Characteristics
Through incessant research and development, the excellent functions of oil filled cable has been improved since 1924. Among the many excellent characteristics, some typical ones can be listed as follows.

There is absolutely no void within insulation and is stable electrically. The insulation oil, whose air bubbles and humidity are sufficiently removed by performing degassing treatment, is impregnated in insulating paper layer which is fully dried under high vacuum beforehand and kept under high degree of vacuum, and the cable is made accordingly. Since a definite positive pressure is always kept inside of the finished cable, there is absolutely no void in the cable insulation.

Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable

Operating potential gradient can be large. Since no deterioration takes place in voids in the insulation by ionizations as in the case with the solid-type cable, the operating potential gradient can be large. Therefore, the insulation thickness can be selected as thin.

Expansion and contraction of insulation oil due to temperature change can be compensated by the oil tanks. Expansion and contraction of insulating oil, due to change of load under use or due to change of the external temperature, can be fully compensated by the oil tank installed in a suitable position on the cable route. Therefore, there can be no void in the insulation.

Possibility of cable self-monitoring The inside of the cable is always kept at positive oil pressure so that no humidity intrudes from the outside in case damage occurs in the cable sheath, or in the joint box. Further, in case the insulating oil leaks, the trouble is detected earlier as the alarm device actuates and it is possible to repair before occurrance of full-scale trouble in the cable system.

System Design
OF cable system can be derived from economical decision and maker s engineering capability about super high tension engineering. The reason is that many sites, around the world, have their own characteristics, for instances, swamp or desert, field or mountain, and inland or seaside. So pracrical route survey can only give precise answer just suitable to its own geographical characteristics. We, Taihan based upon the accumulated technical know-how, have the capability to design any kind of cable system requried and install at any site under any circumstances. By the calculation through computer, cable and accessories can be fixed to make a turn-key system for OF cable.

Cable Design
Taihan manufactures oil filled cables according to the following specification and accomplishes design and manufacture of oil filled cables which are suitable for using conditions to meet the following requirements. 1) Standard specification IEC : International Electrotechnical Commission BS : British Standard(U.K) AEIC : Association of Edition Illuminating Company(U.S.A) Taihan Standard : Taihan Electric Wire Co., Ltd.

Oil Feeding System

Selection of proper oil feeding system is one of the most important factors in the system design. We, Taihan OF cable engineers, will design any kind of feeding system to meet the requirement of our customer. We will install our OF cable system at any site whether normal or difficult. The general principle of oil feeding system can be explained hereunder. 1) The minimum oil pressure should be above 0.2 / at any time and any position. 2) The distance necessary to feed the oil and the place to fix the oil feeding tank must be investigated first, and then the kind and volume of oil tank can be fixed.

Manufacturing Facilities and Checkpoints of Quality Control

The quality of a Taihan cable starts with select-ing and using only the best raw material. Be-fore Taihan cables are manufactured the cop-per, aluminum, lead and lead alloy, paper, oil and plastic etc. are all tested in raw mate-rial form. A fully equip-ped laboratory carries out numerous tests, physical, analytical, chemical, electrical and mechanical. And throughout the manu-facturing stages, further tests ensure that pro-duct quality is main-tained.

Paper Lapping Machine

With full automatic tension control apparatus, our paper lapping machine, made by Pirelli in Italy, can manufacture OF cable up to 345kV by a single passage

Paper lapping tension

The lapping tension of paper is calculated by a computer which considers the type of paper, the width of paper, and the diameter on which the paper is lapped.

Bending test immediately after paper lapping

When the leading end has passed the hauling machine, a sample in the length of several meters is subjected to a bending test in order to ascertain that the condition of paper lapping is suitable to working standard.

Humidity control
Paper lapping machines are installed in an special control room in order to keep the humidity in the room. The room is kept at slightly higher than atmospheric pressure so that the entry of dust, litter and fine particles of metal which are detrimental to the insulation of cable can be prevented.

Cabler
Besides singe core, all kind of cables should be passed this machine for cabling. Smooth and clean pass lines for paper core are essential to manufacture high quality cable.

Drying Tank
Dielectric power loss, one of the important characteristics of OF cable can be achieved by complete drying method.

Temperature control of drying tanks

The temperature of drying tank is measured at several points, recorded continuously, and checked to make sure that the temperature is held within the control limit.

Vacuum degree
The vacuum degree of a drying tank is measured at two points, recorded continuously, and checked. Vacuum pumps are in automatic operation and when something goes wrong, they activate and alarm on the central control panel.

