Design Criteria

A power cable is an assembly of one or more electrical conductors, usually held together with an overall sheath.
The assembly is used for transmission of electrical power. Power cables may be installed as
permanent wiring within buildings, buried in the ground, run overhead, or exposed.

Flexible power cables are used for portable devices, mobile tools and machinery.

CONDUCTOR:

Is an object or type of material that permits the ow of electrical current in one or more directions.
Conductor materials are:
• Plain annealed or tin coated copper conductor (to BS EN 1977, ASTM B3, ASTM B49 &ASTM B 33)

• Aluminum (to ASTM B233)

The conductor structure is complying with the requirements of IEC 60228 Calss 1 , 2 and 5; Solid, Stranded, non
compacted, compacted or compacted sector shaped conductors and Flexible.

INSULATION:

The insulating materials used include:


• Polyvinylchloride (PVC): (PVC/A 70 oC) complying with IEC 60502-1 requirements or Types (TI1 70 oC) &
Heat Resistant PVC type TI-3 (90 oC to 105 oC) complying with BS EN 50363-3.

• Halogen-Free, Flame Retardant compound (HFFR).

SCREEN DESIGNS:

The standard range of QICC Medium Voltage XLPE cables rated up to and including 33 kV incorporates copper
wire screens based on fault levels of either 3 kA or 10 kA for 1 second. If either of the standard screen designs does
not suit a particular installation, the screen constructions can be tailored in size to meet the specic fault
requirements of any operating system.

WIRE SCREEN CROSS SECTIONAL AREAS:

In the case of three core cables which have screens around each individual core, the total screen cross sectional
area is spread evenly over the three cores.
There are several other factors which can override the above criteria.
Firstly, the screens are designed so that the average gap between the wires does not exceed 4 mm. This result in
the screen area being increased above that required for the required fault level in certain cases. Secondly, the
screen area is limited to a value so that its fault rating does not exceed that of the conductor. In some cases, the
smaller cables in a range have fault levels of less than either 3 kA or 10 kA for 1 second respectively.

CABLE ASSEMBLY:

The Insulated cores are assembled together to form the laid up cable cores in case of multi core cables.
Extruded suitable polymer compound or non-hygroscopic polypropylene ller is applied (when required) between
laid up cores to provide a circular shape to the cable.

JACKETINGS:

There are 3 different types of extruded sheaths:


• Outer sheath
It provides protection of the cable from outside.
• Inner sheath
It applies under a metallic protection and - optional - under a lead sheath.
• Bedding
It separate the sheath applied between a lead sheath and a metallic protection (may also consists of plastic
tapes).

The following materials can be used for the sheath:

Polyvinylchloride (PVC) Type ST2 compounds as specied in IEC 60502-1, or its equivalent PVC Type 9
to BS 7655-4.2.

Polyethylene (PE) compound fulll and exceed the requirements of Type ST7 IEC 60502-1 for cables that

LTS 4 to BS 7655: section 6 for cables installed in intrinsically safe locations and where the cables require
being low smoke, low fume and low toxic gas emitting in case of re. Cables to this category are complying
with the requirements of BS 6724.

All cables produced at QICC – a Nexans Company with PVC or HFFR jackets are complying with the ame
retardant test to IEC 60332-1 and Ultra-violet (UV) resistant Master batch.

Current Rating Assumptions for LV Cables

THE ELECTRIC CURRENT: is a ow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by
moving electrons in a wire. It can also be carried by ions in an electrolyte, or by both ions and electrons such as in
a plasma.

The calculation of the current ratings, Current rating equations(100% load factor) and calculation of losses
are based on IEC 60287 series , and the values of Current ratings for underground applications (In Duct or
Direct Buried) are derived from the latest issue of ERA Report ‘Current Rating Standards 69.30 Part V’.

And the values of current ratings are veried with the tabulated value in IEC 60364-5-52 for LV cables, and IEC
60502-2 for MV cables.

The Current Carry Capacity calculated based on one circuit installed thermally isolated from other circuits or any
other heat source.

Ambient Air Temperature : 30 °C

Ambient Ground Temperature : 20°C

Depth of laying in ground : 0.70 m

Soil Thermal Resistivity :2.5 °K.m/W

For other installation conditions or any value of differant air / ground temperature, depth of lay or soil thermal
resistivity you can use the tabulated current rating by the de-rating factor values as in tables 1 to 8.

