Low Voltage 0.6/kV Cables

CONSTRUCTION
Olex 0.6/1 kV cables are designed in accordance with relevant New Zealand, Australian or British Standards and specific customer requirements (where applicable) to provide optimum performance for the end application. The standards referred to for PVC insulation are: NZS 6401 AS/NZS 4961 AS/NZS 5000.1 AS/NZS 5000.2 BS 6346 The standards referred to for XLPE insulation are: AS/NZS 5000.1 AS/NZS 4026 AS/NZS 4961

Component Detail
Conductor
Conductors are made from either plain or tinned copper or solid or stranded aluminium. Depending on the cable construction, conductors may be either circular, compacted or shaped.

Insulation
The insulation materials used in Olex 0.6/1 kV cables are as follows: 1. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), meeting the requirements of: V-75 (AS/NZS 3808), V-90 (AS/NZS 3808), and TI1 (BS EN 50363-3.). 2. XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene), meeting the requirements of: X-90 (AS/NZS 3808, AS 3560) and GP8 (BS 7655: Section 1.3.).

Core Assembly
The cores of cables having flat profiles are laid side by side during the subsequent process. In circular cables, the cores are laid up and the interstices filled with a non-hygroscopic material where necessary to achieve a circular cable crosssection. The laid up core assembly may be bound with helically applied non-hygroscopic tapes.

Neutral Screen
In neutral screened cables, a screen of plain annealed copper or tinned annealed copper wires is helically applied over the core of a single core cable or the core assembly of a multicore cable.

Bedding and Armour (Multicore cables)


In multicore armoured cables, a bedding of PVC is extruded over the core assembly followed by a layer of helically applied galvanised mild steel wires.

Outer Sheath
A sheath of PVC with suitable temperature rating is extruded over the underlying components. Additional protective coverings may be applied depending on the environment in which the cable is installed, eg, a nylon oversheath and an additional sacrificial PVC layer are often specified for protection against termite attack.

CURRENT RATINGS
The current carrying capacity of a cable is determined by the following factors: 1. Current flowing in a conductor generates heat and causes the conductor temperature to rise above the ambient temperature. 2. Different methods of installation or the presence of external heat sources such as adjacent cables vary the rate of heat dissipation. 3. The insulation material determines the maximum conductor temperature which can be sustained continuously over the expected life of the cable. The continuous current ratings for Low Voltage (LV) 0.6/1 kV cables given in this catalogue have been obtained from AS/NZS 3008.1.2. In all cases, the ratings given are the single circuit ratings, corresponding to continuous loading at the maximum conductor temperature appropriate to the insulation material.

Environmental Conditions
The current ratings are based on the following operational conditions: ambient air temperature of 30C, soil temperature of 15C, soil thermal resistivity of 1.2 K.m/W and depth of burial of 0.5 m. Where conditions vary from those on which the ratings are based, appropriate rating factors from Tables 3.1 to 3.4 need to be applied.

Methods of Installation
The methods of installation for which the ratings are applicable are shown graphically in Figure 2.1 (Section 2 General Technical Information). Arrangements which are shown one above the other for the same installation method are deemed to have the same current carrying capacity. Earthing conductors and lightly loaded neutral conductors of three phase circuits are ignored for current rating purposes and are generally not shown in the graphical representations of the cable and installation methods. Thus, where two single core cables or a two core cable is shown the current rating applies to single phase operation; where three single core cables or a three core cable is shown the current rating applies to two or three phase operation.

Groups of Circuits
For groups of circuits unenclosed in air, the spacings and arrangements which need to be maintained to prevent derating are given in Figure 2.2 (Section 2 General Technical Information). Where underground circuits are spaced by more than 2 m from adjacent circuits, no derating applies. Also, if adjacent circuits are operated at less than 35% of their current carrying capacity they may be excluded from considerations as their contribution to mutual heating will be small. Where a number of circuits are installed in close proximity in such a way that they are not thermally independent, the appropriate rating factors from Tables 3.5, 3.6, (Section 3 Low Voltage 0.6/1 kV Cables) and Tables 2.1, 2.2 (Section 2 General Technical Information) need to be applied.

Cables in Parallel
For cables operated in parallel, each parallel leg is regarded as a separate circuit for current rating purposes and the appropriate rating factors for grouping are applicable. Refer also to Figure 2.3 (Section 2 General Technical Information) for the arrangements of single core cables so as to ensure equal current sharing between parallel legs of the same phase.

Solar Radiation
For cables exposed to direct sunlight, the effect of solar radiation is to increase the surface temperature of the cable and hence limit the temperature rise due to the load in the conductors. Where possible, cables should be shielded from the direct rays of the sun without restricting ventilation. Otherwise, the effect of solar radiation should be taken into account, either by calculation in accordance with IEC 60287, or as an approximation by adding 20C to the ambient air temperature and applying the appropriate rating factor.

