Introduction Cable Construction
Medium and high voltage power cable is one of the most important parts in power systems. They are exploited to Medium voltage underground power cable basically consists of the following parts.
distribute electrical energy between power plants, substations, factories and residential area. The premier quality and reliability
of the cables are necessary in order to prevent the outage of electricity supply occurring from the failure of the cable.
Phelps Dodge International (Thailand) Ltd. is the leader in medium and high voltage power cable, with the experiences
in manufacturing cables more than 40 years. We have state of the art facilities that can produce the high voltage underground
cable with the rated voltage up to 245 kV. The cables have been vigilantly designed to exceed international standards such as
IEC, ICEA, UL, DIN, VDE, AS/NZS, TIS, IS and other standards specified by customers. Materials used for manufacturing cables
have been thoroughly selected with stringent quality control system so as to ensure the high quality of the cable.
One important part of high voltage power cable is its insulation. In order to isolate the conductor from ground and other
conductors, materials with the best electrical and physical properties must be chosen. Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), since
its development in 1950s, became the material of choice for insulating power cable, because of its superior electrical property,
low dielectric loss angle and ease of installation and maintenance when comparing to conventional oil-filled cable and impregnated
paper insulated cable.

Special Function
In addition to the above cable construction, customer can request the special functions to provide superior protection and
ensure the long life of the cables.
Waterblocking property for conductor and/or shield

The waterblocking for conductor and/or metallic shield has advantage for reducing the length of water penetration
along the cable when it is exposed to water. This limits the damage of the cable to be changed or repaired. The waterblocking
property for conductor and metallic shield is achieved by adding water swellable material inside the conductor and under/over
the metallic shield respectively.
Special oversheath for flame retardant

In case of installing the cable where flame retardant property is required, cables with special oversheath such as
flame retardant polyvinyl chloride (FRPVC) can be supplied. These cables can be designed to meet international standard such
as IEC 60332-3-24 (Category C) or IEC 60332-3-22 (Category A).

We are capable of producing extra high voltage XLPE cables up to voltage of 245 kV. Furthermore, we are the To mitigate this shortcoming the Milliken conductor was developed. So today, all large conductors are constructed

Milliken conductor, corrugated metal sheath and lead sheath need advance technology support, modern machinery

its flexibility and no mechanical stress exert on the cable insulation during production.
The metal sheath is seam welded by using TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding technique and the integrity of the weld is ensured by
using eddy current detection equipment. Corrugation of course helps to reduce any rigidity of sheathing and will increase flexibility. Phelps Dodge International (Thailand) Ltd. has the capacity to manufacture cables with lead sheath starting from small
Corrugated Aluminium Sheath low voltage cable to extra high voltage cable.
Cables with corrugated aluminium sheath have high fault current carrying capability due to the high electrical conductivity of
Aluminium. This results in reduction of the external magnetic field and induced voltage. Good mechanical protection is also
achieved from Aluminium sheath due to its rigidity. The bitumen coating or bituminized tape over the Aluminium can be
requested to increase the corrosion resistance.
Corrugated Aluminium Sheath
Corrugated Copper Sheath

Most of the advantages of the corrugated copper sheath are the same as Aluminium sheath. Moreover it has high conductivity
and good mechanical protection even though the thickness is thinner than Aluminium sheath. The copper sheath is also good
for electrical connectivity for bonding and grounding.
Corrugated Copper Sheath Characteristic of lead sheath

Strong protection against external/environmental factors
Corrugated Stainless Steel Sheath Preferred construction for petrochemical industries and
refineries
The corrugated stainless steel sheath are mostly used for cables which require very good corrosion resistance and low loss.
Due to high resistance of stainless steel, it has low eddy current loss on it when operated while very good mechanical
protection and corrosion resistance can be achieved. Normally, the copper wire shield will be provided under the corrugated
stainless steel sheath to act as shield and ground conductor. This type of sheath is mainly used in chemical plants in Japan
and Australia.

CABLE HANDLING Installation
1. Follows the National Code of Installation.
2. The following is a guideline for the maximum pulling tension to be used.
Storage
Cable should be stored in a dry place with roof in order to prevent the premature rotten of the wooden drum or lagging. The
Pulling at Conductor (Pulling Eyes) - The maximum pulling tension is calculated from the following formula
floor should be concrete or firm enough to prevent the drum from sinking. Chocks must be used to prevent the movement of Maximum Allowable Conductor Stress (S)
the drum. The cable drum should be kept in a place where security and fire damage are protected during storage. Cable Type Material Temper N/mm²
All Copper Soft 70
Power Aluminum Hard 50
Safe Handling and Unloading of Cable Drum Maximum Allowable Pulling Tension = S x n x A
1. As received at stores or site, check the cable drums for any physical damages to the drum and outer wooden
laggings. Also check that the cable end cover are proper and in position. S = Maximum allowable conductor stress , kg/mm²
2. Loading/unloading of the drum to or from truck should be done by crane or use of a ramp. Do not drop the drum n = Number of conductors
or throw from the truck since this is not only damage the drum, the cable may also be damaged. Follows the below picture. A = Nominal cross-sectional area of conductor , mm²
Cable Grip over Outer Sheath - The maximum pulling tension is 4400 N but in no case shall not be more than pulling at
FOR WOODEN REEL FOR STEEL REEL conductor
CAUTION CAUTION 3. If the pulling tension is likely to be close to the maximum pulling tension (in rage of 10%), the tension metering
device is recommended.
4. Do not start and stop pull, pull and constant low speed.
5. Do not lay the cable with sharp bend, twisting or kinking. Care must be taken since this will harm the cable.
3. Flanges shall be kept always in up-right position during storage and handling and paying off or during transportation
of drum. Use pair of jacks with stand and shaft for mounting cable drums before paying off. Spindles of adequate size will be 6. The bending radius (R) during pulling of the cable should not exceed the following value.
selected depending on the weight and size of the cable drum.
4. After removal of the drum lagging, a thorough physical inspection of the cable shall be carried out.
5. Roll the drum only in the direction of painted arrow on the drum flanges and only for short distances.

6. Keep a man stationed near the drum with a plank wedged against the flange so that overrunning of the drum could Single-core Armoured 12
be prevented if rolling stops.
Three-core Unarmoured 12
Three-core Armoured 10
7. Cable end shall be taken out from the top side of the mounted drum of cable, and never from the bottom side.
8. Do not lay the damaged cables before repair and testing.