Short Circuit Rating – Conductors

The permissible short-circuit currents as presented in gures 1 to 6 are calculated in accordance with IEC
60724:2008.

The calculation method neglects heat loss and is accurate enough for the majority of practical cases. Any error is on
the safe side. However, caution should be exercised when using large size conductors and an installation radius less
than 8 x cable diameter where high deforming forces may occur.

Where such conditions cannot be avoided, it is recommended to reduce the short circuit rating by 15% or contact
SCC technical department.

The following formulae have been derived from 60724:2008

Figure 1:

Ik = (0.155 / √ t) x S

Figure 2:

Ik = (0.1038 / √ t) x S

Figure 3:

Ik = (0.075 / √ t) x S

Figure 4:

Ik = (0.068 / √ t) x S

Figure 5:

Ik = (0.143 / √ t) x S

Figure 6:

Ik = (0.0937 / √ t) x S

I : Short-circuit current (kA)


k : Duration of short-circuit current t (sec.)
S : Cross-sectional area of conductor (mm2)

CABLE DRUM HANDLING AND MOVEMENT:

Introduction:

Electrical and Fibre Optic cable will be supplied on wooden drums unless the total cable weight exceeds 10 tonnes, in which
case steel drums are supplied. Both types of drums are treated to give protection against premature deterioration of
component parts.
The cable drum is given extra mechanical strength by the provision of wooden cleats (or slats or battens) xed between
drum ange edges which give additional protection to the cable against accidental damage.
Drum anges are marked to provide vital information to assist with the handling of the drums and the installation of the
cable. This information includes drum weight, a mark on the ange indicating the end of the cable, and an arrow indicating
the direction the drum is to be rolled during rolling or transportation.

The rolling of the drum in the direction of the arrow ensures that there is no tendency for the cable to loosen its wind on the
drum. It should be noted that when pulling the cable off the drum and installing the cable, the arrow will point in the opposite
direction to the rotation of the drum.

The movement of cable drums by motorised forklift truck is the preferred method. Most drums of cable are within a weight
range that permits their movement by this method.
In general, the forklift truck method of drum handling is only applicable where a hard and level ground surface is available.
This is required in the intended storage area. In this case a forklift capable of lifting about 12 tonnes will be required
(maximum drum weight plus contingency). It is also necessary to ensure that the forklift truck tines are capable of
traversing the width of the drum and provide support to both anges.
For the smaller drums, tines of 1200 mm length will be satisfactory. The larger drums will require tines of 1800 mm length.
For the larger drums, for example containing 33 kV or 132 kV cables or long lengths of cable, it will be necessary to have
tines at least 2500 mm so that the cable drums are adequately supported by both drum anges.

Some drums may be of sufcient length and weight to require cranes to load and unload from transport vehicles. In this
case, it will be necessary to ensure that a spreader bar of sufcient length is used to ensure the lifting chains do not
compress the drum anges.

During the transportation, cable drums must be securely restrained to prevent their movement and possibility of serious
mishap in which the cable could be damage beyond repair.

When forklift or crane is not available, a makeshift ramp with approximate inclination of 1:4 should be constructed. The
cable drum should then be rolled over this ramp by means of ropes or winches. Additionally, a sand bed at the foot of the
ramp can be build to brake the rolling cable drum.

Drum Handling in Truck:

When the drums are loaded on trucks, binding must be made with ropes crossing through the central hole and if necessary
on the drum anges.

A special chocking system is required when transporting drums with lorry or trucks. Rafters are fastened to the vehicle bed
before positioning the drums.

DRUM AND CABLE INSPECTION:

Inspection
Cable and drum should be inspected when received at the storage area.

Cable and drum should also be inspected before removal from the storage area.

Both wooden and steel cable drums should be inspected to ensure that the drum cleats (or slats or battens) are not
damaged.

If any damage has occurred in transit the cleats should be carefully removed to verify if any damage has occurred to the
cable. Normally the outer layer of cable on the drum has adequate space between it and the inside of the drum cleats to
prevent cable damage.

Additionally, inspection must include an assessment of the state of the drum due to transport vibration and movement,
weathering or environmental damage.