VOLTAGE DROPS
In order to ensure satisfactory operation of electrical equipment, it is necessary to maintain the voltage at which it is supplied within certain limits.

Voltage Drop Limitations


In New Zealand, the nominal supply system is 230/400 volts. The maximum voltage drop from the point of supply to any point in the installation is required to be no more than 5% of the nominal supply voltage, ie, 11.5 V for 230 V phase to earth or 20 V for 400 V phase to phase. The voltage drop limitation applying to a circuit needs to be assessed taking account of the function of the circuit and its relationship with other circuits. For example, other voltage drop limits may apply in ELV circuits or may be dictated by motor starting considerations. Also, the voltage drop in mains and submains circuits should take account of the voltage drop in final sub-circuits (and vice versa) to ensure the total voltage drop in the installation is within the required limits.

Use of Tabulated mV/A.m Figures


The voltage drop (mV/A.m) values given in this publication have been obtained from AS/NZS 3008.1.2. They represent the worst case conditions, whereby it is assumed that the cable is operating at maximum rated temperature and is supplying a load having a power factor equal to the power factor of the cable. For three phase circuits, balanced loading is assumed. On this basis, where the cable size and type, load current and length of run are known, the voltage drop can be calculated from the following: V *I*L (V) Vd = t 1000 where: Vt = the Tabulated Voltage Drop Figure for the Cable (mV/A.m), I = the Load Current (A), and L = the Length of Run (m). This formula is used to calculate the voltage drop in a circuit when the cable size is known. Rearrangement of this equation gives the maximum mV/A.m value for compliance with a specific voltage drop. 1000 * Vd Vc = (mV/A.m) I*L This formula should be used to select the cable size necessary to meet a specific voltage drop limitation. The size selected should have a tabulated mV/A.m figure not greater than the calculated value of Vc.

Unbalanced Three Phase Circuits


In many three phase circuits the loading on each phase is not equal. In these cases, current will flow in the neutral conductor and the tabulated three phase mV/A.m values will not strictly apply. Where the imbalance is known to be small, a conservative method of voltage drop assessment is to assume balanced three phase load conditions but use the current flowing in the most heavily loaded phase. However, where the imbalance is significant, or not readily determined, it may be necessary to revert to a single phase basis. The single phase voltage drop limit and the tabulated single phase mV/A.m should be used unless more precise calculations are performed using vector methods to calculate the neutral current and then geometrically summing the voltage drops in the phase and neutral conductors.

Voltage Drop Graphs


For quick calculations, Voltage Drop Graphs are also available for cables normally available ex stock from Olex.

Section Three

VOLTAGE DROPS
Instances can arise where it is desired to make a more precise determination than would arise from the use of tabulated mV/A.m figures. The following methods can be used in these cases.

Phasor Diagram
The relationships between the various current and voltage elements in a cable circuit are shown in the following phasor diagram (lagging power factor).

where: I = Current Flowing in Cable, E = Voltage at Supply, V = Voltage at Load, Vd = E V, IZ = Voltage Drop associated with Cable Impedance, and cos = Power Factor of Load. Given values for E, I, R, X and , the magnitude of V can be determined vectorially and subtracted from E to give the difference in voltage between the supply and load ends of the circuit. As the magnitude of the permissible voltage drop is very much smaller than the supply and load voltages, the difference between E and V is approximately equal to the magnitude of IZ. The following formulae make use of this simplification. For additional information refer to AS/NZS 3008.1.2.

Circuit Impedance and Load Power Factor


In the cases where the load power factor is not known, the load power factor is assumed to be equal to the cable power factor and the voltage drop calculated in terms of the cable impedance as follows: Vd1f = 2 * I * L * Z (V/m) Single phase

Vd3f =

3 * I * L * Z (V/m) Three phase

2 where: I = Load Current (A), L = Length of Run (m), Z (Cable Impedance) = R c + X l2 (/m), Rc = Conductor Resistance (/m), and XL = Cable Inductive Reactance ((/m) at operating temperature and frequency. (XL = 0 for direct current operation) and values of Rc and XL are given in Tables 3.25 to 3.28. Where the load power factor cos is known, the relevant formulae are: Vd1f = 2 * I * L * (Rc * cos XL * sin ) (V/m)

Vd3f =

3 * I * L * (Rc * cos XL * sin ) (V/m)

In these formulae, the second term in brackets is added for lagging power factors and subtracted for leading power factors. For unity power factor, sin = 0 so the second term disappears.

Cables Operated Below Full Load


In many situations, cables are operated at loads considerably less than their full rated current. The conductor temperature in such cases will be less than the maximum figure on which the tabulated mV/A.m values are based. For a given load current, the actual conductor temperature o (C) can be calculated from the following: o
I 2 = a + (r - a) x o Ir

where Io = Actual Load Current (A), Ir = Rated Current (A), r = Rated Conductor Temperature (C), and a = Ambient Temperature (C) corresponding to rated current. The value of Rc to be used in the voltage drop calculations can then be obtained from Table 3.25 or 3.26 using the next higher value of conductor temperature. Special computer programs are commercially available to calculate voltage drop allowing for cables that are not loaded at their full rated current.

