elasticity,etc.

Temperature Conversion

F to C: C = (F minus 32) x 5/ 9C to F: F = (C x 9/5) plus 32
