Introduction
Medium and high voltage power cable is one of the most important parts in power systems. They are exploited to
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.

RatedThe rated
Voltage of Power Cable
voltage of power cable is designated as follows.
U0/U (Um)
U0 = Phase-to-ground voltage
U = Phase-to-phase voltage (sometimes called “rated voltage”)
Um = Maximum value of the “highest system voltage” for which the equipment may be used.
Occasionally, the U0/U of the cable is different but the Um is the same. This indicates that these cables can be used on
the same system voltage which the rated voltage does not exceed Um.
Example: 12/20 (24) kV and 12.7/22 (24) kV can be used on the same system voltage that the rated voltage does not exceed 24 kV.
Below is the recommendation of IEC 60502-2 for the selection of the rated voltage of cable.
The rated voltage of the cable for a given application shall be suitble for the operating condition in system in which the cable is
used. To facilitate the selection of the cable, system are divided into three categories:
- category A : this category comprises those systems in which any phase conductor that comes in contact with earth or an
earth conductor is disconnected form the system within 1 min:
- category B : this category comprises those systems which, under fault conditions, are operated for a short time with one
phase earthed. This period, according to IEC 60183, should not exceed 1 h. For cables covered. This period,
a longer period, not exceeding 8 h. on any occasion, can be tolerated The total duration of earth faults in any
year should not exceed 125 h;
- category C : this category comprises all systems which do not fall into category A or B.
It should be realized that in a system where an earth fault is not automatically and promptly isolated, the extra stresses on the
insulation of cables during the earth fault reduce the life of the cables to a certain degree, if the system is expected to be
operated fairly often with a permanent earth fault, it may be advisable to classify the system in category C.
The values of U0 recommended for cables to be used in three-phasa systems are listed in Table 1.

Cable Construction
Medium voltage underground power cable basically consists of the following parts.

Components Detail Function


Conductor Copper or Aluminium Carry the required current.
Conductor shield or screen Semi-conducting compound Uniform electric field around
the normally unsmooth
conductor and ensure close
contact to the insulation.
Insulation Cross-linked Withstand the operating voltage
polyethylene (XLPE) including impulse voltage from
lightning.
Insulation shield or screen Semi-conducting compound Uniform electric field around
the insulation and ensure close
contact to the insulation and
prevent ionization in air space
between insulation and metallic
shield which lead to the damage
of the inslation.
Metallic shield or screen Copper wire or Copper tape or Provide ground potential and
Lead sheath electrical path for the
capacitance discharge of the
insulation.
Carry the single line to ground
fault current.
Binding tape Non-hygroscopic tape Provide smooth surface for the
oversheath.
Oversheath Polyethylene (PE) or Polyvinyl Provide environmental protection
Chloride (PVC) i.e. mechanical, chemical, thermal
and moisture to the underlying
components.

Besides the above basic construction, there are special components which added preferable property to the cables.
Components Detail Function
Filler Non-hygroscopic material Provided in the interstices of
three-core cable to maintain the
roundness of the cable for ease
of installation.
Inner covering or Separation Polyethylene (PE) or Polyvinyl Provide the protection to the
sheath Chloride (PVC) insulated core and separate the
different metal to prevent the
corrosion of metal due to
galvanic effect.
Lead sheath Lead Alloy Perfect moisture barrier. Protect
the underlying components from
oil, petrochemical and sulfides.
Armour Aluminium tape or wire Provide additional mechanical
(for single-core cable) protection to the cable. Suitable
Galvanized steel tape or wire for direct burial installation
(for three-core cable) where mechanical load is
expected.
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).

Special oversheath for low smoke/fume and zero corrosive gas


Where special safety is required in case of fire, the special oversheath which has flame retardant property but emit
low smoke/fume and no corrosive gas during combustion can be supplied. These cables shall meet the requirement of smoke
density according to IEC 61034 and zero corrosive gas according to IEC 60754.

Termite repellant and rodent repellent


Special additive which has termite and/or rodent repellent properties can be mixed to the oversheath to enable the
oversheath to be termite and/or rodent repellent cable.

Graphite or extruded semi-conductive oversheath


In order to facilitate the checking of the integrity of the oversheath after installation by using voltage test, the graphite
coating or extruded semi-conductive compound can be applied over the oversheath. The graphite and semi-conductive oversheath
shall acts as the electrode around the oversheath for the voltage test of the oversheath.

Color oversheath and UV sunlight resistance


Besides black color oversheath, the other color such as Red can be requested. For cables with colored oversheath,
the UV sunlight resistance should be request to prevent the deterioration from UV sunlight resistance. The black oversheath is
UV sunlight resistant by its own. Where applicable, our recommendation for oversheath is to be black color.
PDITL’s core competence
Phelps Dodge International (Thailand) Limited is the industry leader in manufacturing of Wire and Cables in Thailand
with experience and expertise for more than 48 years. We have a state-of-the-art factory with sophisticated production
technology and advanced machinery with capability of producing the full range of medium voltage to extra high voltage cables.

