Power Cable

Selection of Conductor Size

- current and loading cycle
- Emergency loading and its duration
- Short-circuit rating and fault clearing time
- Allowable voltage drop

Resistance and Skin Effect

Skin effect is an ac phenomena whereby alternating current tends to flow more densely near the outer surface of the conductor than the center

The effective resistance of the conductor is higher for AC than for DC

Reactance of Cables
Electrostatic Capacitance
C = 0.00736 K/log (D/d)
where:
C = capacitance, µF/1000 ft
K = dielectric constant
D = outer diameter
d = core diameter


Cable Shielding

Functions of Insulation Shield
- Confines the dielectric field within the cable
- Equalizes voltage stresses within the insulation by making the electric field - -uniform and radial
- Reduces the hazard of shock
- Helps protect cables installed overhead against induced voltages

Types of Insulation Shield

Shield Jacketed Cable - Consist of semi-conducting tape applied over the insulation followed by a copper tape both of which are spirally wrapped
Concentric Neutral Cable - consist of extruded layer of semi-conducting material over which an annealed cooper coated wires are spirally applied and equally spaced in sufficient numbers.

a. Full conductivity
b. One-third conductivity

Insulation Thickness for Cross-linked, Thermosetting, Polyethylene Insulated Cables
Based on 100% and 133% insulation level

HIGH VOLTAGE ENGINEERING
The demand for the generation and transmission of large amounts of electric power today, necessitates its transmission at extra-high voltages. In the developed countries like USA, power transmission voltages have reached 765 kV or 1100 kV,and 1500 kV systems are also being built. In our country, 400 kV a.c. power systems have already come into operation, and in another 10 years time everystate is expected to be linked by a National Power Grid operating at 400 kV or at 800 kV. At this juncture, a practising electrical engineer or a student of electricalengineering is expected to possess a knowledge of high voltage techniques andshould have sufficient background in high voltage engineering. Unfortunately,at present only very few textbooks in high voltage engineering are available,compared to those in other areas of electrical engineering; even among these, nosingle book has covered broadly the entire range of topics in high voltage engineeringand presented the material in a lucid manner.
