    Cable Laying Methodology

    Uploaded by

    Kanda Velan
    Power cables up to 33 kV must have route indicators every 200 meters and be installed directly in the ground, in ducts, on racks in air or inside tunnels, or along buildings. The cable's current capacity depends on the soil's thermal resistivity and temperature, as higher cable temperatures from heat generation during use shorten its life. Voltage drop at motor terminals also affects starting torque, so permissible voltage drops must be considered.

    CODE OF PRACTICE FOR INSTALLATION

    AND MAINTENANCE OF POWER CABLES


    UP TO AND INCLUDING 33 kV RATING
    1) Power cable route indicators should be provided at an interval not exceeding 200 M
    2) Nature of soil
    The current carrying capacity of a cable is dependent on thermal resistivity of soil and
    ground temperatures for directly buried cable
    Electricity flowing in a conductor generates heat. A resistance to heat flow between the cable
    and the ambient environment causes the cable temperature to rise. Moderate increases in
    temperature are within the range for which the cable was designed, but temperatures above
    the design temperature shorten cable life
    3) Permissible voltage drop
    starting torque of motor depends on square of voltage available at motor terminals.
    METHODS OF CABLES LAYING AND INSTALLATION
    a) Laying direct in ground
    b) Drawing in ducts
    c) Laying on racks in air
    d) Laying on racks inside a cable tunnel
    e) Laying along buildings or structures
