CONDUCTORS

Wire Drawing:
Copper Rods (diameter 8.0 mm) are drawn on Heavy Drawing Machines to reduce the diameter in drawing stages
from 8.0 mm down to 1.7 or 1.5 mm (depending on number of drawing stages of the machine).
STRANDING:

It is an operation to strand a group of wires to form the conductor according to its design construction, using a stranding mach
- Conductors are either Plain copper or aluminum, stranded circular compacted or sector shaped, or Milliken for HV Cables.
- All are in accordance with IEC 60228.
- No. of wires and wire diameter are adjusted to the specified resistance, so the
Specification allows the manufacturer to choose the no. and diameter of wires within

TRIPLE INSULATION LINE

Insulation is made on a production line called the Catenary Continuous Vulcanization line CCV with
heat treatment ongoing – Catenary Continuous Vulcanization and in some factories use vertical line and
for high voltage cables, high voltage and called VCV Vertical Continuous Vulcanization

Semi Conductive Materials


Semi conductive materials are used to control electrical field on both conductor and insulation outer surface.
Material is copolymer, highly hygroscopic, containing 30 to40 % carbon black. Therefore it has to be
maintained dry and usually dried before use.
Border between the semicon and insulation layer must be smooth as ever to avoid electric field concentration.

INSULATION MATERIAL
Normally, the Peroxide XLPE is used as insulation for all MV, HV and EHV cables.

Insulation Process on CV Line:
• Compound feed
• True Triple Extrusion
• X-ray dimensional scanning
• Dry curing
• Dry cooling
• Stress relaxation
• Post extrusion scanning
Semi conductive materials are used to control electrical field on both conductor and insulation outer surface.
• Material is copolymer, highly hygroscopic, containing 30 to 40 % carbon black.
Therefore it has to be maintained dry and usually dried before use.
• Border between the semicon and insulation layer must be smooth as ever to avoid electric field concentration, and
minimize any local high stress.
• There is however universal agreement that to achieve the highest design stresses it is necessary to have:
(a) no cavities within the insulation or at the interfaces with the screens;
(b) the smoothest interfaces between the screens and insulation to minimize local stresses;
(d) the best insulation circularity and concentricity to minimize stress variations and to facilitate the precise assembly of
accessories.
• Dry curing method using pressurized nitrogen inert gas inside the tube is most commonly used today.
• Pressure is needed in order to avoid bubble forming in the insulation

DEGASSING of PEROXIDE XLPE

 When the process of the X-linking is complete, the insulation will contain a specific quantity of
by-products resulted from the chemical reaction of the x-linking, which is limited according to
the insulation process parameters stability.

 This byproducts gases should be degassed to avoid creating problems during cable jointing
and termination.

 Degassing is conducted mainly through Degassing Rooms and/or Current Transformers.

 If degassing is insufficient, we face the following problems when installing the Cable:

1- Shrinkage in lead or metal cover over the cable


2- Exit of gases to the ends of cable Termination making it swell and fail.

METALLIC SCREEN or METALLIC SHEATH:
1. It represents the metallic part of the insulation screen, and its purpose is to prevent
electromagnetic interference from the cable to surrounding or from the cable to itself.
2. It is agreed now that the cables should have a moisture waterproofing mechanism whether
metal such as Lead sheath or aluminum or non-metallic such as barrier strips waterproofing
tapes, and this prevents the formation of water trees which will reflect in presence of electric
stresses.
3. Metallic shield works as a grounding path for both AC Capacitive Currents and for
Short Circuit Currents

Types of Metallic Shield:


1. Spiral Screen Wires
2. Copper Tapes, or Aluminum Laminated Tapes.
3. Lead Alloy sheath extruded longitudinally on cable.
4. Combination of both Lead sheath and Copper wires.

25
Innovation, Commitment, Appreciation, Respect and Excellence
Concentric Layer of Copper Wires:
Advantages:
1. Effective design with moderate weight
2. Withstand high short circuit
Disadvantages
Low resistance which require special connections for
screen (grounding in one point or link via cross
bonding) in order to limit the losses due to rotational
movements.

26
Innovation, Commitment, Appreciation, Respect and Excellence
Extruded Lead Alloy:
Advantages:
1. Good protection against water penetration
2. High resistance, so it losses energy in low rate in
case of continuous earthing
3. High resistance to wear
Disadvantages
 Heavy weight & expensive
 Poisonous and needs special care
 Limited in withstanding Zero-Sequence Short Circuit
Currents

Combined Lead Sheath & Copper Wire Screen:


Contains combined advantages of both Lead & Copper wire screen.
1. It is expensive in addition to Lead content as a poisonous member.
2. Copper wire placed under the Lead, which can share the characteristics
of corrosion Resistant in the latter.

Overview of the HV Cable System Design

Innovation, Commitment, Appreciation, Respect and Excellence


53
54
Types of Conductor
There are two designs of conductor, compact round stranded and segmental “Milliken” stranded

Compact round conductors, composed of several layers of concentric spiral-


wound wires. In round stranded compact conductors, due to the low resistance
electrical contacts between the wires, the skin and proximity effects are virtually
identical to those of solid plain conductor.