Temperature control of conductor during heating

During the initial hours of drying, the cable is heated by an electric current flowing directly through its conductor, which is called the electric current drying method. In this period, a program controller developed by our company controls the speed of temperature rise automatically and records the temperature.

Control of drying period

The manufacturing standard specifies the period of drying according to the type of cable to avoid insufficient or excessive drying. ln addition to that, the drop test and leak test of drying tank utilizing the relationship between the residual moisture content in paper and its equilibrium vapor pressure tell us whether or not the operation is within the contrl limit.

Insulating Oil Degasifier and Impregnating Panel

This equipments can degas and refine the insulating oil, alkylbenzene type synthetic oil, to give and excellent insulating stability for cable. Affer vacuum sheath process, degassed and refined oil can be put into cable.

Degasifying
Before degasifying, the oil is stored in a low vacuum tank, the vacuum degree being monitored, as the pretreatment. During degasification, the vacuum degree is continuously recorded, and the rate of oil flow is automatically controlled to the vacuum degree so as to obtain a uniform degasification degree. After degasifying, the resistivity, power factor, water content for all oil are measured. In order to reduce moisture infiltration, the oil is held under the pressure of nitrogen during storage.

Inspection of oil before oil-impregnation

The state of oil entering into a vacuum bottle is oberved to ascertain if the oil contains bubbles or foreign matter. A sampling test for resistivity, power factor, and water content is also carried out.

Vacuum degree control during oil- impregnation

The vacuum degree of the cable during oil-impregnation is measured and recorded by a worker every two hours. Electromagnetic valves mounted on an oil-impregnating panel automatically close in case of failure of power supply or abnormally low vacuum degree, thus protecting the cable from the entrance of air.

Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable

Control of vacuum degree of cable before oil-impregnation

Usually, after the aluminum sheath covering, vacuum degree of cables has to be checked before being impregnated with oil. This period is utilized to measure the vacuum degree of the cable just before oil-impregnation in order to make sure the aluminum sheath is no pinhole.

Completion of oil-impregnation
The judgement that oil-impregnation is completed is made when the oil pressure ceases to drop.

Vacuum Sheathing Equipment
To withstand inner oil pressure and prevent outer mechanical shock, OF cable should be made with metallic layer. To maintain the low moisture contents of dried insulation paper while sheathing metal layer, OF cable should be made under the vacuum continuously. The manufacturing condition for Aluminum Press and Lead Extruder is almost same. For instance, working condition of aluminum press is as follows.

Vacuum sheathing
After the completion of drying, the cable is covered with an aluminum sheath while still being held in high vacuum degree. Throughout this process, the vacuum degree in the cable is monitored and recorded continuously, and any abnormality in vacuum degree triggers and alarm.

Temperature control
The temperatures of the die-block, the ingot heating furnace, and ingots are continuously recorded for consistent operation.

Surface inspection
As the metallic sheath is one of the vital parts of oil filled cables, its surface is inspected continuously in order to confirm that surface damage, pinhole, and other defects do not exist.

Automatic operation
The aluminum press has fully automatic operation to avoid human error and to obtain stablized quality.

Machine for Reinforced Tapes

After lead sheathing, non-magnetic tapes for example stainless tape, will be wrapped on the lead sheath to reinforce the creep characteristics.

PE/PVC Extruder
As an anti-corrosion protection, in many cases underground cable is used with plastic outer sheathes.

Tests
Before the cables leave factory for their destinations all over the world, a thorough program of extensive testing is carried out.

Routine Test
The tests are carried out on all supplied lengths and the results are recorded. The scope of the test is mainly based on IEC 141-1.

Type Tests
Each new type of cable is submitted to a type approval test that is executed in our high voltage research laboratory. A type tests on short cable lenghs may be agreed. If proof is provided that type tests have previously been carried out on cables of similar construction, no further test needs to be carried out. The scope of the test is mainly based on IEC 141-1.

Accessories
As oil filled cable accessories, there are sealing ends(EB-A, EB-G, EB-O), joint boxes(IJ, NJ, SJ, SIJ), oil feeding and alarm equipments. Sealing Ends
Indoor and outdoor sealing end (EB-A) Sealing end is sends and takes electric power into and out of cable. Porcelain bushings are needed to be insulated between the earth potential parts and the high voltage parts, and this sealing end has stress relief cone formed of wide paper or a condenser cone formed of insulating paper layers and metal foil for inside reinforcement according to the voltage uesd. Connector is fastened to the cable conductor by compression method and a flexible terminal lug is placed between the conductor and the lead wire to avoid applying unnecessary external force against the sealing end.

