CHAPTER 1
GENERAL
1.1
INTRODUCTION
Cables are used for transmission of electrical
power. They are mostly used for low voltage distribution
in thickly populated area, in substations from transformers
to main distribution panels and from main distribution
panels to different distribution panels. Low voltage cables
are also used in industries, workshops and maintenance
shops/ sheds. Medium & high voltage transmission cables
are also used for crossing the roads, railway lines and in
densely populated areas in big cities.
Cables as compared to overhead lines have the
following advantages.

1.2.1 Conductor
Conductor is a material that provides low
resistance to the flow of electrical current. Electrical grade
high conductivity annealed copper or annealed aluminium
conductors are used in cables. Generally all power cables
have aluminium as the conductor material.
Aluminium of high purity, (99.5% pure electrical
grade) which is highly anticorrosive and highly conductive
is used as conductor in cables. Annealing softens the
aluminium, reduces tensile strength and increase
conductivity.
1.2.2 Insulation
Insulation material means a material having good
dielectric properties, which is used to separate or isolate
the conducting electrical parts. Insulation to be used for
cables must have following properties.

a.
Inner Sheath
For protection from moisture and
aggressive elements, sheath is provided over the
insulation. For oil impregnated paper insulated
cables, lead sheath or impregnated jute tapes with
layers of bitumen compound are used.
For polymeric material insulated cables,
extruded PVC sheath or wrapping of plastic tapes
are used.

b.
Armouring
Armouring is provided to avoid mechanical
injury to the cable. Depending upon the
application, the cable may be armoured or
unarmoured. The armouring is applied over the
core insulation or inner sheath for single core
cables and over the inner sheath for the multicore
cables.
Armour is a metallic wrapping over the
cable insulation. For single core cables, non
magnetic materials are used as armour, for
example, flat aluminium wire. In multicore cables,
common armour is provided for all the laid up
cores and the armour material may be galvanized
round steel wire or flat steel strip.
c.
Outer Sheath
Single core and multicore cables are
provided with an extruded PVC outer sheath. The
colour of the outer sheath is generally black.

Wiring cables
These cables are used for internal wiring of
the buildings and other protected installations and
have two components viz. conductor and
insulation. PVC as insulation material and annealed
copper (solid or stranded) as conductor are
commonly used for wiring cables. Voltage grade of
these cables is upto 1100 Volts.
ii.
Control cables
These are designed for control purposes or
measuring circuits for carrying signals of direct
current upto 220 Volts and alternating currents up
to 440 volts. These cables are available with
armour and without armour. In these cables PVC,
XLPE, EPR, Neoprene etc. are used as insulation.
Control cables are available in 0.5/0.75/1.00/
1.5/2.5 mm2 size copper conductor (solid/stranded)
from 2 cores to 61 cores.
iii.
Power Cables
Electrical power cables are used for
distribution and transmission of electrical energy.
These cables either single core or multicore are
particularly useful in power stations, substations,
house service connections, street lighting, etc. They
can be installed indoors or outdoors, in air, in cable
ducts or under ground.

Armouring
Depending upon the application these
cables can be armoured or unarmoured.
For single core cables flat aluminium wire
armour is used, since aluminium being a non
magnetic material, will not induce stray current.
For multi core cables, galvanized round or
flat steel wire armour or double steel tape armour is
used.
The armouring is applied over the core
insulation or inner sheath in case of single core
cables and over the inner sheath in case of
multicore cables.
vii.
Outer sheath
Outer sheaths are made of black polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) compound, which protect the
armour material from corrosion. This PVC
compound is applied by extrusion method.
Outer sheath is applied over the nonmagnetic metallic tape covering the insulation or
over the non-magnetic metallic part of insulation
screening in case of unarmoured single core cables
and over the armouring in case of armoured cables.

XLPE Cables
Cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated single
core and multicore cables are manufactured with colours
of cores red, yellow, blue to represent phase R, Y, B
respectively and black colour to represent neutral N.
Construction of XLPE insulated cables are similar
to that of PVC cables. Therefore they have all the
advantages of PVC cables in terms of cleanliness., ease of
handling and simple jointing and terminations.
The basic physical difference is that XLPE cables
are more robust thus allowing the thickness to be reduced
which in turn allows a corresponding reduction in the over
all size of the cables.
These cables are suitable for use where
combination of ambient temperature and temperature rise
due to load results in conductor temperature not exceeding
90C under normal operation and 250 C under short
circuit condition.

CABLE JOINTING
Cable joint is a device used to join two or more
cables together for extension of lengths or to branch.
These joints are made to perform at the same voltage class
and ratings of the intended cables and are able to withstand
the normal and emergency loading conditions. Selection of
proper cable accessories, proper jointing techniques, skill
and workmanship is important. The quality of joint should
be such that it does not add any resistance to the circuit.
All underground cable joints must be mechanically and
electrically sound and it is protected against moisture and
mechanical damage. The joint should further be resistant
to corrosion and chemical effects.
Tee/branch joint
These joints are normally used for jointing
a service cable to the main distribution cable in
distribution network.

For unscreened cables, capacitance is measured for
one conductor against others and metal sheath/armour
connected to earth. In case of screened cable it is measured
between conductor and screen. Capacitance bridge is used
for this purpose. This measurement may be carried in case
of cables above 11kV; alternatively values given in test
certificate are considered sufficient.
4.1.2.4 High voltage test
Cables after jointing and terminating are subjected
to dc high voltage test. The recommended values of test

MAINTENANCE OF CABLES
Repairs of cables generally involve replacement of
a section of the defective cable by a length of new cable
and insertion of two straight joints. All repairs and new
joint in connection with repairs should be made in the
same manner as joints on new cables.
In some cases where the insulation has not been
damaged severely, or where moisture has not obtained
ingress into the insulation, it may only be necessary to
install a joint at the point of cable failure.