Segmental conductors, also known as “Milliken” conductors are composed of several


segment shaped conductors assembled together to form a cylindrical core.

The large cross-section conductor is divided into several segment-shaped conductors. There
are from 4 to 7 of these conductors, which are known as segments or sectors. They are
insulated from each other by means of semi-conductive or insulating tape. The Milliken type
structure reduces the highly unfavourable skin effect and proximity effect

55
56
Cable Conductor

The aluminium or copper conductor carries the electrical current. The conductor behaviour is characterized by two
particularly noteworthy phenomena: the skin effect and the proximity effect
skin effect
The skin effect is the concentration of electric current flow around the periphery of the conductors This phenomenon is known
as skin effect A longitudinal element of the conductor near the center of the axis is surrounded by more lines of magnetic
force than near the rim. This results in an increase in inductance toward the center. The decreased area of conductance causes
an apparent increase in resistance
• the alternating current I causes an alternating H field
• the alternating H field causes eddy currents I in the conductor
• the eddy currents I are superimposed to the current I
• in accordance with Lenz law, the current density in the centre of the conductor is reduced,
while it is increased in the outer area

57
Proximity effect

The short distance separating the phases in the same circuit generates the proximity effect. When the conductor diameter is
relatively large in relation to the distance separating the three phases, the electric current tends to concentrate on the surfaces
facing the conductors. The wires of the facing surfaces indeed have a lower inductance than wires that are further away. The
current tends to circulate in the wires with the lowest inductance.

In practice, the proximity effect is weaker than the skin effect and rapidly diminishes when the cables are moved away from
each other. The proximity effect is negligible when the distance between two cables in the same circuit or in two adjacent
circuits is at least 8 times the outside diameter of the cable conductor.

58
Semi-conductor screen on conductor.

• To prevent electric field concentration,


• smoothing of the conductor surface
• firmly bonded to the insulation
• smooth transition from (semi) - conducting to insulating components
• material: XLPE with carbon black
• Semi-conductor screen on conductor.
• an interface of ultra-smooth semi-conductor XLPE
• between the conductor and the insulation.
• the electric field lines would be straight lines taking the shortest path from
the conductor to the ground
• This would form a cylindrical capacitor and would make the most A conductor shield is added to provide
effective use of the dielectric a smooth inner electrode

59
The XLPE Insulation
• As its name suggests, the insulation insulates the conductor when working at high voltage from the screen working at earthing
potential.
• firmly bonded to the inner and outer semi-conductor no voids or contaminations

Semi-conductor screen on Insulation.

This layer has the same function as the conductor screen:


Progressive transition from an insulating medium, where the electric field is non- null, to a conductive medium (here the metal cable
screen) in which the electric field is null.

Functionality and Design of the Metallic screen / Sheath

When the voltage reaches tens or even hundreds of kV, a metallic screen is necessary. Its main function is to nullify the
electric field outside the cable.
It acts as the second electrode of the capacitor formed by the cable.
Use of a metallic screen implies:
• The need to connect it to earth at least at one point along the route.
• Draining the capacitive current that passes through the insulation.
• Draining the zero-sequence short-circuit currents, or part of them. This function is used to determine the size of the metallic screen.
The second function of the metallic screen is to form a radial barrier to prevent humidity from penetrating the cable, particularly its
insulation system

62
Anti-Corrosion Protective Jacket
The jacket has a dual function:
• It insulates the metallic screen from ground (particularly for lines with special screen connections)
• It protects the metal components of the screen from humidity and corrosion.
The outer jacket must also withstand the mechanical stresses encountered during installation and service, as well other risks such as
termites, hydrocarbons, etc.

The most suitable material for this is polyethylene.

PVC is still used but increasingly less so. Indeed, one of the advantages of PVC is its fire-retardant properties,
These materials however have mechanical properties that are inferior to those of polyethylene and are more costly. They should be
reserved for installations or parts of installations where fire protection is required.

To verify the integrity of the outer jacket, a semi-conducting layer is often applied to this jacket.

This layer is made of semi-conducting polymer co-extruded with the outer jacket.

Cable System Rating
• The ampacity, or current rating, of a cable is one of the most important factor to consider when designing an underground
cable system
• The determination of the maximum current that a cable can sustain without deterioration of any of its electrical and/or
mechanical properties has always been of prime interest to system design engineers and constitutes an important design
parameter for both system planning and operations.
• Calculation encompasses many aspects of the cable construction and installation.
• There are many factors that come into play when trying to design the optimal and most economical underground cable
systems.
The thermal performance of the underground cable system depends mostly on the following factors
• Voltage level and Cable Size
• Soil Thermal Resistivity
• Cable installation Depth
• Cable circuit Separation

Electrical field

Electric field distribution or voltage gradient is therefore represented by a


homogenoius radial field. The value of the voltage gradient at a point x within the
insulation can therefore be calculated as:

with
Uo = Operating voltage (kV)
rx = Radius at position x (mm)
ra = External radius above the insulation (mm)
ri = Radius of the internal field delimiter (mm)
The electrical field strength is highest at the inner
semiconductor and lowest above the insulation
(below the external semiconductor, rx = ra).