SF6 gas immersed sealing end (EB-G)

Sealing end is used for terminating the cable for the SF6 gas switch gear. Epoxy bushings are needed to be insulated between the earth potential parts and the high voltage parts. The inner construction of this sealing end is similar to that of an indoor and outdoor sealing end except that the sealing end is completely enclosed and immersed in gas to the higher insulation strength and to prevent dust from collecting, etc.

Insulation joint (IJ)
The structure of this joint is almost same as straight through joint box, and the difference between them is to put an insulator flange at the center of copper casing. This box is used for jointing cables and at the same time for insulating on metal sheath from the other metal sheath to get a sheath voltage reducing under safety level.

Oil stop joint (SJ)

This joint is used for dividing the oil feeding section in case that route length is too long or oil pressure change is too excessive at static or transient operation. Also this joint is used for connecting the cables electrically, and at any time for stopping the oil passage to separate the oil feeding section of both cables.

Oil feeding tank

The inner oil of oil filled cables expands or shrinks automatically, and enough oil has to be kept in the oil feeding tank to supply oil to the cables for a significant length of time even if the oil should be out. There are many kinds of oil feeding tanks, for example, pressure tank(inner and outer gas type) and special oil feeding tank, etc. PT BPT

Valve panel
The valve panel(guage panel) shall be installed at the intermediate of pressure tank and sealing end or oil stop joint and have such a function as to sense and indicate the oil pressure. If necessary, the pressure guage shall be provided with the electrical contacts which shall make the electric cirucit for the oil pressure alarm.

Other Accessories
Cross bond link box
The cross bonding link box shall be used for connecting the bonding wire properly and be provided with surge diverters to discharge at the suitable for installation in joint handholes and manholes and be fully watertight.

Alarm device

Piping Indication Panel

It is advisable to have an alarm device to notify the guard when the cables are out of order or damaged. Usually a transmitter is located at the oil tank and a receiver is placed in the control room. We manufacture three kinds of alarm devices; one alarm device operates when the minimum pressure or volume is reached. Another continuously indicates the pressure or volume, and the third has an indicator and a recorder. The proper one should be chosen after duly considering the functional importance of the cable and the maintenance system adopted for the line.

Oil feeding pipe

The oil feeding pipes used for connecting the cables to the oil tank lead are made of armored lead, copper and etc. We will choose the most suitable one for your particular system.

Terminal box for control cable

The alarm transmitter and receiver are connected with control cables. Since many alarm transmitters are generally used, this terminal box is placed near the transmitters to allow the circuits to be opened or checked.

Installation
Taihan has many achievements and excellent techniques, relative to cable installation work and is making performance doubly sure in regard to safety of operations, besides vigorously promoting development, rationalization and speedy installation. And also Taihan is performing its work consistently, from planning to testing after installation, including laying of oil filled cables, sealing ends assembly, construction of joints, and oil feeding equipment. There are the following methods in laying of oil filled cables and special features are as follows.

Direct Burial
Where the road is narrow, the construction of conduit under the road is usually not permitted. Where the number of cables is few and no future increase is expected. Where the road digging is easy.

Taihan s Oil Filled Power Cable

Underground Duct
In case of a main underground transmission line where the number of cables are many or expected to be increased in near future. In case of hard pavement or where hard pavement will be constructed in future. Where digging is difficult due to heavy traffic.

Special Laying
In case cables are installed in special places where there are bridges or railways, special laying methods are employed as follows ; When a cable crosses a river or canal, cables are attached to the bridge. If there is no suitable bridge in the neighborhood, an exclusive bridge should be buit or a method of submarine laying should be adopted. As long as the strengh and space of the bridge permits, it is best to attach the cables to the bridge. Whether it is better to build an exclusive bridge or to lay submarine cable depends on the cost and difficulty of construction. In case of crossing a railway, there are two methods; one is digging through the railway bed, and the other is piercing from the side of the railway by using an excavator. When the cable crosses many tracks like a surface from railroad or suburban railway, digging the railway bed is usually adopted. Except for the above case, piercing by using an excavator is adopted.

Looking to the Future

In order to provide all the requirement of a world market that asks for ever higher voltages, Taihan hace a dedicated policy of high investment into research. Its this policy which keeps Taihan at the front of thier field-innovating, testing new tecniques and incorporating the latest technological advancements.
