MANUFACTURING PROCESS AT POLYCAB

POLYCAB HV XLPE cables are manufactured at its most modern manufacturing setup in DAMAN. Manufacture of HV XLPE CABLES requires great care and skill at all stages of processing.Work on HV cables has shown to raise the electric stress of XLPE cables it is essential that the extruded insulation is of high cleanliness without any imperfection, free of contamination, voids and manufacturing defects, and that the screen interface is smooth. In addition an integrated extrusion plant employing a Continuous Centenary Vulcanizing (CCV) process line (Dry Curing Line) is required.Polycab easily met these two criteria by carefully selecting imported insulating materials and by installing 2 CCV lines sourced from world renowned manufacturers. (Fig 1)

Figure 1 : 6 Nos. CCV (DRY CURE) LINES

The cable core is triple extruded and crosslinked in the fully enclosed process in which the inner semi-conducting screen, the XLPE insulation and the outer semi conducting screen are applied simultaneously (Fig 2) to the pre-heated cable conductor. Specialized in-line inspection techniques using X-rays are employed to monitor the dimensional accuracy of the extruded core. These examinations conrm the correct levels of dimensional accuracy.  Figure 2 : THREE LAYER COMON TRIPLE EXTRUSION METHOD The nal stage of HV cable manufacture is the high voltage test, which comprises an HV withstand, and a partial discharge detection test. These tests take place in Polycabs sophisticated HV Test Lab (Fig 3). The tests are of short duration, typically 30 minutes, and are capable of detecting the defects that initiate partial discharges, as small as one pico-coulomb. Such defects lead to gradual deterioration of the XLPE and eventually breakdown may occur.

IMPULSE TEST SET UP

FLAME RETARDANT LOW SMOKE CABLES

The behaviour of Electric Cables in presence of re has been a matter of great concern to all Electrical Engineers involved in Generation, Transmission and Utilisation of electric power. Normally all XLPE Cables have an outer sheath of PVC. Although PVC by itself is ame retarding, it does produce highly toxic and corrosive fumes in the event of re. As a matter of fact, in closed and crowded places such as power stations, subways, railways with long sections in tunnels, road tunnels, ships, hospitals, schools, hotels, cinema theatres, museums and public premises in general, besides the obvious danger represented by re propagation, also fume toxicity and opacity are particularly important as they may cause, with equally serious consequences for human safety, suffocation intoxication and panic due to reduced visibility. FRLS PVC compound should ensure the following : 1) Minimum smoke emission. 2) Very low toxic and corrosive fumes emission. 3) Fire Retardant characteristics. Our laboratory is well equipped with latest test equipments to carry out following test requirements. a) The oxygen index and temperature index of sheath as per ASTM-D 2863. b) Flammability characteristics of cable as per IEC 60332 ( Pt. I ) & IEC 60332 ( Pt. III ) c) Flammability characteristics of cables as per Swedish Standard SS 424 14 75, Class F3. d) Determination of the amount of halogen acid gas evolved during combustion of outersheath materials as per per IEC 60754 ( Pt. I & II ). e) Determination of smoke generation of outersheath material under re as per ASTM-D 2843 f ) The measurement of smoke density as per IEC 61034.

SELECTION OF CABLES
Power Cables are generally selected considering the application. However, following factors are important for selection of suitable cable construction required to transport electrical energy from one end to the other. 1) Maximum operating voltage, 2) Fault Level, 3) Load to be carried, 4) Possible overloading duration & magnitude, 5) Route length and voltage drop. 6) Mode of installation considering installation environment such as ambient & ground temperature chemical & physical properties of soil. 7) Flame retardant properties. All sizes of POLYCAB XLPE cables are designed to standard operating conditions in India and abroad. The standards adopted are considering the geographical/climatical conditions and general applications of power for utilities, distribution and generation purposes. The cables are manufactured conforming to Indian & International cables specications for XLPE Insulated cables. Customer specic requirements can also be met.

CURRENTS RATINGS
POLYCAB RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CURRENT RATINGS:
The current rating of power cable is dened by the maximum intensity of current (amperes) which can ow continuously through the cable, under permanent loading conditions, without any risk of damaging the cable or deterioration of its electrical properties. The value given in the tables are valid for one circuit in a three phase system under conditions specied. For grouping cables rating factors must be used. The current carrying capacities mentioned in POLYCAB technical data are intended as a guide, to assist operating engineers in selecting cables for safety and reliability. Basic assumptions and conditions of installation : 1) Maximum Conductor Temperature : 90 C 2) Ambient Ground Temperature : 3) Ambient Air Temperature : 30 C 40 C Depth of laying (to the highest point of the cables laid direct in the ground ) 1) 3.3, 6.6 & 11kV Cables : 90 cm 2) 22 and 33kV Cables : 105 cm

*Max. Conductor temperature at the end of a short circuit : 250 C To obtain the maximum current carrying capacity of a cable operating at different conditions from the standard, various rating factors are to be multiplied, as follows : I a = K X Is in amperes Where ; I a : Current rating at actual operating conditions (amperes) Is : Current rating at standard operating conditions (amperes) K : Rating factor as, applicable.

