Underground Cables
REQUIREMENTS :
3) The cable must have proper thickness of insulation in
order to give high degree of safety and reliability at the
voltage for which it is designed.
CONSTRUCTION OF CABLES :

Underground Cables
CONSTRUCTION OF CABLES :
1) Cores or Conductors – One or more than one core
(1Φ & 3Φ)
2) Paper Insulation – Suitable thickness of insulation
3) Metallic sheath – Protection from moisture, gases
or other damaging liquids
4) Bedding - Fibrous material like jute or hessian tape
5) Armoring - One or two layers of galvanized steel
wire or steel tape
6) Serving - Protect armoring from atmospheric
conditions 8

Types of Cables
SINGLE-CORE CABLE
The cable has ordinary construction - (upto 6600 V)
It consists of one circular core of tinned stranded
copper (or aluminum) insulated by layers of
impregnated paper.
The insulation is surrounded by a lead sheath which
prevents the entry of moisture into the inner parts.
In order to protect the lead sheath from corrosion, an
overall serving of compounded fibrous material (jute
etc.) is provided.

Types of Cables
SINGLE-CORE CABLE
The cable has ordinary construction - (upto 6600 V)
Single-core cables are not usually armored in order
to avoid excessive sheath losses.
The principal advantages of single-core cables are
simple construction and availability of larger
copper section.

MEASUREMENTS OF Ce AND Cc
The core-core capacitance Cc and core-earth
capacitance Ce can be obtained from the experiential formulas
for belted cables, their values can also be determined by
measurements.
1) In the first measurement, the three cores are bunched
together and the capacitance is measured between the
bunched cores and the sheath. The bunching eliminates all
the three capacitors Cc, leaving the three capacitors Ce in
parallel. Therefore, if C1 is the measured capacitance, this
test yields :