SELECTION PROCEDURES
In accordance with AS/NZS 3008.1.2:1998 and AS/NZS 3000:2000, the four main factors which affect the minimum size of cable required for a particular installation are: 1. The cable current-carrying capacity, which is influenced by the cable materials and construction, the conditions of the cable environment and the method of installation due to their effects on the dissipation of heat from the conductors. 2. The voltage drop in the cable circuit, which is a function of load current, load power factor, and length of the cable run. 3. The temperature rise under short-circuit conditions, which is a function of both the magnitude and duration of the shortcircuit current and is limited by the cable materials. 4. The maximum fault loop impedance which will still allow the protective device to trip within the specified time.

Procedures
To select the cable size required, based on the above considerations, follow the steps listed:

Current-Carrying Capacity
1. Determine the minimum current for which the cable is to be rated, taking account of the maximum demand of the circuit and the type and rating of the overcurrent protection device. 2. Ascertain how the cables are to be installed, and the conditions in the cable environment. From the tables of rating factors, select any rating factor(s) which are applicable. 3. Divide the rating from step 1. by the appropriate factor(s). 4. From the current rating tables, select a cable which, for the appropriate method of installation, has a tabulated rating not less than the value obtained from 3.

Voltage Drop
1. Determine the Load Current I (A) to be carried by the cable, and the Route Length L (m) of the circuit. 2. Establish the maximum voltage drop Vd (V) permitted in the circuit (taking account of any other voltage drops in series). 3. Evaluate the equation Vc = voltage drop. 4. From the voltage drop tables, select a cable for the appropriate method of installation which has a tabulated mV/A.m figure not greater than this value.
1000 * Vd (mV/A.m). This value is the maximum mV/A.m figure which will give the required I*L

Short Circuit Temperature


1. Determine the Maximum Duration t (s) and Magnitude Isc (A) of the prospective Short Circuit Current. 2. Evaluate the equation I1 = Isc * t (A). This is the required short circuit rating converted to a one second basis. 3. From the conductor short-circuit ratings tables, select a cable with a rating not less than the value obtained from 2.

Fault Loop Impedance


1. Determine the maximum fault loop impedance which will still allow the protective device to trip within the specified time. 2. From the above calculate the maximum length of cable run to comply with the maximum fault loop impedance. Refer to AS/NZS 3000:2000, Clause 1.7.4.3 and Appendix B.

General
For any circuit, the cable size selected should not be less than the largest of the sizes calculated to meet the above limitations (this is the smallest size which will meet all of the requirements). In practice, the current-carrying capacity will be found to prevail in short-run/high-current circuits while voltage drop considerations will usually prevail in long-run/low-current circuits. It is unusual for short-circuit temperature requirements to determine the conductor size required for 0.6/1 kV cable circuits.

VOLTAGE DROP GRAPHS


This information seeks to provide a quick means of selecting the size of cable to comply with voltage drop requirements, and is a companion to the Olex Cables 2011 Handbook. The range of graphs is intended to cover normal stock cables available from Olex Cables.

Basis of Graphs
The graphs are based on voltage drop and current rating values obtained from AS/NZS 3008.1.2: 2010. New Zealand regulations allow a maximum voltage drop of 5% from the point of supply to anywhere in the installation. The graphs have been drawn for a voltage drop of 2.5% with the standard New Zealand supply voltages. i.e. 5.75 volts for single phase 230 volt systems, or 10 volts for three phase 400 volt systems. For installations involving mains, sub-mains and circuits, larger cable sizes may be necessary than these graphs show, to keep the voltage drop in the complete installation under the maximum allowed by the regulations. The graphs are drawn to allow for the highest current with the cable installed under any of the standard installation conditions as per this section or the Olex Cables 2011 Handbook It is important to check that the cable will carry the required maximum load under the particular conditions of the actual installation proposed. In cases where the load current is significantly less than the maximum for the cable, the temperature of the conductor will be less than the maximum allowed. Hence the actual voltage drop will be lower than that shown by the graphs.

Use of the Graphs


Assuming that the load current and length of run are known. 1. 2. 3. 4. Select the graph appropriate for the cable under consideration, whether single phase or three phase, and for single core cables whether laid in trefoil or flat configuration. Locate the intersecting point on the graph for the required values of load current and length of run. For this point read the conductor size indicated for the graph line either on or above the point. Check that the required load current is within the maximum for the cable size under the intended installation conditions, using either this section, the Olex Cables 2011 Handbook or AS/NZS 3008.1.2.