In changeable dry and wet weather, or consistently dry and hot weather (near or above 30oC), the wooden section of the
drum shrinks and the whole drum could become unstable and cause damage to the cable when the drum is moved.

Therefore, the transverse bolts must be tightened with a torque wrench before the drums are moved otherwise the drums
could collapse during this operation. To ensure they are “tight” these bolts must also be re-tightened during cable
installation. The force (torque) shall be as follows:

Drum size 700–1400 mm = force 80 Nm


Drum size 1600–2200 mm = force 100 Nm
Drum size 2500–2800 mm = force 120 Nm

All drawings, designs, specications, plans and particulars of weights, size and dimensions contained in the technical or commercial documentation of
Nexans is indicative only and shall not be binding on Nexans or be treated as constituting a representation on the part of Nexans.
The corrective action is to identify the 4 (or more) bolts extending from one ange to the other with hexagonal nuts at each
end. These nuts must be tightened before any unstable drum is moved.

The design of wooden drums for heavy power cable includes a metal spindle assembly to provide added strength at the
spindle hole. So, where tted, the 4 (or more) bolts holding the steel plate at the spindle hole are to be tightened or the drum
will not turn smoothly on the shaft or spindles during cable installation.

This procedure is to be adhered to in all installation projects before wooden drums are handled since the effects of vibration,
movement, the climate and duration of exposure to the environment can be extensive.

Note that timbers of the drum anges and barrels that have shrunk are likely to have loose nails as well as the bolts, but
loose nails are harder to correct. It will be necessary to apply caution and vigilance during the cable unwinding to identify
and reduce the damage to the cable produced by the loose nails.

If the cable ends are accessible, it is possible to inspect the presence and condition of the end caps. The end cap is
designed to prevent the ingress of moisture into the end of the cable. Any damage, holes or cracks, in the end cap must be
identied and the end cap replaced so to avoid any moisture or water from entering the cable either due to further storage
time or during installation.

If the end cap is absent, although the cable ends may have been sealed by a mastic or adhesive applied on the cable end
by the supplier, but if no end sealing is seen, a heat shrink cap should be applied ensuring a tight seal to the cable outer
layer.

It is also implied that, if the end cap or sealing is absent from the outer end of the cable (the end from which the cable would
normally be pulled), then the cable end must be examined and assessed.

The following is recommended, so if the cap or sealing has been absent for a long time (more than one month); or the cable
end faces up toward the sky; or the end cap has been absent during periods of rain; or any form of cable end deterioration /
ageing / swelling / or soiling is observed, then the cable end should be cut back 300 mm and re-examined for presence of
moisture and cut back further when moisture is found, and a new end cap must be applied to the cable end, ensuring a tight
seal to the cable outer layer.

Warning

When any damage to the drum cleats (or slats or battens), or slackening of the cable layers has occurred, or drums moved
when unstable, then cable damage is possible and it is necessary to contact the nearest Nexans representative to assess
the situation and advise of an appropriate solution.

LONG TERM CABLE STORAGE:


(more than 3 or 4 months)

The instructions below are directed to assist in the case of any of the following:

Drums and the timber used in drums deteriorates with time and weather
Cable end caps deteriorate with time and weather
Exposed cable surfaces can deteriorate or colours fade
Cable can be damaged by the environment
Cable may be damaged during movements or transport

Drum Storage

Drums should be stored on a level and rm surface (e.g. timber baulks, rm gravel, or concrete), on the ange
edges (not with the ange at on the ground), such that they will not be standing in water or in continually damp
conditions, and restricted from rolling.

Failure to provide these conditions is likely to result in timber rot and weakening of the ange with potential breaks
of the ange or collapse of the drum to the point where the cable itself will rest on the ground. Any of these
outcomes will make installation of the cable more problematic or impossible.

Wedges must be used to retain drums. Wedges must be positioned at ange edges and not between anges. The
use of stones are not recommended.