Bonding & Earthing methods

High voltage cables have a metallic sheath, along which a voltage is induced as a function of the operating current.
In order to handle this induced voltage, both cable ends have to be bonded sufficiently to the earthing system. The
following table gives an overview of the possible methods and their characteristics

SVL for cable sheaths

Lightning strokes or switching pulses might induce over-voltages in cable sheaths. Without SVL these over-
voltages can destroy the cable sheaths. SVL limit the induced voltages.

During normal operation the end of the cable screen is insulated to ground (reduction of losses).
In case of induced over-voltages (caused by lightning strikes or
switching pulses) the surge voltage limiter becomes conductive
and protects the cable sheath from puncture.

SVL are surge arresters. Typically they consist on varistors


based on ZnO, which is doped with different elements.
(Varistor: Variable Resistor)

Innovation, Commitment, Appreciation, Respect and Excellence


SVL for cable sheaths

• The rated voltage Ur is the highest permissible


voltage at power frequencies for a limited
duration and is given by the manufacturer of the
surge arrester (for example: Ur = 1.25 Uc)

• The residual voltage Ures defines the protection level of the


surge arrester. The residual voltage is the maximum voltage at the
arrester during a 8/20 current impulse of the nominal discharge
current (e.g. 10 kA)

Short-Circuit Operating Conditions

Short-circuit currents in an electric network are a result of the accidental connecting of one or more phase conductors, either
together, or with ground.

1. Symmetrical short-circuits

(3 phase short-circuits) where the currents in the three phases form a balanced system. These currents therefore only circulate
in the main conductors of the cables.

2. Zero-sequence short-circuits

result from an asymmetrical, i.e. unbalanced current system. Zero-sequence currents return via the ground and/or by the
conductors that are electrically parallel to ground. These conductors are mainly:
• ground conductors,
• metallic screens connected to ground at the line terminations
• the ground itself
The metallic screens of the cables must therefore have a large enough cross-section to withstand these so-called zero-
sequence short-circuits

DTS: Distributed Temperature Sensing

How The System Works: Optical Time Domain Reflectometry


Laser pulses are sent into the optical fibre and the Interaction of laser light with vibrating glass molecules in optical fibre
leads to a back scattering (Raman-Scattering) of the light with two different frequencies (Stokes line and Anti-Stokes line).

Because the intensity of the back-scattered Anti-Stokes light depends on the temperature, one can determine from the
measured intensity the temperature at the location of scattering in the optical fibre From the time difference between sending
the laser pulse and the detection of the scattered light one can determine the location in the optical fibre where the light was
scattered.

Innovation, Commitment, Appreciation, Respect and Excellence


Distributed Temperature Sensing

DTS can not only be used for monitoring the temperature of a cable system, it can be also used for real time thermal rating
(RTTR) of the cable system.

From DTS data one can calculate the temperature of the cable conductor along the cable route.

With real time determined conductor temperature one can increase the current in the cable without a danger of overheating
locally the cable.

Real time thermal rating based on distributed temperature sensing allows an optimization of the energy transmission in HV
cables.

Maintenance for HV Cables & accessories,
• Maintenance: the combination of all technical and administrative actions, including supervision actions,
intended to retain an item in, or restore it to, a state in which it can perform a required function
• Predictive Maintenance: an equipment maintenance strategy based on measuring the condition of
equipment in order to assess whether it will fail during some future period, and then taking appropriate
action to avoid the consequences of that failure
• Preventive maintenance: the maintenance carried out at predetermined intervals or according to prescribed
criteria and intended to reduce the probability of failure or the degradation of the functioning item
• Corrective Maintenance: to repair or to replace broken components Time Based Maintenance: to perform
maintenance on a predetermined schedule= preventive maintenance Condition Based Maintenance: to
perform maintenance, based on the results of condition assessment of the component= predictive
maintenance

PARTIAL DISCHARGE
• Partial discharge is best described as a failure of part of an insulation system to withstand the electrical field
applied to it.
• This can be a result of poor design, poor workmanship, defective materials, contamination, or aging
• The result of this failure is a high-frequency, unipolar discharge and accompanying current that flows through
and on the insulation from the conductor to ground.
• This current pulse is low energy due to its short (microsecond) duration, but it can negatively affect the
insulation and eventually cause catastrophic failure
• The discharge spark erodes the insulation from within through its heat and ionization. If occurring on the surface,
the discharge also causes the breakdown of air molecules into oxygen (ozone) and nitrogen (nitric oxide).
• The nitric oxide forms nitric acid, which erodes the insulation from the outside.
