General Information
Selecting A Power Cable

he following factors are important when selecting a suitable cable construction which is required
to transport electrical
energy from the power station to the consumer :
o Maximum operating voltage.
o lnsulation level.
o Frequency.
o Load to be carried.
r Magnitude and duration of possible overload.
o Magnitude and duration of short-circuit current.
o Voltage drop.
o Length of line.
o Mode of installation.
- Underground (direct or in ducts).
- ln air.
o Chemical and physical properties of soil.
o Max. and min. ambient air temperatures and soil temperature'
o Specification and requirements to be met.

o voltage of a cable is denoted by Uo/U (Um),

wnere
Uo : is the rated power-frequency voltage between conductor and earth or metallic screen.
U : is the rated power-frequency voltage between conduitors.
Um : isthe maximum continuously permissible operating voltage of a cable at time or in
any part of the network.

The cables describedin this catalogue are all standard types, and their performance has been proved in operation.
Construction and tests are in accordance with the recommendation of IEC publications where applicable.
power cables in accordance to other standard (e.g. BS, VDE, NEMA) can be manufactured upon customer's request.

Weight and dimension characteristics are approximate.

The deviations are due to manufacturing tolerance.

Standard embossed outer lacket Marking consisting of :

1- Name of manufacturer. "Egytech Cables (El Sewedy)"
2-Type designation, size of conductor, rated voltage.
3- Continous length marking every meter.
4- Year of manufacture.
5- Any special part no. on request.