6/3/15 - http://www.nexans.qa Page 47 / 146


All drawings, designs, specications, plans and particulars of weights, size and dimensions contained in the technical or commercial documentation of
Nexans is indicative only and shall not be binding on Nexans or be treated as constituting a representation on the part of Nexans.
Wooden cable drums can be stored in the open for a period of at least 18 months.
Rate of deterioration and ageing is dependent on the environmental conditions and seasons, so inspection and
maintenance of the drum will be required during the storage period.
The interval between inspections is a maximum of 12 months in frequently wet weather conditions and reduced to
6 months in tropical environments where wet or humid conditions are concurrent with high temperatures and also
when the drums are stored in very dry and very hot (near and above 35°C) environments.
Maintenance involves the tightening of the transverse bolts (ange to ange, also known as “barrel bolts”). At the
same time, the bolts holding the steel plate at the spindle hole are to be tightened. These actions are to prevent the
collapse of the drum during movement and during cable installation.
If cable drums are required to be stored for periods longer than two years it is recommended that they are stored in
an enclosed area sheltered from the environment. If considered necessary, the cable could be rewound on to steel
cable drums (if not already supplied). The rewinding process can be organised by contacting the nearest Nexans
representative.
Normally, the drum dimensions are so chosen that the cable wound onto drums almost lls the space between the
anges up to their outer edge. In these cases, the cable assists in the stability of the drum anges and their
respective positioning, but the heavy weight of the cable may induce the ange to bend if left unmoved.
On occasions, the purchased length does not ll the drum and sometimes drums are stored after installation of part
of the length, so the drum contains a portion of the total length of cable (ie only the spare length is stored). In these
cases, the ange extends well beyond the supporting cable and is more likely to are or bend under the weight of
the cable, when left in the one position over time.
Therefore, in either case of the full drum or the partially empty drum, any sign of ange distortion is indicative that it
is necessary to occasionally turn these drums some amount (example a 90° rotation in the direction indicated by the
arrow painted on the ange) so that a “new” part of the ange is employed to support the cable weight. Failure to do
this could result in a ange distortion that will make it difcult to wind the cable off the drum and may result in
damage to the cable.
Arresting or slowing the rate of deterioration for any drum, but particularly for those drums most affected, can only
be done by storage in a covered dry area.

Cable Storage

Cables are supplied with end cap sealing to prevent ingress of moisture or water. Cable drums should be handled
such that damage to the cable sheath or to sealing caps does not occur as this would subsequently permit the
ingress of moisture.

If the cable is used progressively (partial length is cut off and used) the exposed end must be immediately sealed
with a new end cap. Heat shrinkable end caps are recommended for this purpose for installation as follows:

The cable end to be sealed must be cut at right angles and at so that the cores do not protrude from the
sheath. To t the end cap, position the cable end so that it is facing vertically upwards.

Some hard plastic sheathing materials are quite smooth and slippery. These materials may not adhere to
the end cap and may not adhere even if mastic lined end caps are used.
To enable adhesion to take place, such sheath materials must be abraded with coarse sand paper before
shrinking the end cap over the cable surface.
Place the end cap over the cable end and gently apply heat using a propane ame. Heat should be applied
evenly over the whole surface of the end cap, by smooth movements of the ame (Only a small ame is
necessary), but starting at the very end of the cable and shrinking the cap sleeve away from the cable end.
Allow the cable end to cool and then check that the end cap has rmly gripped the cable end and that a
satisfactory seal has been achieved. Electricians' PVC tape is then wrapped around the junction of the end
cap and the cable sheath to reinforce the seal.
Cables with coloured outer sheaths should not be stored in direct sunlight to prevent fading of the colour. Cables
should be protected against direct sun light with suitable protection package such as black plastic sheeting, lagging
etc…

CABLE INSTALLATION
Preparation for Cable Installation
Route preparation
The cable route needs to be prepared and inspected to ensure a proper installation can take place without
obstructions, protrusions, or debris in the way of the cable during a pull.
Cable ducting, if used, should also be checked to ensure they are clear and will not cause a jamming or scraping of
the cable sheath. In the case of very long duct runs, they may only be able to be checked using special camera
systems to verify the integrity of ducts, duct joins are not misaligned, and the ducts are clean.

Drum and cable preparation


If the external temperature is below 5° C, you should postpone cable pulling. If installation of cables is necessary, it
is imperative to store them, before unreeling, in warmed room above +10° C for at least 24 hours. Unreeling has to
be done within 2 hours using a slow and regular speed (around 20m/minute) without shock.