We are capable of producing extra high voltage XLPE cables up to voltage of 245 kV. Furthermore, we are the
only one in Thailand that can produce the highest size of cable going up to conductor size of 2,500 mm². Especially
manufacturing cables of conductor size 1,000 mm² and higher is a case in point. These are commonly produced with
Milliken construction with associated ability of higher current capacity as well as more flexibility as compared to traditional
round compacted conductor of the same size. Additionally the factory is fitted with specialized machinery capable of
producing two types of special sheath such as Corrugated Metal Sheath and Seamless Lead Sheath. Both types of sheat
have properties of near-perfect moisture barrier an important characteristic requirement for Power Cables as these guarantee
protection of cables in wet environment. Moreover the advantage of Lead sheath is that it can protect the cable insulation
from oil, chemicals and sulfides which makes it the preferred type for almost all petrochemical and refinery plants.

Milliken conductor, corrugated metal sheath and lead sheath need advance technology support, modern machinery
and expertise of production. Phelps Dodge International (Thailand) Limited is the one and only manufacturer in Thailand
who are capable of manufacturing Cables with these special construction, enabling us to support and provide nearly all
applications desired by the customers.

Milliken Conductor Corrugated Metal Sheath Lead Sheath


• Higher Current carrying • Protection against physical / • Protection against physical /
capacity mechanical damage mechanical damage
• Increased flexibility • High Level of Moisture barrier • Near–perfect Moisture barrier
• Protection against Oil,
Chemicals and Sulfides
Milliken Conductor
Due to the natural phenomenon of electromagnetic field generation of AC circuits, there is a tendency for more
of the current to be carried on the outside portion of the conductor rather than the center, as shown in Fig 1. This is
commonly called as “skin effect”.

To mitigate this shortcoming the Milliken conductor was developed. So today, all large conductors are constructed
from 4 to 5 sector shaped conductors assembled together to form one round conductor. Each sector shaped conductor is
lightly insulated so that this reduces the AC resistance by increasing the surface area at the edge which normally carries
most of the current. As an example the Milliken conductor can carry at least 5% more current than a round compacted
conductor of 1,000 mm². It is not economic to use this concept for smaller conductors, below 900 mm². Obviously higher
the size of conductors more are the number of sectors.

Such segmental conductors require critical manufacturing capability and PDITL is one of the few manufacturer to
possess such expertise. Another benefit from Milliken conductor is the greater flexibility of conductors compared to the round
compact conductor of the same size.

Phelps Dodge International (Thailand) Ltd. produces Milliken conductor starting from 1,000 mm² to 2,500 mm² for
both copper and aluminium conductor. Another conductor size can be designed to Milliken conductor upon request.

Milliken Conductor
Corrugated Metal Sheath
Aluminium, Copper and Stainless Steel can be used for corrugated metal sheath. The main function of all these types are to
create a perfect moisture barrier for power cables which imparts the protection of cables required for wet environment.
The metal sheath is extruded over the insulation screen which is normally covered with semi-conductive water swellable tape.
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.

Corrugated Aluminium Sheath


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

Corrugated Stainless Steel Sheath


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.
Lead Sheath
Lead is a very stable metal. Some lead water pipes have survived since Roman time. Extruded lead sheath is a perfect
moisture barrier. It also can prevent the cable insulation from oil, petrochemical and sulfides. Most petrochemical and refinery
plant prefer cable with lead sheath. The cable with lead sheath has very long life. The advantage of lead sheath also includes
its flexibility and no mechanical stress exert on the cable insulation during production.

Phelps Dodge International (Thailand) Ltd. has the capacity to manufacture cables with lead sheath starting from small
low voltage cable to extra high voltage cable.

CABLE HANDLING
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
floor should be concrete or firm enough to prevent the drum from sinking. Chocks must be used to prevent the movement of
the drum. The cable drum should be kept in a place where security and fire damage are protected during storage.

Safe Handling and Unloading of Cable Drum


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.
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
or throw from the truck since this is not only damage the drum, the cable may also be damaged. Follows the below picture.

FOR WOODEN REEL FOR STEEL REEL


CAUTION CAUTION

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
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.
Correct Method Correct Method

Correct Method Correct Method

6. Keep a man stationed near the drum with a plank wedged against the flange so that overrunning of the drum could
be prevented if rolling stops.
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.
Installation
1. Follows the National Code of Installation.
2. The following is a guideline for the maximum pulling tension to be used.
Pulling at Conductor (Pulling Eyes) - The maximum pulling tension is calculated from the following formula
Maximum Allowable Conductor Stress (S)
Cable Type Material Temper N/mm²
All Copper Soft 70
Power Aluminum Hard 50

Maximum Allowable Pulling Tension = S x n x A


S = Maximum allowable conductor stress , kg/mm²
n = Number of conductors
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
conductor
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.

6. The bending radius (R) during pulling of the cable should not exceed the following value.

Medium Voltage Cable ( ≤ 33kV) with and without Armour


Type of Cable Installation Bending Radius as a Multiple of Cable Diameter
Cable placed into position adjacent to
joint or termination with former