HANDLING, STORAGE AND LAYING OF POLYCAB CABLES

A. CABLE INSPECTION Inspect every cable reel for damage before accepting the shipment. Be particularly alert for cable damage if: 1. A reel is lying at on its side 2. Several reels are stacked 3. Other freight is stacked on a reel 4. Nails have been driven into reel anges to secure shipping blocks 5. A reel ange is damaged 6. A cable covering is removed, stained or damaged 7. A cable end seal is removed or damaged. A reel has been dropped (hidden damage likely) B. CABLE HANDLING & STORAGE Damage to cables can occur due to the incorrect handling to which the drums and cables may be subjected; causing breakdown of the drum anges and in exceptional cases, movement of the drum barrel takes place. Once this breakdown of the drum occurs, the cable is immediately exposed to damage. Cables damaged during handling & storage can cause service failures when the subject cable is put to use. Thus the following is a list of Dos and Donts that should be followed while handling and storing the cables before it is put to use.

Dos
When off loading reels from a truck, lower reels carefully using a hydraulic gate, hoist or forklift truck

Donts
Never drop reels. If reels must be rolled, roll in opposite direction of the cable wraps to keep cable from loosening on the reel.

If a fork lift is used, approach the reel from the ange side. Position the forks such that the reel is lifted by both reel anges. Also Consideration should be given to, Trafc patterns during off-loading & damage during the time in storage

Do not allow the lift forks to contact the cable. Care must be taken by the fork lift operator not to make sudden turns or stops.

Cable reels should be stored on hard surfaces resting on the anges edge (anges vertical). Align reels ange to ange and, if possible, arrange so that rst in is rst out.

Multiple reels stacked on top of each other (Pancake storage) is not recommended for cable drums. The weight of the stack can total thousands of kgs. creating an enormous load on the bottom reel. Also, damage to the reel and/or cable will likely occur when the reel is ipped for transit. A concentration of stress on the reel ange may cause it to break and subsequently damage the cable. This may lead to the bending of the reel anges and mashing the cable

When using a hoist, install a mandrel through the reel arbor holes and attach a sling. Use a spreader bar approximately 6 inches longer than the overall reel width placed between the sling ends just above the reel anges.

29

HANDLING, STORAGE AND LAYING OF POLYCAB CABLES

C. PRE- INSTALLATION To ensure safety during cable installation, following shall be checked prior to installation. 1. The cable selected is proper for designed application. 2. The cable has not been damaged in transit or storage. Review all applicable state and national codes to verify that the cable chosen is appropriate for the job. Also consult your local electricity authority. Next, you must identify any existing cable damage and prevent any further damaged from occurring. This is done through proper cable inspection, handling and storage. D. INSTALLATION & LAYING Mechanical stresses during installation are generally more severe than those encountered while in service. Thus care should be taken as regards to the following while installation and laying of cables. 1. Polycab recommend the laying and installation of cables as per IS: 1255/84. 2. Care shall be taken during laying to avoid sharp bending, and twisting. 3. Cable shall be un wound from the drum by lifting the drum on the center. 4. Shaft supported both ends with suitable jacks / stands. 5. Under no circumstances the cable winding shall be lifted off a coil or drum lying at at the anges. This would cause serious twist and damages. 6. Suitable protection shall be provided to the cables against mechanical damages, it includes covers, pipes etc.

E. RECOMMENDED MINIMUM BENDING RADIUS FOR HEAVY DUTY CABLES. Single Core : 20 x D Multicore : 15 x D Where D= Diameter of cable in mm F. RECOMMENDED SAFE PULLING FORCE WITH STOCKINGS: a) For Unarmoured Cable: P = 5 D2 Where P= Pulling Force b) For Armoured Cable : P = 9 D2 Where D= Diameter of cable in mm G. RECOMMENDED SAFE PULLING FORCE WHEN PULLED WITH PULLING EYE : a) For Aluminium Conductors : 30 N/mm2 b) For Copper Conductor : 50 N/mm2

DO NOT ATTEMPT COILING OF CABLE ON THE GROUND

ON THE GROUND CABLE CAN BE FLAKED IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT FORMATION

Note: R Minimum Permissible bending radius of cable.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EARTHEDIUNEARTHED SYSTEM

EARTHED SYSTEM: In the initial years, the generators and transformers were having capacities of few MVA and hence fault current was also less. The star point or neutral point was solidly grounded and this is called earthed system.
R N

UNEARTHED SYSTEM: Today generators of 500 MVA capacity are in commercial use. More over several mega power stations are connected to grid. Due to this, the fault level has increased tremendously. In case of an earth fault, a heavy current ows in to the fault and this may damage the costly generators and power transformers. To reduce the fault current, the star point is connected to the earth through a resistance or a reactance as under:

In this system if an earth fault occurs on any of the phases, the voltages of other two healthy phases with respect to the earth remain the same.

N VR

EARTH

In this case if an earth fault occurs on R phase, the voltage of the faulty phase with respect to the earth (R) appears across the current limiting resistance or reactance in the earth circuit of the star point and as a result the voltage of the star point which was at earth potential under normal conditions rises to VR. Due to this the voltages of other two healthy phases (B and Y) with respect to the earth rises by 1.7 times (Vector sum of VR and VB). If the insulation of these phases are not designed for these increased voltages they may develop earth fault. This is called Unearthed System.