A drum and cable inspection must be performed and appropriate actions taken, before taking any cable off the
drum.
Therefore, when removing drum cleats (or slats or battens), care should be taken that the cable sheath is not
accidentally damaged. Any lever or device being used must NOT make any contact with the cable. For example a
removed cleat should not be used to prise off other cleats as the end of the cleat bearing on the cable could cause
damage to the sheath. (This method of cleat removal is a reported cause for sheath damage).
The design of wooden drums for heavy power cable includes a metal spindle assembly to provide added strength at
the spindle hole.

Prior to winding off the cable, reference should be made to the information on the ange and the spindle hole
diameter measured, so that the drum can be positioned correctly using a suitable axle or spindle in an appropriate
handling device. Suitable axle” means of a diameter preferably within 5 mm of the spindle hole, but not more than
10 mm difference. Greater difference in the diameter of the shafts will cause damage to the spindle hole and steel
sleeve.
It is also necessary to check that the cable does come off the drum cleanly and smoothly.
It has been found that some cables with sheath materials that are affected by warmer ambient temperatures (near
or above 30°C, which means that actual cable surface temperature will be higher than ambient temperature) or that
are affected by the tension with which they are wound onto the drum, may tend to exhibit some adhesion between
the layers and turns of the cable. This adhesion, if strong enough, may cause the cable to resist the unwinding and
interfere with the installation. Remedial action is to ensure that the turns are pulled off by hand or equipment, to
ensure a smooth installation pull.
Rotation of drum and drum brake
It should be noted that when pulling the cable off the drum, the arrow (painted on the ange of the drum) will point in
the opposite direction to the rotation of the drum. This is an expected practice.

A brake or other means of preventing unnecessary rotation of the drum is required. The lack of a brake will result in
extra rotation of the drum and surplus cable being forced off the drum. This presents a safety risk for any adjacent
operators and is likely to cause unacceptable damage to the cable.
The aim is to have the drum rotating only when cable is intentionally being pulled off. Excessive braking is not
necessary and may cause cable damage or make the pull unnecessarily difcult or induce too much tension in the
cable.
Pulling strength based on conductor types should be as follows:

5 daN/mm² of cross section for copper conductors


3 daN/mm² of cross section for aluminium conductors

During unreeling, drum rotational velocity and cable pulling velocity should be even, and should not exceed 20
metre/minute.

Cable end caps and pulling eyes


Cable ends will be protected by end caps or by pulling eyes. For longer lengths of cable (perhaps over 800 m) or for
large conductor sizes (over 630 mm2), Nexans recommends the use of pulling eyes xed to the main conductors of
the cable. Pulling long and heavy cables by pulling socks can lead to cable or sheath damage.

All drawings, designs, specications, plans and particulars of weights, size and dimensions contained in the technical or commercial documentation of
Nexans is indicative only and shall not be binding on Nexans or be treated as constituting a representation on the part of Nexans.
The end caps and pulling eyes prevent moisture from entering the end of the cable and it is necessary to inspect
the condition of the end cap or pulling eye when accessing the cable ends before the installation.

Any damage, holes or cracks, in the end cap must be identied and the end cap replaced before installation is
started, so to avoid any moisture or water from entering the cable during the installation.

Any damage, holes or cracks, in the heat shrink sleeve of a pulling eye must be identied and the heat shrink
replaced before installation is started, so to avoid any moisture or water from entering the cable during the
installation.

End caps and pulling eyes must also be inspected after the installation to identify if end cap or sealing has been
broken during installation, so that repair or corrective actions can be taken.

Checking and sealing the ends after installation is important even if the cable end is to remain unconnected for just
a short time (3 hours). Ends that are to remain exposed or buried must be sealed against the possibility of ingress
by water.

Maintaining the tightness of timber drums

Timber drums may be transported long distances or moved many times in storage, which can cause a loosening of
the bolts that hold the cable drum rm and functional. It is therefore appropriate to check and tighten bolts whenever
it appears that the bolts or nuts are loose.

This particularly applies in the case of an aged timber drum, when the bolts may have to be tightened before
moving the drum for installation and it may be necessary to re-tighten the bolts after a few turns of the drum as
cable is pulled off. This applies to both the bolts across the drum (ange to ange) and also the bolts holding the
steel spindle plate.
To further explain, the effectiveness of the bolt tightening normally recommended before drum movement or
transport, is dependent on the relative positioning of the timbers of the drum, since these timbers have moved and
aged in a stationary position. Once the cable drum is turned during installation, the weight of the cable moving
inside the drum will re-position some of the timbers which will move to relative positions where the compression by
the bolts is reduced. This will result is a loosening of the bolts and they require to be re-tightened.

It is also advised that re-checking the nuts on these bolts be done at stops during the pull and any signs of
loosening is indicative that further re-tightening is appropriate.

One effect of loose barrel bolts is that the tension on the cable during installation may be sufcient for the cable end
being pulled to force its way between other cable turns on the drum or between cable and the drum ange. Trying to
pry that embedded cable out can become difcult and may result in damage to the cable.

Note that timbers of the drum anges and barrels that have shrunk are also likely to have loose nails as well as the
bolts, but loose nails are harder to correct. It will be necessary to apply caution and vigilance during the cable
unwinding to identify and reduce the damage to the cable produced by the loose nails.

Loose nails in the ange can be pulled tight from the outside surface and clinched / bent hard against the ange so
they no longer will protrude on the inside of the drum.

Cable Make or Cable Creepage:

During installation, it is expected that the inner end of the cable will extend because of the rotating direction of the
drum. It occurs less, or not at all, with steel drums and is normally a small extension with timber drums. This
extension is sometimes called “Cable-Make” or “Cable Creepage”.
The inside end of the cable has a tendency to creep through the hole in the ange when the drum is revolved in the
opposite direction to that originally employed when winding the cable onto it. This tendency cannot be prevented.
The amount of creepage depends on the length of the cable on the drum, the size of the cable and the number of
times the drum is revolved. The accumulated slack due to unwinding long lengths of cable may amount to several
metres. It can become extensive when the timber drums bolts have loosened or the timber has aged and shrinkage
has taken place.

Cable-Make or Cable Creepage is sometimes alleviated by pulling the cable off the drum from the bottom rather
than the top of the drum and so the reeling is in the same direction of the arrow painted on the ange of the drum. In
this case, it may occur that the cable inner end, intentionally left out for testing, will in fact withdraw into the drum
and will be “lost” unless it is xed rmly to the drum ange. If the end is allowed to move inside the drum, it is
possible that the friction and tight space will exert pressure on any cable end cap and cause it to be pulled off.

Note that to enable a pull to be moved from a top to a bottom feed, it is necessary to stop the pulling process,
relieve the cable tension, and lift the cable drum off the stand, rotate the drum 180° on the vertical axis, and re-
position in the stand, while ensuring that the cable end being pulled is not damaged. Not impossible, but care and a
risk assessment is required.

To avoid creepage and sinuous shape on the barrel of the drum during paying off, the inner end of the cable on the
drum ange should be free, not xed to the drum.

Cable Installation

Installation of the cable must be performed within these guidelines:

6/3/15 - http://www.nexans.qa Page 52 / 146


All drawings, designs, specications, plans and particulars of weights, size and dimensions contained in the technical or commercial documentation of
Nexans is indicative only and shall not be binding on Nexans or be treated as constituting a representation on the part of Nexans.
Maximum pulling tension.

The cable must not be pulled with a tension above the maximum pulling tension.
It is recommended that a load cell is in-line with the cable to measure the tension. Calculations should be
done before the pull to ensure an appropriate number of cable-pullers and cable-pushers are used to keep
cable tension below the maximum value and the load cell is monitored to ensure the maximum tension is
not exceeded. Many installers will have recording devices so that the digital output from the load cell is
stored and proof can be presented that each cable pull was performed below maximum tension.
For long circuits, where long lengths or heavy cables are used, pulling tension calculations should be
performed for each cable section. Pulling methodology should be prepared clearly detailing the drum
position, position of winches or caterpushers, and the number and type of rollers to be employed. For direct
buried installations, rollers should be used at 3-4 metre intervals, with more frequent rollers at bends.

To reduce the pulling tension, the installer may use lubricating liquids specically formulated for cable
pulling. Signicant reductions in tension can occur by the use of lubricants.

Minimum bending radius (during installation)

The cable must not be subjected to a bend smaller than the minimum bending radius (given as the
“minimum bending radius during installation” and not to be confused with the “minimum bending radius after
installation”)
Ducting at cable bends must be selected so the curvature is not below the minimum bending radius during
installation. When using rollers at cable changes in direction, it is recommended a number of rollers are
used forming a radius that is larger than the minimum bending radius.

6/3/15 - http://www.nexans.qa Page 53 / 146


All drawings, designs, specications, plans and particulars of weights, size and dimensions contained in the technical or commercial documentation of
Nexans is indicative only and shall not be binding on Nexans or be treated as constituting a representation on the part of Nexans.
Special care needs to be taken at duct entry points, where sharp bending of the cable can take place, when
a bend is close to the duct entry. It is necessary that supports are used so that the cable is directed into the
duct in parallel to the duct direction and that any bending radius is greater than the minimum bending radius
during installation.
An alternative is the use of bell mouth entries at the duct ends to guide the cable into the duct and reduce
the possibility of cable sheath damage.
The aim is to have the cable guided so that the duct edge does not scrape, catch, tear, or wrinkle the outer
cable layer. While this care is necessary for all cables, we particularly advise installers that damage is more
likely with softer cable sheathing materials (such as the range of PVC materials) and is more likely for
installations performed when ambient temperatures are near or above 30°C.

Sidewall bearing pressure


The cable must not be subjected to lateral pressure that exceeds the sidewall bearing pressure.
Calculations must be done prior to installation to determine the likely sidewall pressure on the cable at the
bends in the route. Bends may occur within ducts and the duct acts as a good support for the cable.
However, bends can also occur at rollers or deection points and these must also be evaluated to ensure
the maximum sidewall bearing pressure is not exceeded.
Excessive pressure may result in the outer layer on the cable being torn and pulled off. If this takes place, it
is a common effect that the tear will continue during the cable pull and the torn sheath will accumulate at
one point within the bend and create an increase in cable pulling tension.

Deformation of the sheath

A combination or action of any of the above three items, even without exceeding any of the manufacturers
recommendations, can result in the elongation of outer layer of the cable and form a “rucking” or
“corrugation” of the cable sheath during installation.
Deformation of the sheath during installation is known to occur when the sheath material is softened by
elevated temperatures, such as the range of PVC sheathing materials, particularly when the cable is
installed in warmer ambient temperatures (near and above 30°C). Note that actual cable surface
temperature can be higher than ambient temperature.
It is also known to occur when the outer layer is thinner than a full sheath, such as may occur when
installing a Nylon covered cable, which is covered by a thin Sacricial Sheath.
Such deformation should be monitored to avoid an escalation to very severe puckering, which could induce
the tearing of the sheath. Rucking, corrugation, and puckering can be reduced by the use of lubricating
substances which will reduce the friction experienced at turns or bends on xed deectors and on rollers
and even on long straight sections.
Note that longer runs and heavier cables will experience this deformation more often.
Corrective action includes the pausing of the installation pull and the easing of tension and pulling the
affected cable length past the bend or roller or friction point that is causing the effect.
Once the affected area is moved along, there is often a re-settling of the elongated sheath and the effect is
reduced. Stopping and allowing the cable to cool, will tend to set the corrugations in place and they will not
easily be removed.
Where this deformation takes place, there is a small reduction of the thickness where the material is
stretched, but such deformation as a whole is considered to be of minor consequence.
Usually, no repair or corrective action is required on the cable itself.
Repair is only necessary when there is a breaking or tearing of the sheath.

Thermal backll

When special thermal backll is required, it is important that the installer to be fully informed of the
arrangement planned. There will be a dened minimum thickness of backll below the cable and a minimum
thickness above the cable, as well as a width of trench that must be lled with backll material.
In order for the cables to avoid overheating during operation, it is important that the minimum thicknesses of
backll are maintained along the complete route of the cable.
Also, the backll material must not be mixed with native soil or other available materials as they are not
likely to have the same thermal properties as the backll materials selected.

Failure to comply with minimum thickness or failure to ensure that only clean backll material is used will
result in the cable overheating during operation.
A cable failure is not likely in the short term, but eventually the excessive heat will cause a breakdown of the
cable insulation. It is likely that a cable repair will be expensive and difcult to perform and the loss of
supply could incur very high costs for the operation of the plant.

Free movement of the drum

It is also necessary to check that the cable does come off the drum cleanly and smoothly.
Sufcient tension is required to ensure the cable comes off the drum and moves in the direction of the pull
without a bend that is smaller than the bending radius of the cable.
Obstructions, protrusions, and equipment frames should not interfere with the path of the cable and the
installer must ensure the cable is not damaged.

Summary
The installer must take precautions to ensure the cable is installed correctly and without damage. The
above specic points must be observed, but additional observation and care may be needed by the installer
to ensure a successful installation.

HOW TO MANAGE DRUM AND CABLE DAMAGE


Timber drums do deteriorate over time when exposed to the weather and the level of deterioration is
dependent on the variety and type of weather to which the drum is exposed.

Temperate or colder environments are the most kind to the ageing process, but wetness can induce rot in
the timber and wetness concurrent high temperatures (as may be found in tropical areas) will accelerate the
rotting process. The most obvious point of fastest deterioration is the contact point of the timber drum to the
ground, so it is essential for the drums to be stored on a rm gravel surface or on concrete and that the
drum is not allowed to rest with the ange in water.

Dry and hot environments (near and above 35°C) will have the effect of drying out the timber and inducing
timber shrinkage. The metal components (bolts, shafts, and nails) that hold the timbers in place will
therefore need to be tightened to avoid a loose assembly of timber that will not tolerate the forces of
transport and unwinding of the cable during an installation.

With a drum that has aged or deteriorated, it is necessary that the transverse bolts (ange to ange, also
known as “barrel bolts”) are inspected and tightened and the bolts holding the steel plate at the spindle hole
are to be tightened. Inspection is required before lifting or moving the drum and also after a few turns of the
drum at installation and at intervals during the installation.

One effect of loose barrel bolts is that the tension on the cable during installation may be sufcient for the
cable end being pulled to force its way between other cable turns on the drum or between cable and the
drum ange. Trying to pry that embedded cable out can become difcult and may result in damage to the
cable.

It is also important that the shaft or spindles used to support the drum during unwinding or installation of the
cable are close to the size of the hole provided in the drum. Shafts or supports that are too small will tend to
gouge the spindle hole so that rotation of the drum becomes uneven, usually leading to additional damage
and greater gouging of the spindle hole which leads to greater difculty in using the drum and cable and
could even escalate to a point that winding is no longer possible.

Should it be apparent that spindle hole damage continues to occur then a larger spindle hole needs to be
formed or a Nexans representative be contacted for assistance.

Looseness in the bolts around a spindle plate may induce similar problems. This is why these bolts also
need to be tightened.

Nexans is indicative only and shall not be binding on Nexans or be treated as constituting a representation on the part of Nexans.
Lubrication of the shaft or spindle is advised when the timbers around the spindle hole or around the spindle
plate are suspected of being weakened by ageing. The lubrication will relieve rotational forces on the
timbers and on the spindle plate bolts and the timbers they are bolted to.

It is more difcult to tighten loose nails and some nails that are under the cable will not be accessible. Thus
care is required to make observations and take corrective actions to avoid cable damage.

In those cases where damage is not avoidable then the following corrective actions are recommended:
In the case of the damage being sustained on the surface of the cable sheath and not penetrating much of
the thickness (say depth of damage less than 1.5 mm or 50% of the total thickness, whichever is smallest)
then no repair action is required.

Should it be desired to repair deeper damage or broken or torn or slit sheath, then a heat shrink sleeve to
cover all such damage is acceptable and most commonly used for such repairs.

In terms of cable longevity, for damage deeper than 1.5 mm or 50% of the sheath thickness, a heat shrink
sleeve over the damage restores the function of the sheath.

And should the cable sheath be torn or broken or slit, a heat shrink sleeve over this damage restores the
function of the sheath.

Copper conductors
The diversity and the applications of copper conductors are numerous.
From a single wire to a complex cable, from the lowest section to the highest, copper is available, annealed, hard, bare or
plated.
A lot of applications use the properties of copper :
• Energy
• Telecommunication
• Welding…

The copper qualities generally used for the production of conductors are :
• ETP copper, or Cu-a1, with oxygen content between 200 and 300 ppm.
• OF copper, oxygen-free or Cu-c1, with very small content in oxygen (20 ppm max.) able to resist to hydrogen brittleness
during a heating.
